Website maintenance, handled every month
A broken contact form doesn’t send you an alert. Customers just stop getting through. Our website maintenance services keep your site hosted, updated, backed up and tested every month, and handle the small edits you ask for.

Website maintenance
Hosting, updates, backups and small edits, handled every month.
What you get
Hosting in the plan
Secure hosting set up, paid for and watched as part of the plan, so there’s one less bill and one less login to keep track of.
Updates, then checks
Software, plugins and themes kept current, with key pages and forms checked after every update.
Backups you can restore
Regular backups stored off the server, and restores we actually test, so one bad day doesn’t cost you the whole site.
Security and uptime watch
We watch for downtime, malware and break-in attempts, fix what we find and tell you what happened in plain words.
Edits on request
New photos, prices, hours and holiday notices, done when you send a message, and checked against your Google profile so the two agree.
A monthly test
Forms, click-to-call, tracking and speed tested every month, so a problem is found by us, not by a customer who gave up.
In development: a prompt editor that lets you ask for a change in plain words and approve a preview before it goes live. Site Care clients will get it first.
How it works
Review your site
What it runs on, who controls the domain and hosting, what’s out of date and what’s at risk.
Move or connect
We move the site to our hosting, or work with what you have. Your domain stays in your name either way.
Monthly Site Care
Updates, backups, security checks and the edits you ask for, handled each month by a person who knows your site.
Report and call
A short note each month on what we did, and a monthly call for anything that needs your decision.
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- Nobody updates your site, or you aren’t sure who can
- Your web designer disappeared, and so did the logins
- A form stopped working and you found out weeks later
- You’d rather send a message than log in to change a price
What we won’t do
- Register your domain in our name or hold your site hostage
- Change your site without telling you
- Lock you into a platform you can’t leave

Ask a questionHow much does website maintenance cost per month?
It depends on the site, not on where you are in the US and Canada. A 5-page site with a contact form needs less care than one that takes bookings or payments. We quote Site Care in writing after a short call about your site, and it’s month to month, so you can cancel any time.
What’s included in a website care plan?
Ours, called Site Care, covers hosting, software and plugin updates, off-site backups with tested restores, security and uptime monitoring, a monthly test of forms and tracking, and small edits on request. Bigger jobs, like new sections or a redesign, are quoted separately before any work starts.
Can you look after a site you didn’t build?
Usually, yes, whether it runs on WordPress, a site builder or custom code. We review it first and tell you honestly if it would cost more to keep it running than to rebuild it. On builders like Wix or Squarespace, the platform handles some updates and we handle the rest.
Who owns my website and domain?
You do. Your domain is registered in your name, and your content and analytics stay in your accounts. What you take with you if you leave depends on the platform, so we put it in writing before we start. If a past designer holds your domain, we’ll help you get it moved into your name.
What happens if my website gets hacked?
We take the site offline if needed, clean it or restore a clean backup, close the gap the attacker used and tell you what happened in plain words. Whether cleanup is part of your Site Care plan or quoted separately is set out in writing when you sign up, and the off-site backups are what make a clean recovery possible.
What happens if I leave?
You keep your domain, your content and your analytics. We hand over the site or move it to your new host, as agreed in writing at the start, and remove our access. There’s no long-term contract, so you can leave in any month without a fight.
