Website maintenance services

Keep your site secure, updated, and converting — with senior ownership, clear monthly scopes, and no ticket black holes.

Problems

What problems does website maintenance solve?

Plugin and CMS drift

Outdated WordPress, Shopify themes, or dependencies create security holes and break forms after automatic updates nobody tested.

Silent performance decay

Images pile up, scripts accumulate, and Core Web Vitals slip — until Google and paid traffic stop converting.

No one owns uptime

When the site goes down at midnight, agencies disappear. Maintenance without on-call clarity is theater.

Content edits that take weeks

Small copy and landing-page changes sit in a queue while campaigns wait — or junior freelancers break layout.

Security theater

A plugin scan once a quarter is not a security program. Backups, WAF, access hygiene, and patch SLAs matter.

Process

Our website maintenance process

01

Audit & baseline

Stack inventory, hosting, SSL, backups, Core Web Vitals, and access review — then a fixed monthly scope you can approve.

02

Hardening & updates

Staged updates for CMS, plugins, and dependencies with smoke tests on forms, checkout, and critical journeys.

03

Monitoring

Uptime checks, error signals, and performance snapshots so issues surface before your customers do.

04

Content & small builds

Included hours for copy swaps, new sections, and light landing pages — tracked against your monthly allowance.

05

Report & plan

Monthly summary: what changed, what broke, what’s next — plus recommendations for redesign or speed work when needed.

Fewer emergencies

Patching, backups, and monitoring cut the 2 a.m. “site is down” calls.

FAQ

Website Maintenance — frequently asked questions

What is included in website maintenance?

Typically: CMS and dependency updates, security monitoring, backups verification, uptime checks, Core Web Vitals spot-checks, and a monthly hour bank for content and small UI changes. Larger features are scoped as fixed-fee add-ons.

Do you maintain WordPress and custom sites?

Yes. WordPress, Shopify themes/apps, and custom TanStack/React or full-stack apps — each with a stack-appropriate maintenance plan.

How fast do you respond to outages?

Critical downtime gets priority response during agreed coverage windows. We define SLAs in the maintenance agreement so expectations are written, not assumed.

Can maintenance include SEO and content updates?

Light on-page edits and meta updates fit inside monthly hours. Ongoing technical SEO or content production can be paired with our technical SEO or business growth services.

What if we need a redesign later?

Maintenance keeps the current site healthy. When it’s time to rebuild, we transition into website redesign with a clear cutover plan — no starting from zero on hosting and analytics.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Plans are quoted as fixed monthly fees after a short audit. Complexity (e-commerce, multi-language, custom apps) drives the tier — you’ll see the scope before you subscribe.

Do you work with US, UK, and UAE teams?

Yes. We maintain sites for clients across our location markets with timezone-friendly coverage and clear billing.
