WordPress isn't "build it and forget it". Every month it needs updates, tested backups and security checks. Skip them and sites get hacked, break, and slide out of Google. We handle all of it for one flat monthly fee, so you never have to think about it.
A WordPress site is core software, a theme and a stack of plugins, all written by different people and all updated constantly, often to close security holes that attackers already know about. When updates stop, the gap widens every week. This is what that costs.
Outdated plugins and themes are a common way WordPress sites get compromised. Attackers scan the web for known holes that are already patched in newer versions.
Hosts upgrade PHP, plugins fall out of step, and one bad combination can white-screen the whole site. Untested, you find out from a customer.
When something goes wrong, a recent off-site backup is the only way back. Many sites have none, or one that has never been tested.
Browsers flag insecure sites and search engines demote slow or compromised ones. Traffic and enquiries quietly drop.
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews favour sites they can crawl and trust. A slow, broken or flagged site gets skipped.
An expired certificate or crashed plugin can take a site offline for days when nobody is watching.
The good news: every one of these is preventable. Preventing them is exactly what a hypersites plan does, every month, so you don't have to.

There has been a critical error on this website.
Maintained example shown on the Standard plan. Not sure which side your site is on? Get in touch and I'll tell you.
Search engines reward sites that are fast, secure and load properly. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can only recommend sites they can crawl, trust and understand. A hacked, slow or half-broken site gets filtered out of both.
Every plan keeps those foundations healthy. Growth adds a quarterly SEO & AI-search health check, and the SEO & AI visibility add-on goes further.
Three plans. All monthly, in ZAR, cancellable any time.
For simple sites where routine updates and a monthly backup are all you need.
For business sites that need security scanning, PHP upkeep and weekly backups.
For sites where speed, SEO and hands-on care directly affect revenue.
Your part takes about ten minutes, once. The rest is on me.
Pick a plan, then share your site logins through a secure form that encrypts everything in your browser. That is your whole part.
I start with a full backup and a health check: WordPress, theme and plugin versions, and any existing issues.
Pending updates are applied safely, one at a time, with the site tested after each. Then your plan runs on schedule every month.
You get a short report summarising what was updated, backed up and checked. No jargon, nothing to action.

R350 / hourYes. WordPress core, themes and plugins release updates constantly, and many of them are security patches. Sites that skip updates are the easiest targets for attackers, and they tend to break without warning when hosting changes.
Auto-updates help, but they are not maintenance. Nobody checks the site afterwards, backups are not verified, nothing is scanned for malware, and PHP versions and uptime are not watched. When an automatic update breaks something, you find out from a visitor.
Usually nothing, for a while. Then a plugin vulnerability is published, bots find the site, and it gets hacked, flagged by browsers or knocked offline. Without a recent backup, recovery can cost far more than years of maintenance.
About ten minutes, once: choose a plan and share your logins through a secure form that encrypts everything in your browser. After that, you do nothing. You get a short report each month.

Any WordPress site, on any host, as long as I can get admin access. Hosting and domain costs stay separate and are billed to you directly by your provider.
No. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel any time.
As your maintenance provider I'll also flag opportunities as they come up: a faster, lower-maintenance platform down the line, or the SEO / AI-visibility add-on if it would meaningfully grow your traffic. Options only, recommended when they'd genuinely help.
