When your website is a mission-critical business asset, the costs of poor website maintenance add up quickly. Just a few hours of downtime can lose thousands in revenue. Security breaches can irreparably damage your brand’s reputation. And poor website performance causes vital resources to become inaccessible, failing service users in their moment of need.
At Castlegate, we maintain, manage, and secure WordPress websites for organisations whose digital infrastructure requires the highest level of service and protection. We are experienced at taking on complex websites – with both custom code and off-the-shelf components – and bringing them under control.
We provide fast, reliable, UK-based website and database hosting. Every maintenance project we run includes a zero-downtime migration of your website to our platform, along with the creation of duplicate staging environments for testing and development.
We work consultatively with each client to determine the best fit hosting provider for their requirements. For mission-critical websites, we partner with providers that meet ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type I/II standards, for certified compliance assurance.
Our website maintenance service covers all updates to WordPress and third-party plugins, extensions, and themes. Monthly automated scans keep consent management systems GDPR compliant. To complement this, we conduct comprehensive regular audits confirming all software is up to date, verifying compliance, reporting on performance, and implementing the latest security and compliance measures.
Every website that we host and maintain benefits from layered security protections, including:
All our clients have direct access to our in-house, UK-based support team within office hours, plus out-of-hours support desk monitoring. In the unlikely event of an emergency, our developers are on call to resolve the unexpected.
Beyond troubleshooting, our experienced team provides ongoing guidance on WordPress best practices, helping you to drive the maximum value from your website.
We design comprehensive website maintenance plans around the level of management and support that you need. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and we’ll tailor a service level agreement that suits you.
