Website maintenance services

Website maintenance services that keep your site current, protected and backed up.

One annual care plan covers hosting, updates, security and backups, so your website gets looked after without you having to think about it.

Hosting, updates, security and backups in one plan

Launch day is the start of a website’s life, not the end. Every website runs on software that changes constantly: the platform it’s built on, the plugins and libraries that add features, and the server underneath. When those pieces fall behind, sites slow down, break or get broken into. Our website maintenance services exist so none of that depends on someone remembering.

Signs your site needs a care plan

  • Nobody can tell you when the site’s software was last updated.
  • You don’t know where your backups are, or whether they exist.
  • Your hosting sits in a former developer’s account.
  • Security warnings keep appearing in the dashboard and nobody acts on them.
  • Small text changes sit on a to-do list because nobody owns them.

Why updates alone aren't enough

Popular software attracts attackers. Patchstack, a website security firm, reported that 46% of the vulnerabilities it handled in 2025 had not been fixed by the plugin developer in time for public disclosure. Waiting for an update isn’t a plan. A site also needs firewall rules kept current and regular scans that look for trouble.

What the annual care plan includes

  • Hosting
  • Ongoing updates
  • Security scans
  • Firewall updates
  • Software and plugin updates
  • Backups, at whatever frequency suits your business
  • Minor wording changes

Backups follow your schedule. A firm that changes its site often may want them more frequently than one whose pages rarely change, so we set the frequency with you.

How we work

Getting started

We move your site onto our hosting if needed, check it over, and agree on a backup schedule with you.

Ongoing care

We apply software and plugin updates, keep firewall rules current and run security scans.

Before updates

Backups come first. If an update causes a problem, there’s a recent copy of your site to go back to.

When you need a change

Send us minor wording changes and we’ll make them. Anything beyond the plan is agreed individually with you.

An annual contract with no lock-in

The care plan runs as an annual contract, separate from any website project, and it’s agreed individually with you.

There’s no lock-in. Your website and its content are yours, and if you ever move to another provider, we’ll help transfer the site.

Questions clients ask

Is the care plan part of the website project?

No. It’s a separate annual contract. The project covers building the site; the care plan covers looking after it.

How often do you back up my site?

As often as suits your business. We agree on the frequency with you when the plan starts.

Can you promise my site will never be hacked?

No one can honestly promise that. What we can do is keep the software updated, keep firewall rules current, scan regularly and keep backups, which closes off many of the usual ways in.

Do you only look after sites you built?

No. We look after WordPress sites, custom PHP sites, React and Node.js applications, and plain HTML and JavaScript sites, including ones someone else built. We check it over first, and if it needs repair before a care plan makes sense, we’ll tell you plainly.

Can I move my site to another provider later?

Yes. The site is yours once paid for, and we’ll help with the transfer.
