Website Maintenance & Content Governance

A website stays useful when someone knows what gets reviewed, who owns updates, and how new content is added without gradually breaking the system.

Ongoing maintenance

Protect the working foundation.

Updates

Maintain WordPress core, themes and plugins with sensible review rather than indiscriminate feature accumulation.

Backups

Keep a reliable backup strategy and know how restoration would work before an emergency creates the need.

Performance

Review new media, scripts and plugins so performance does not slowly erode after launch.

Forms

Periodically submit important forms and verify that notifications, confirmations and routing still work.

Links

Review internal and external links, redirects and changed URLs before they become dead ends.

Security

Use only the access, plugins and integrations the site actually needs, and remove obsolete components when practical.

Content governance

Make publishing consistent.

A growing site benefits from a few editorial rules: who can publish, which page types exist, how titles and URLs are written, where new pages belong, what must be reviewed before publication, and how older information is updated or retired.

Governance does not need to be bureaucratic. The point is to preserve clarity as the site grows.

SEO hygiene over time.

Keep page titles unique, connect new content with internal links, control what should be indexed, and refresh time-sensitive information when facts or services materially change.
