I’m Spencer, a Brighton-based WordPress specialist offering monthly care plans and website maintenance to businesses in Eastbourne and across East Sussex. I handle your updates, security, backups and support — so you can focus on running your business, not your website.
No lock-in contracts. No ticket queues. Just reliable, managed WordPress support from someone who knows your site inside out.
I’m Spencer — a Brighton-based WordPress specialist with 10+ years of experience building and maintaining websites for small businesses across Sussex and the UK. My WordPress care plans and maintenance service keep your site secure, up to date and running smoothly every single month.
Running a WordPress website means staying on top of updates, security patches, backups and performance — and that’s before anything goes wrong. My care plans handle all of it every month, so you never have to think about it.
Every month I update WordPress core, all themes and all plugins to their latest versions. This keeps your site compatible, patched against known security vulnerabilities, and running on current code. Outdated plugins are the number one cause of hacked WordPress sites — staying current is the single most important thing you can do.
Daily off-site backups run automatically through my managed hosting. Full site and database snapshots are stored securely so that if anything ever goes wrong — a bad update, a hack, an accidental deletion — I can restore your site quickly from a clean, recent backup.
The Business and Premium care plans include 24/7 security scanning and uptime monitoring. If your site goes down or shows signs of compromise, I’m alerted immediately and act straight away — rather than waiting for a client or customer to notice something is wrong.
Need regular text changes, new images, updated service pages or small design tweaks? The Business plan includes 2 hours of development per month, and the Premium plan includes 5 hours. These can be used for anything from blog uploads and landing page edits to new sections and functionality improvements.
All care plan clients get priority support — if something breaks or you have an urgent issue, you go to the front of the queue. I’m available by email and phone, and for major issues like a site going down or a security breach I treat it as an emergency regardless of the time of day.
Most business owners don’t want to think about their website once it’s live. They want it to work, stay secure, and be there when a customer lands on it. That’s exactly what a WordPress maintenance service provides.
Without regular maintenance, WordPress sites accumulate outdated plugins, security vulnerabilities and performance issues — often without the site owner realising until something goes badly wrong. A hacked site, a broken plugin, or a failed update can take a site offline for days.
What you get with a WordPress care plan from Podium:
* Someone who already knows your site looking after it every month
* Updates tested before being pushed live — no untested batch updates
* A real person to call if something goes wrong, not a ticket system
* Monthly reports so you can see exactly what’s been done
* Peace of mind that your most important marketing asset is protected

My WordPress maintenance service works alongside any of my other services. Whether you need a new site built first, or you’re taking over care of an existing one, I can help.
Every care plan includes WordPress core and plugin updates, regular backups and emergency support. The Business and Premium plans also include 24/7 security and uptime monitoring, monthly development hours and priority support. All plans are month-to-month with no minimum contract.
My WordPress maintenance service starts at £30/mo for the Essential Care Plan — covering core and plugin updates, weekly backups and emergency support. The Business plan is £65/mo and adds security monitoring and 2 hours of development. The Premium plan is £150/mo and includes 5 development hours and a monthly performance review. Hosting-only starts at £7/mo.
Yes — even a static website needs regular maintenance. WordPress core and plugin updates are released constantly to patch security vulnerabilities. Without them, your site is at risk of being compromised even if the content never changes. A basic care plan keeps your site secure and backed up regardless of how active it is.
All care plan clients include emergency support. If your site is compromised I’ll investigate, clean it and restore it from a clean backup as a priority. I’m based in Brighton but work with clients across the UK — help is always at hand regardless of where you are.
Yes — switching your WordPress maintenance service to me is straightforward. I’ll do a full site audit, check for existing issues, get your backups set up and take over from there. Most clients are fully onboarded within a few days.
