Ongoing Website Maintenance for Businesses Across Ireland
Based in Cork, InstaIT provides website maintenance for businesses in Cork and across Ireland that want an experienced technical partner to look after an existing website. We can maintain suitable WordPress websites and standard business websites, including sites originally created by another provider.
Before maintenance begins, we review the website, hosting, software, backups, security, performance and administrative access. This initial assessment identifies existing faults, unsupported components, expired licences and other risks so that responsibilities and any required remedial work are clear.
Websites covered by an InstaIT maintenance plan are hosted on infrastructure located in Irish or EU data centres. The hosting environment includes server-level malware scanning and web application firewall (WAF) protection, adding important security layers alongside website updates, monitoring and backups.
Each maintenance plan has an agreed scope. Routine work can include monitoring, backups, software updates, technical checks and minor corrections. Redesigns, new pages, copywriting, backlink campaigns, custom development and major repairs are discussed and quoted separately.

- Page title, meta description and heading reviews.
- Mobile usability, page speed and Core Web Vitals checks.
- Broken links, missing image alternative text and crawl errors.
- Existing structured data and local business details.
