Maintenance

Website care plans that keep your site fast, secure and up to date

Keep your site fast, secure and up to date without lifting a finger. Updates, backups, security, uptime monitoring and small monthly changes, handled.

Website care plans, abstract technical illustration
Why this option

When it's the right call.

A website isn't finished at launch. Software needs updating, backups need taking, security needs watching, and small changes always come up. A care plan means it's all handled, and someone picks up the phone when something breaks, instead of you discovering it days later.

  • You don't have time to maintain the site yourself
  • You want backups and security handled properly
  • You need occasional changes without hiring per task
Who it's for

A good fit if…

  • Business owners who'd rather run their business than their website
  • WordPress sites that need regular updates and backups
  • Anyone who wants a person to call when something breaks
Probably not, if

Maybe look elsewhere if…

  • You have an in-house team already doing this
  • Your site is fully static with nothing to maintain
What you get

What's included.

  • Core, theme and plugin updates, tested before applying
  • Regular off-site backups, checked that they actually restore
  • Security monitoring, malware scanning and hardening
  • Uptime monitoring with alerts if the site goes down
  • A set allowance of small changes each month
  • Priority support when something goes wrong
Under the hood

How we actually build it.

The detail that separates a page that ranks and converts from one that just exists.

Updates, tested before they touch your live site

Blindly auto-updating plugins is how sites break. We update on a staging copy first, check nothing's broken, then push to production, so "kept up to date" doesn't come with the risk of "kept up to date and now broken."

Backups that are actually verified

A backup nobody has tested is a false sense of security. We keep off-site, versioned backups and periodically confirm they restore cleanly, the failure mode we're protecting against is discovering a backup doesn't work on the day you actually need it.

Security monitoring, not just a plugin left running

Malware scanning, login protection, file-integrity monitoring and a hardened configuration, reviewed by a person, not just a plugin dashboard nobody checks. If something looks wrong, we investigate rather than waiting for you to notice.

Uptime monitoring and a real response

Automated checks alert us the moment your site goes down, so we're often already looking into it before you've noticed. Small monthly changes, content edits, image swaps, small fixes, including keeping page speed from drifting back, are covered within your plan's allowance, not billed as a surprise invoice.

Switching over

Migrating from something else?

No maintenance at all A generic, unmonitored hosting-company "backup" service A previous developer who's gone quiet

Onboarding a care plan starts with a health check: are updates current, do backups exist and actually restore, is anything already compromised. We fix what needs fixing first, then move you onto the regular plan, no surprises inherited from before.

Avoid these

Common mistakes we don't make.

  • Auto-updating plugins with no staging test and no backup first
  • Assuming a hosting company's generic backup is sufficient
  • No uptime monitoring, so outages are discovered by customers, not you
  • Ignoring security warnings until the site is actually compromised
  • No plan for who handles small content changes month to month

Straight talk

When we'd point you elsewhere.

We'd rather lose the sale than sell you the wrong thing.

  • If your site needs more than small changes, new pages, a redesign, that's scoped as its own project alongside the plan.

  • If you have in-house capacity to maintain it yourselves, you may not need this at all, and we'll say so.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

What counts as a "small change"?

Content edits, swapping images, adding a page, tweaking text or prices, the everyday updates. Larger work is quoted separately, always agreed first before it eats into your plan.

Do I have to be on a care plan?

No, it's optional. Plenty of clients take the site and run it themselves. The plan is there if you'd rather not, or don't have the time.

What happens if my site goes down at night?

Uptime monitoring alerts us immediately, and Priority plans include a faster response commitment outside normal hours.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, care plans are billed monthly with no lock-in contract.

More general questions about working with us are answered on the FAQ page, or just ask us directly.
