The hands-on option

Prefer to do it yourself?

Start with the official WordPress update guide, then use the checklists and AI assistant prompts below to plan your maintenance.

Inspect before changing anything. Back up and test on staging. Approve, update, and verify. AI assists the process—you stay in control of live changes.

01 / Inspect before changing anything

Start with a read-only inventory of WordPress, your theme, plugins, PHP version, licenses, and key integrations. Flag unsupported software and compatibility questions.

COPY THIS AI PROMPT
“Review my WordPress setup without changing it. Inventory installed versions and available updates. Check official vendor documentation for compatibility and support. Identify uncertain or missing information; do not guess. Propose an update order, risks, tests, and rollback plan. Do not update, deactivate, delete, install, purchase, or change settings. Do not request passwords, customer records, or API keys in this chat. Wait for my approval.”

02 / Back up and test on staging

Create a fresh backup of both files and database. Confirm how it can be restored, then use a staging copy to test changes before touching the live site. Keep staging private and prevent test emails, payments, and CRM automations from reaching real clients.

COPY THIS AI PROMPT
“Help me verify a current files-and-database backup and a documented restore path. Confirm that we are on staging and that outgoing integrations are isolated. Stop if either is uncertain. After I approve the plan, test updates on staging in small groups and record each change. Check layouts, forms, calculator outputs, login, and key integrations. Report failures and unresolved items. Do not change production or overwrite live data.”

03 / Approve, update, and verify

Review staging results and choose an appropriate maintenance window. Take a fresh production backup, approve the exact changes, and check the live site afterward. Stop and involve your developer if recovery or compatibility is uncertain.

COPY THIS AI PROMPT
“Summarize the tested changes, unresolved risks, backup status, and rollback steps. Ask for my explicit approval of the exact production changes and timing. Do not copy a staging database over live leads or orders. After approval, apply only those changes and verify key pages on desktop and mobile, forms with clearly labeled test data, the mortgage calculator, and integrations. If a critical check fails, stop and report it; ask before a restore that could overwrite new data. Provide a change log and follow-up list.”

AI guidance does not guarantee a secure or error-free site. Keep credentials private and ask for professional help when needed.

A few things to know.

Does this include hosting?

No. Your hosting stays in your own account and is billed separately by your hosting provider. These options focus on website maintenance, with a mortgage calculator option for clients who need it.

What if my site is overdue for maintenance?

Start with a review of the current site. Older software, expired licenses, or compatibility issues may require initial catch-up work. We’ll confirm the scope and any additional cost before work begins.
