The basis is the same in every package: operation and maintenance are fully covered, plus automated checks that go beyond classic maintenance. Maintenance is part of our work as a WordPress agency and applies to websites we have built or taken over.
WordPress consists of core, theme and plugins, which are developed independently of each other. If updates are left undone, known security vulnerabilities remain open, and with every skipped version the next jump becomes bigger and riskier.
The official security guide from WordPress.org therefore recommends always keeping WordPress up to date, because older versions no longer receive security updates. The same applies to themes and plugins.
A website is not finished after launch. Content becomes outdated, requirements change, and search engines and AI systems read differently than they did a year ago. That is why, instead of pure maintenance contracts, we offer Continuous Improvement Packages: operation and maintenance plus a fixed framework for continuously improving the website.
Packages run for twelve months and are billed semi-annually in advance. We share prices in the initial conversation.
You decide who implements changes. Often it is both: small things yourself, larger steps with us.
Your website was built by another agency, or your current service provider is stopping? We take over existing WordPress websites if their technical condition allows it. A check in advance shows whether that is the case.
In 2024, this is how we moved the multilingual website of Wüest Partner from Zurich, including its shop, to a new hosting and support basis. More on projects in Switzerland under WordPress agency for Zurich.
For the commercial law firm GSK Stockmann, we support the main website, the careers site and the Luxembourg presence under a maintenance contract and develop them further with a fixed monthly hour allowance. The lawyer profiles are imported every night from the firm’s database. What law firm websites need beyond that is described under Websites for law firms.
For Max Planck Law, the network of the Max Planck Institutes in law, we handle hosting and maintenance. Publications come daily from the database of the Max Planck Society, currently around 43,000 records. What universities and research institutions should consider with WordPress is described under Websites for universities.
The redevelopment of our website was not a traditional relaunch, but an ongoing transformation process. Together with 360VIER, we gradually modernized our existing WordPress platform – during ongoing operations and without restrictions for our users. On this basis, we were able to efficiently build and centrally manage additional websites for our international subsidiary and the careers section.
With 360VIER, we were able to consistently evolve our digital platform—from classic website structures to an open, intelligent solution with a login area, new-build projects, and automated workflows. This is the foundation for the next stage: AI-powered systems that simplify processes and make customer outreach even more targeted.
With the relaunch of our website, we have fundamentally modernized a legacy platform. 360VIER succeeded in transferring our extensive content into a clear, modern structure while convincingly bringing together design, user guidance, and technical implementation.

At 360VIER, WordPress maintenance costs a fixed monthly amount depending on the package, plus hosting and licenses. Pure update packages on the market start at less than ten euros per month. They usually include no staging tests, no daily checks and no further development. We share the prices of our packages in the initial conversation.
Not necessarily. If you handle updates, backups and tests reliably yourself, you can manage without a contract. For companies whose website generates inquiries or is connected to a CRM, a fixed contract pays off: updates run predictably, errors are noticed early, and you have a fixed contact person instead of help on call.
Security updates as soon as possible, all other updates regularly after testing. WordPress installs minor security updates for the core automatically by default. We test theme and plugin updates on a staging environment first and only then apply them to the live website.
Maintenance is planned and preventive; support responds to your requests. Maintenance includes updates, backups, security and monitoring. Support means: you report an error or a question via the customer portal, and we take care of it. Both are included in our packages.
Maintenance keeps the website secure and functional; further development makes it better. This includes new content and features, faster loading times and more visibility in Google and AI answers, such as an integration of WordPress with HubSpot. Our packages combine both, and implementation is agreed separately.
Twelve months, billed semi-annually in advance. Switching to a larger package is possible at any time and is offset within the current contract. This way you can start small and scale up when the website needs more attention, for example after a relaunch or before a campaign.
No. Hosting and licenses are separate, on request via the same invoice. This way you choose hosting according to your IT’s requirements, and we take over operation on it. Many of our clients’ websites run at Raidboxes with a data center in Germany.
Yes, that is the normal case. After go-live, the website moves directly into a package, with no gap between project and operation. The team that built the website also knows it in operation. How a relaunch works with us is described on the page Website relaunch with WordPress.
