Website Designer in Abuja Nigeria.
Your website is a living asset — and like any asset, it needs regular care. Without maintenance, WordPress sites get hacked, slow down, break after updates, and quietly lose Google rankings. We handle everything so you never have to worry about your website again.
The cost of neglect
An unmaintained WordPress site isn't just risky — it's a ticking clock. Here's what we've seen happen to Nigerian business websites left without a care plan.
Outdated WordPress plugins and themes are the #1 attack vector for hackers globally. Nigerian business websites are actively targeted — especially those running WooCommerce with payment data.
43% of all websites are built on WordPressWithout regular performance checks, databases bloat, caches fill with junk, and unoptimised plugins stack up. A 7-second load time loses 70% of mobile visitors before they read a word.
1s delay = 7% drop in conversionsWordPress plugin updates are essential for security — but updating without testing in a staging environment can break your entire website layout or functionality overnight.
Most site crashes happen during unmanaged updatesA slow site, broken pages, crawl errors, and expired SSL certificates are all signals that push your site down in Google search results — often without you even noticing until clients stop calling.
Core Web Vitals are a direct Google ranking factorHosting companies do not guarantee daily backups on most Nigerian shared hosting plans. If your site is hacked, accidentally deleted, or corrupted — without a backup, it's gone permanently.
60% of small businesses close after data lossContact forms break silently. Booking plugins expire. Product pages throw errors. Customers give up and find a competitor. Regular testing catches these issues before they cost you business.
Broken contact forms are among the top conversion killersMonthly deliverables
Not just updates — a complete care programme keeping your site fast, secure, and performing at its best every single month.
All WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates applied and tested in a staging environment before going live — so updates never break your site.
Full-site backups stored securely off-server every day. If anything goes wrong, we can restore your site to any point within minutes — not days.
Weekly security scans for malware, suspicious files, and vulnerabilities. If a threat is found, we quarantine and remove it at no extra charge.
Your site is monitored every 5 minutes around the clock. If it goes down, we're automatically alerted and working on a fix before most visitors even notice.
Monthly speed checks — image optimisation, cache clearing, database cleanup, and Core Web Vitals monitoring to keep your site loading fast for Nigerian mobile users.
We monitor your SSL certificate expiry and renew it before it lapses — preventing the "Not Secure" browser warning that drives visitors away and tanks your Google rankings.
Need to update a price, swap an image, add a team member, or tweak a page? Our Growth and Premium plans include monthly content edit hours so small changes happen fast.
A clear monthly report showing uptime, security scan results, speed scores, what was updated, and any recommendations — so you always know your site's status.
Always watching
Most Nigerian business owners find out their website is down when a client texts them to say they couldn't access it. By then, enquiries have already been lost.
Our monitoring system checks your site every 5 minutes from multiple global locations. The moment downtime is detected, we receive an automated alert and begin investigating immediately.
How it works
No lengthy onboarding. No technical headaches for you. We handle everything from setup to ongoing management.
Select the maintenance plan that matches your site's size and how much support you need. Not sure? We'll recommend the right fit.
We perform a full technical audit of your current site — documenting everything that needs attention before we begin monthly maintenance.
Uptime monitoring, security scanning, and automated daily backups are all activated within 24 hours of onboarding.
Updates, performance checks, security scans, and content edits are handled every month — you receive a health report at the end of each cycle.
If something goes wrong — a plugin conflict, a hack, unexpected downtime — we're on it. No need to find a developer at short notice.
Why MariaJiwuaku
We built these sites — we know them inside out. And we care about keeping them performing as well on day 365 as they did on launch day.
When your website was built by us, we already know its structure, plugins, and potential problem areas. Maintenance happens faster and more accurately than with a developer who has never seen your site before.
We commit to responding to critical issues within 24 hours. For clients on our Premium plan, priority support means your urgent issues go to the top of the queue — not the bottom.
You receive a clear monthly health report showing everything we did, your uptime score, security scan results, and speed metrics — so you always know your site's status without having to ask.
We understand the specific challenges of Nigerian web hosting environments, local payment gateways that need monitoring, and the connectivity issues that affect Nigerian site performance. We've seen it all.
Most maintenance plans just update plugins. We also actively monitor your PageSpeed scores, Core Web Vitals, and Google Search Console for technical SEO issues that could affect your rankings.
Our maintenance plans are month-to-month after the first month. If you're not happy with the service, you can cancel with 30 days notice — no penalties, no awkward conversations, no lock-in contracts.

FAQs
Every plan includes WordPress core and plugin updates, daily automated backups stored off-server, weekly security scans, 24/7 uptime monitoring, SSL certificate management, and a monthly health report. Growth and Premium plans add performance optimisation, content edit hours, and priority response times.
Yes — in fact, the first 6–12 months after launch are when maintenance matters most. WordPress plugins release security patches regularly, and a newly launched site that's gaining traffic is an increasingly valuable target. Starting maintenance from day one is far cheaper than recovering from a hack or crash later.
Yes. We maintain WordPress and WooCommerce websites regardless of who originally built them. We'll start with a technical audit of your existing site to document its structure and identify any immediate issues before monthly maintenance begins.
Malware removal is included in all plans at no extra charge. We'll quarantine the infected files, remove the malware, restore your site from a clean backup if needed, identify the vulnerability, and patch it. We'll also provide a report on what happened and what was done.
