Website Maintenance and Support

Updates, backups, monitoring and a person who answers.

Monthly care plans that keep the site fast, patched and backed up, with a set number of change hours so small updates do not need a new quote every time.

Pricing

Fixed prices, fixed scopes

Every tier is a written scope you approve before anything starts. Anything outside it is quoted first, never billed after. Monthly plans run on a three month minimum, then rolling with thirty days notice.

Overview

The part nobody budgets for until something breaks

Websites do not stay finished. Plugins get updates, security advisories appear, third party scripts change, and the content that was accurate at launch slowly stops being accurate.

Our maintenance plans cover the unglamorous work: patching, backups, uptime monitoring, performance checks and a queue of small changes handled without a fresh quote each time.

Updates that get tested first

Every update runs on staging before it touches production. If something breaks, it breaks where nobody is watching, and we roll it back rather than discovering it from a customer email.

A named contact, not a ticket queue

You get a direct line to a person who knows your site. Response times are stated in the plan and we report on them monthly.

Scope

What lands in your account

Everything below is included at the stated price. Anything outside it gets quoted before work starts, never after.

  • Core, plugin and theme updates on a staging first workflow
  • Daily offsite backups with one click restore
  • Uptime monitoring with alerting
  • Security hardening and malware scanning
  • Monthly performance and Core Web Vitals report
  • Broken link and 404 monitoring
  • SSL and domain renewal monitoring
  • Included change hours each month
  • Priority response times
  • Quarterly review call

Why it works

The parts that make the difference

01

Staging first

Nothing is updated on the live site until it has run cleanly on staging.

02

Change hours included

Small edits, new pages and content changes come out of your monthly hours rather than a new quote.

03

Reported, not assumed

A monthly summary of what was updated, what was fixed and what the performance numbers did.

04

Rollback ready

Daily backups held offsite for thirty days, restorable in minutes rather than hours.
