Your website is the starting point of any successful digital marketing strategy, and the many facets of website design and development can have a major influence on your website’s performance. This is why at RYCO Design, website maintenance and support for New Hampshire businesses and non-profits is our agency’s expertise.
Monthly WP Maintenance & Support Services
WordPress releases an update on average of every two months. Upgrades are typically to fix bugs and a variety of security issues. Upgrades also add new features and functionality that can improve the overall design and performance of your website. The main components that need to be updated regularly are the WP core, themes, plugins and any other third-party software that powers your website so that everything continues to run smoothly. We offer the following services to ensure your website continues to perform well:
Daily Backups
We will ensure that automatic backups to the database and core files are being performed. We will also store a copy of the website backup off-site.
WP Updates
To prevent security vulnerabilities, we will keep your website up-to-date with the latest released version of WordPress.
Plugin Updates
We will make the necessary updates to your website plugins and confirm the plugins are compatible with the latest version of WP.
Theme Update
We will keep your website theme up-to-date with the latest released version and patch any vulnerabilities in your WordPress theme.
Security Monitoring & Protection

Website Maintenance Plan Pricing
It’s important to have website updates performed regularly by a professional web developer who knows what they’re doing and can monitor and tackle any issues that may arise from an upgrade. Software updates usually go smoothly, but occasionally they conflict with each other and can trigger malfunctions that can cause a poor experience for your visitors, or worse yet, bring your website down entirely.
As a RYCO Design managed website maintenance plan holder, we will also keep resources on tap and re-work our schedule to address any urgent issues that arise. We provide non-emergency website support to all our New Hampshire clients Monday – Friday, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm. We are also available outside the normal business hours for emergency situations.

Ryan does a great job with creating fresh, modern design concepts, spot-on logos and sophisticated websites for all types of companies. As a marketing/comms expert - I have been impressed by all of his work and how well he aligns with the vision and needs of brands. Highly recommend!
Heather S.

Laurie M.
I have been working with Ryan Collette since 2013, when he revamped my website. The site has many pages, with slideshows and audio and video samples, and Ryan embraced the project from the start. No request was insurmountable. Always responsive, professional, and proactive, Ryan’s first concerns in both website design and maintenance are the client’s continued happiness and satisfaction. I enthusiastically recommend Ryco Design!
Barbara H.
Ryan answered our questions and gave us a beautiful, colorful website. What we thought were problems, he made into solutions. He's kind and calm and just the best to work with!!

Ryan just recently did our company website and the results were fantastic. We were very light on ideas and concept, and the site had not been updated in over 10 years, so he had his work cut out for him. He was able to take the rough outline we had and flesh it out in all areas to encapsulate our business better than we thought possible. Ryan was very diligent and patient with us through the whole process which made it very easy. He had the confidence and knowledge to take the reins when needed, but was also in tune with our ideas which really shown through in the final product. We would highly recommend working with Ryan and RYCO Design. Top notch.

Website Security Services
With WordPress being the most popular website platform, it is more prone to hacks and attacks. Because threats on WordPress are becoming more common, we implement the best security tools to help eliminate the brute force attacks and to avoid any critical issues that can occur. Here are some of the proactive security steps we take to ensure your website will remain secure.
User Permissions
The most common WP hacking attempts use stolen passwords. You can make that difficult by using stronger passwords that are unique for your website. Not only should you use strong and unique passwords for the admin area, but also for FTP accounts, the database and the hosting account.
Block Brute Force Attacks
We implement protection that prevents brute force attacks by locking out users after too many login failures, locking out users after using the “forgot password” form too many times and prevent WP from giving hackers information about what usernames may exist on your system.
Country Blocking
Country Blocking is designed to stop an attack, prevent content theft or end malicious activity that originates from a geographic region. Blocking countries such as India and Russia; who are regularly creating failed logins, a large number of page not found errors and are clearly engaging in malicious activity; is an effective way to protect your website.
Web Application Firewall
A Web Application Firewall stops you from getting hacked by identifying malicious traffic, blocking attackers before they can access your website.
Malware Scan
We scan core files, themes and plugins for malware, code injections and back-doors. In addition, we check these files against WordPress.org repository versions to check their integrity.
File Repair
If we do find that your website has been compromised, we will repair, remove or revert back to a recent backup of the website to repair the hacked files.
