What does website maintenance include, and do you need it?

A website is like a shop: it needs regular care to stay open and look good.

What maintenance usually covers

  • Updates to software, plugins and security patches
  • Backups on a schedule, stored safely
  • Security checks and monitoring
  • Uptime checks so you know if the site goes down
  • Small content changes: prices, photos, new items
  • Fixes when something breaks
  • Domain, hosting and SSL renewals

What happens without it

Outdated software is the main cause of hacked sites. Forms stop sending enquiries, links break, and prices go stale, and you may not notice for weeks.

How much do you need?

  • A simple brochure site that rarely changes: basic updates and backups.
  • A shop or a site you update often: ongoing support with quick response.

Ask what is included

Get in writing how many changes per month, how fast issues are handled, and what counts as extra work.

Monthly check you can do yourself

  1. Open your site on your phone
  2. Submit your own contact form and confirm you receive it
  3. Check your Google listing and phone numbers

See our Website Maintenance plan.
