Website maintenance

What needed attention

The existing WordPress site needed a practical maintenance pass rather than a redesign. The work focused on navigation, galleries, enquiry forms, theme updates, and unnecessary plugins.

Keep the existing photography, content, URLs, and form history intact.
Make changes directly on the live site in small, reversible steps.

Work completed

A careful refresh of the existing site

Adzbyte Solutions improved the gallery presentation, tidied the navigation and service order, refreshed form and footer styling, updated Divi, and reviewed plugins one at a time before changing their status.

Mixed portrait and landscape images now keep their natural proportions.
Unnecessary plugins were left inactive when rollback value remained.
Relevant caches and generated styles were refreshed after changes.

Result

A cleaner site with a safer maintenance baseline

The site kept its familiar design and content while receiving the requested fixes. Public pages, galleries, forms, and responsive views were checked after the maintenance work.

Existing media and historical form data were preserved.
Plugin decisions were documented for easier future maintenance.
