Website maintenance plans that keep your site patched, backed up and online

The work that starts after launch

A website keeps needing attention after it goes live. SSL certificates renew, plugins and frameworks publish security fixes, hosting providers change their platforms and forms quietly stop sending email. None of this is visible until something breaks, usually at an inconvenient moment. A website care plan turns that background risk into someone's actual job.

Each plan covers managed hosting with SSL and a global CDN, professional email on your domain, uptime monitoring with alerts, weekly off-site backups with a 30-day history, monthly security and framework patching, and a set number of development hours you can use for changes.

What happens each month

Patches are applied on a regular schedule and tested on a staging copy before reaching the live site, so an update does not take down your checkout or booking form. Backups are stored separately from the hosting account, which matters if the host itself has a problem. If monitoring detects downtime, an alert goes to the team that already knows your code, rather than to a general help desk.

Your reserved hours cover the small requests that pile up: a new landing page, a pricing change, a broken link, a new staff profile. A monthly report shows what was updated, any incidents and how the hours were used. You also get a single point of contact who knows the history of your site, which shortens every conversation about changes or problems.

Who needs a care plan, and who does not

It suits any business whose website takes bookings, sells products or generates leads, where a day offline has a real cost. It is particularly useful for sites built on WordPress or similar platforms with many plugins.

A very simple static site with no forms or integrations may need little more than reliable hosting. If that describes yours, we will recommend a lighter arrangement. Plans run month to month, so there is no long contract to escape. Before a plan starts, you receive a short onboarding review of your current hosting, backups and plugins, so the first month begins from a known, documented baseline rather than assumptions about how the site was built.
