Honest advice. Websites that work. Still here six months after launch.

When Website Problems Start Slowing You Down

A website should work for you every day. But when things break, load slowly, or display incorrectly after an update, it quickly becomes a distraction that costs time, money, and credibility.

If this sounds familiar, you are not the only one. Most of the clients we support came to us after something went wrong. They knew their website was important but did not have the time or technical knowledge to keep it secure and running smoothly.

Small issues can turn into bigger problems:

Unexpected downtime
Security risks and malware
Broken layouts after updates
Slow pages that lose customers
Features that stop working without warning

Your business should not be held back by avoidable website issues.

What Gets Done Every Month

We look after WordPress websites for businesses across Staffordshire and beyond. Our Web Care Plan keeps your site secure, fast, updated, and fully backed up. We have been doing this since 2008 and we work proactively to prevent problems before they happen, not just fix them after the fact.

You do not have to worry about your website. Your customers get a reliable experience. And your site stays a strong asset for your business rather than a source of stress.

Not sure what your site needs?
We will take a look and tell you honestly.

What We Look After For You

Security and HTTPS Management

Ongoing security monitoring, malware checks, login protection, and SSL certificate oversight, so your site stays protected without you having to manage it.

Backups and Rollback Protection

Daily backups and secure storage mean your site can be restored quickly if anything goes wrong. You are never more than a step away from a clean version of your site.

Updates and Compatibility Checks

We safely manage updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins, making sure everything works properly without breaking your layouts or functionality.

Uptime and Performance Monitoring

We track uptime, detect issues early, and keep your site fast with regular performance checks. Problems get caught before your customers notice them.

Why Website Maintenance Matters

Websites are living systems. Without regular care, they become vulnerable. The most common issues we see in unmaintained sites:

Increased vulnerability to hacks
Plugin conflicts and broken features
Outdated software and security gaps
Slower loading times
Gradual decline in SEO visibility
Expensive emergency recovery work

A care plan eliminates these risks so your website keeps doing what it is supposed to do.

Our Web Maintenance Process

Simple, transparent, and consistent every month.

Onboarding Review

We assess your website to identify any immediate issues and review its setup, security, performance, and structure.

Secure Update Cycle

We carry out updates, run manual checks, and make sure your website remains stable after every change.

Continuous Monitoring

We track uptime, security warnings, and performance so we can respond to issues before they affect your customers.

Regular Improvement Checks

We review performance and technical health to make sure your website stays effective over time, not just functional.

Monthly Reporting

Every month you receive a clear report showing the work completed, what was updated, and how your site is performing. No jargon, just a straightforward summary of what happened and what is next.

Built for WordPress Websites

Our care plan is designed specifically for WordPress. We understand the platform, its strengths, and the complexities that cause issues when they are not maintained correctly. That includes block editor and theme compatibility, plugin selection and licence management, WooCommerce updates and stability, and custom code review where needed.

You get a developer-led support service, not a generic hosting add-on.

Your Website Should Be An Asset, Not A Risk

Your business depends on a reliable online presence. With a care plan in place, your site stays secure, fast, and ready to perform every day. You focus on running your business. Your website stays secure, up to date, and out of your way.

Ben reviewed my Google business profile and gave me the feedback over a half hour zoom call. The feedback was jargon free which is ideal for a digital immigrant like me (gen X). There were a host of simple actionable advices which should improve my presence over time. Ben was warm and friendly throughout and I'd recommend his services to anyone running a business.

I recently met with Ben at Cosmik Carrot to understand a little more about the art of the possible and what more I can do to support my business Profile using google. In 30 minutes I learned a lot, took a lot of notes and actions to take away and implement.
Great experience all round.
Thanks Ben!!

I found the Google Business Profile Audit by Ben Bradley of Cosmik Carrot incredibly helpful. Ben’s recommendations helped me tailor my profile to my target audience and showed me several areas where I was missing information or not fully utilizing this free Google service.

Ben's knowledge of how search engines work — and how to adjust content for better results — has changed how I look at not only my Google Business Profile, but also my website and the bigger SEO picture.

The amount of information included in the audit was astounding and detailed, but what really stood out was the way Ben explained it. He made the information digestible and easy for a non-geeky person to understand, which is exactly what’s needed to actually make the improvements.

I highly recommend Cosmik Carrot to anyone wanting to grow their business and looking for a knowledgeable partner to help them do it.

Ben spent time assessing and suggesting amendments to my Google business profile for my business (Sara McCracken Consulting The PR Club). It was a thoughtful and insightful session, and I came away with simple actions to make my profile better. Having an up to date profile is essential, and if you need some support then I would highly recommend Ben. Thank you!

Ben ran the free Google Business Profile Audit Strategy effectively and responded well to all questions that I had. Even though it was at no financial cost, it's still an investment of time so I was pleased that Ben kept to the time slot promised, both starting and ending punctually, which I think is important. I now have plenty of action points to pursue in the coming week, so the session was well worth my time..

Ben Bradley and the team at Cosmik Carrot did an outstanding job managing our Google Ads during an extremely difficult period for our business.

At the time we engaged them, the company had suffered a serious website compromise, our Google Business Profile was suspended, and we had lost most of our trust signals with Google. As a result, our organic traffic had dropped to nearly zero, putting the business at real risk.

Through a carefully managed Google Ads strategy, along with targeted website adjustments, Cosmik Carrot helped stabilize traffic, maintain lead flow, and keep the company operational while trust was rebuilt. Their approach was thoughtful, disciplined, and focused on protecting the business rather than chasing short-term metrics.

We genuinely credit their work with helping us stay in business during a critical period. I would highly recommend Ben Bradley and Cosmik Carrot to any company facing complex Google Ads or visibility challenges.

He took the time to explain everything clearly, highlighted things I hadn’t even considered, and gave really practical, easy-to-action advice. No pressure, no salesy pitch, just real value and insight. You can tell he truly knows his stuff. I’d absolutely recommend Ben to anyone wanting to improve their online visibility. Thanks again!

I would highly recommend Ben at Cosmik Carrot. My business is less than a year old and I have been working on many areas. One area I have neglected is my Google business profile and presence. Ben offered to run an audit and provide some insight and strategy. He took me through everything step by step and we identified lots of areas where things could be improved. I was impressed by Ben's knowledge and the great way he took me through everything. If you want to boost your presence and build a digital marketing strategy I recommend you contact Ben at Cosmik Carrot.

Our website was created on a customised buddyboss platform by our original web developers but had developed multiple issues that other developers couldn't fix. We needed someone to fix our site, update and improve our subscription and security issues, build new custom functionality and a searchable customised library page for the site and work long term with us as the site grew.

Later we needed help with integration with another company so Cosmik Carrot sorted our Single user sign-on functionality. He has also provided continuous tech support for our community for any ongoing issues and helped us with hosting.

Excellent and quick communication. They are incredibly reliable — no other developer we have worked with has been able to do this!

I reached out to hire Cosmik Carrot because I knew that my website needed a facelift. Not only to make it look better but perform better as well as rank higher in google. I am located in Boston, MA and there was never a moment where I felt abandoned or that Cosmik Carrot took long with responses, they are super quick, on top of communication considering they are halfway across the globe.. oh and they are very gentle with the reminders. I would highly recommend hiring this company to do your website because lets face it, website design isn't easy. Sure you could spend time doing it yourself but there's a learning curve. I hired them because I wanted to spend my time doing what I love and trusting that they are the EXPERTS so they would do it right the first time. I liked working with them because they are kind and intelligent. I respect their work. I respect their clear expectations. And I enjoyed the entire process that was organized to the point where it put my hidden talent of organization to shame. Ben is my go to guy, he is the guru. If you have the funds, invest in your business... its a tax write off in the USA. Have a professional like Cosmik Carrot create your website, fine-tune your SEO and other tech stuff that you can't do.

Ben is an amazing partner to engage for your website project. He understands not only WordPress very well but also the relevant plugins for my project which included LearnDash, MemberPress and UnCanny. He has a structured milestone based delivery model, so you know exactly how your project is progressing. He created an elegant and logical Sitemap and the design is better than I had imagined. We hit some issues with a plugin bug but Ben worked directly with them to get it fixed. Ben comes highly recommended.

I hired Cosmik Carrot because I had gone as far as I could on my own with my WordPress site and my WooCommerce store needed an overhaul. Working with Ben was such a pleasure. From the start, his attention to detail, from our conversations to follow up questions he asked, it was very clear that the end result was going to be exactly what I wanted. He is well versed in all things WP, WC, Divi and more. I am beyond happy that my site is now working the way I always wanted it to and it's a much better experience for the user! If you're in need of a developer who truly knows their stuff and will give you brilliant suggestions and recommendations, look no further than Cosmik Carrot. I will be turning to them as soon as possible to take over the day-to-day management of my site as well. Highly recommend!

I hired Cosmik Carrot to develop a website, from scratch, for my business. Ben has been an absolute dream to work with. From the very first meeting, he was responsive, receptive and open to new ideas. Communication has been 1st class and Ben always replied promptly. He, in turn, also gave me lots of good ideas and suggestions which I had not thought of. Just as important, the finished product is much better than I could have imagined. I could not have wished for a better website developer. I wholeheartedly recommend Cosmik Carrot! Worth every penny.

I was as happy as can be with Ben's work. My website was a piece of work, but he quickly developed a plan what needs to be done and followed through wit it quickly and professionally. He made my website load much faster, optimized the mobile page, optimized my blog structure and Google my Business listing, fixed my contact form and much more. Google did not like my website before he started working on it and only had 5 pages (out of 200) in its index. Within 2 weeks Ben brought this number up to 198. It is clear that he is very skilled in the technical aspect and has a deep and thorough understanding of website development. He is very pleasant to work with. He responded to every single message I sent him quickly, in detail and very politely (I personally am not thrilled when freelancers write to me as though they're texting a friend - Ben's communication stood out as always professional and refined). In several video meetings we talked in depth about the work I envision. He is clearly interested in fulfilling all the customer's ideas and wishes. He does not push any agenda onto the customer and is definitely working towards fulfilling the goals in a manner that is time and cost effective. I would and will hire him again in the future.
