Explained
What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance is the recurring work needed after a site launches. Software ages, security issues are found and content changes, so a site that is not maintained slowly becomes slower and less safe.
It is different from a redesign or new build. Maintenance keeps the existing site healthy and makes small, scheduled changes.

Security
Why do updates and backups matter?
- Security. Outdated plugins and themes are a common way sites are compromised.
- Stability. Updates fix bugs and keep the site compatible with new PHP and browser versions.
- Recovery. A recent backup lets a broken or hacked site be restored quickly.

Pricing
How much does website maintenance cost?
This service is quoted after a free audit, because the price depends on the scope of work. It is priced monthly by the size of the site. For slow pages, see our speed optimization service, which is a separate project.
Frequently asked questions
How often should a website be updated?
Security updates should be applied promptly, and other updates on a regular schedule. We review them at least monthly and apply critical ones sooner.
Is a backup from my host enough?
Host backups help, but they sit on the same provider. We keep copies stored away from the server and test that they restore.
What counts as a small content change?
Edits to text and images, and simple new pages. Large new sections are scoped as projects.
What is in the monthly report?
The updates applied, backup and security status, uptime, and the content changes made that month.
