Website Maintenance Services: Keep Your Site Fast, Secure and Working

A website is not finished when it launches. I look after updates, backups, security, speed and small changes so your site keeps producing enquiries instead of surprise problems.

What's Included

A monthly routine that prevents the common problems

๐Ÿ”„

Updates

WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, tested so an update does not break the layout or checkout.

๐Ÿ’พ

Backups

Off-site backups on a schedule, with a restore actually tested rather than assumed.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Security

Malware scans, login hardening and cleanup if something slips through.

โšก

Speed & Uptime

Page-speed checks, image and cache tuning, and alerts if the site goes down.

โœ๏ธ

Content & Small Changes

A monthly allowance for text, image, banner and page edits.

๐Ÿ”

SEO Health

Search Console errors, broken links, redirects and form tests checked monthly.

Who It's For

Business owners who want the website handled, not babysat

Best for clinics, consultancies, eCommerce stores and service businesses whose website is a lead source but who have no in-house developer. If your site rarely changes and runs on a managed platform like Wix or Squarespace, you probably need less than a full plan.

FAQ

Common questions

What does website maintenance include?

Regular software updates (WordPress core, plugins and themes), off-site backups, security scans, uptime and speed monitoring, broken-link and form checks, and a set amount of small content or design changes each month.

Why does a website need maintenance?

Outdated plugins and themes are a common way sites get hacked, and unmonitored sites quietly break: forms stop sending, pages slow down, SSL certificates expire. Maintenance catches these problems before they cost you enquiries or search visibility.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Market rates for small-business WordPress maintenance commonly sit between about $50 and $300 a month, with eCommerce or heavily customised sites costing more. I quote after looking at your site, its plugins and how often it changes.

Do you maintain websites you did not build?

Yes, after a short audit of the current setup, hosting, plugins and backups. If something is fragile, I will tell you what needs fixing first.

What if my site is hacked or broken right now?

Contact me on WhatsApp with the site address. I restore from a clean backup where one exists, remove the cause, update and harden the site, then set up monitoring so it does not recur.

Is maintenance included with a new website?

Every website I build includes 3 months of free maintenance. After that you can continue on a monthly plan or handle it yourself.

Does maintenance help SEO?

Indirectly, yes. A fast, secure, error-free site with working forms and no broken pages supports crawling and user experience. It is not a substitute for SEO content or links.

Is your website overdue for a checkup?

Send me the site address and I will reply with what needs attention within 24 hours.
