You’ve launched your website, the design looks stunning, and everything runs like clockwork, for now. But what happens when your site suddenly slows down, an update breaks a plugin, or your online store goes offline during peak sales hours? That’s where a website service level agreement (SLA) steps in, the digital equivalent of an insurance policy and a safety net combined.
At WeCreate, we don’t just design and develop websites; we make sure they stay secure, fast, and reliable long after launch.
What Exactly Is an SLA?
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a formal commitment between your business and your web partner, in this case, us, that defines exactly how your website will be supported, maintained, and protected.
Think of it as a blueprint for peace of mind. It outlines what’s monitored, how quickly issues are resolved, and what level of uptime you can expect. An SLA isn’t just tech jargon; it’s a promise that your digital presence won’t let you down when it matters most.
Why Every Business Needs an SLA
Your website is often your brand’s first impression, and, in many cases, its main revenue channel. A well-defined web maintenance contract ensures you’re not left scrambling when something goes wrong.
Without one, businesses risk:
- Security vulnerabilities from outdated plugins or CMS versions.
- Slow load times that frustrate users (and search engines).
- Missed revenue from unexpected downtime.
A WordPress SLA in particular can be invaluable, as WordPress sites rely on constant updates, database optimizations, and plugin compatibility checks. At WeCreate, we handle all that behind the scenes, so your team can focus on what they do best, running the business, not firefighting website issues.
Key SLA Metrics to Keep an Eye On
A good SLA is specific and measurable. Here are a few performance metrics we often include for our clients:
- Uptime Guarantees: 99.9% or higher, because downtime costs money (and credibility).
- Support Response Time: Fast, structured communication ensures your issues are addressed before they escalate.
- Security and Backups: Regular scans, real-time monitoring, and automated daily backups keep your site safe from threats.
- Performance Optimization: Regular database cleanup, caching checks, and image optimization to maintain peak speed.
In short: measurable reliability, built on proactive care.
