How to stay cool when your client wants
to maintain their own WordPress site?
These days with the help of internet you can fix almost anything still there are things which needs expert
help. So, you must be aware of the fact where you can experiment and where you must immediately seek
help. If you are a good writer and have been getting good response over your content from your viewer
that doesn’t ensure that you will also be good at all other things including maintaining sites. When you
are talking about site maintenance then you must remember that it involves lot of technical things. First
understanding what the error code means and then finding a solution for the error and implementing it
correctly requires lot of hard work and patience so it is better to leave it on the hands of experts.
WordPress has improved a lot from its early days and now the client can maintain the website by
themselves initially but if something goes wrong somewhere then asking for help will be the wisest thing
to do before messing up the whole thing. There are certain things which the site owners can put to
practice so that even things go wrong it is easier to fix.
Here are some pointers which you can remember while maintaining your own site –

Maintenance of the site
When the notification for the update appears do remember to click it. It is simple thing which most of the
users tend to forget but that will help you to keep all your contents and themes intact.

Look before you leap
If you want to invest on any theme then first research about the product you are investing by reading
reviews and updates and if you find most people voting for the product then only go for it else look for
something else which is responsive.
While working for the client maintained site there are some themes which can be used for the clients who
have budget constraints. Themes like WooThemes, Elegant Themes and Kriesi.at are some of the low
budget themes which gives the clients what they want but within limited budget.
Some of the security plugins comes for free like the BulletProof Security or even the Akismet so have
them uploaded to keep your site free from malware attacks and other security threats. These are very
important as these might attack the site any time and blow off all the important contents of your site
leaving you feel helpless. So, just as the old proverb goes “Prevention is better than Cure” therefore
having some security plugin will surely help the cause.

Helping clients to maintain their sites
While setting up the website on behalf of the client one thing that can be done to simplify things is to
disable the CSS Button which might be the root to most of the problem that the client create for
themselves. Another important thing is to install the plugin which notifies of the broken link so that it can
be fixed within no time.
So, if you are aware that the client wants to maintain the site all by themselves then create the website in a
simple manner so that even if things go wrong somewhere and they seek your help you will be able to fix
it easily.
