Why Bother?
What is website maintenance and why is it important?
Your website looks fine. It loads. Customers can use it. But under the hood, outdated plugins, untested backups, and zero monitoring create vulnerabilities that hackers exploit daily.
The worst part? You won’t know there’s a problem until your site is down, hacked, or completely unrecoverable.
Take this 60-second quiz to see where your website is vulnerable and what it could cost you if something goes wrong.
Is your website a ticking time bomb?
Answer 8 quick questions to get your website health risk score.
-
When did you last update your website's software and plugins?
-
Do you have automatic daily backups?
-
Is your site secured with an SSL certificate (HTTPS)?
-
Is anyone actively monitoring your site for malware and attacks?
-
How quickly does your site load on a phone?
-
Do you know your site's uptime over the last month?
-
When something breaks, who fixes it?
-
Do you receive monthly performance reports?
Choose Wisely
How to choose a website maintenance service (without getting ripped off)
Most website maintenance providers hide their pricing, delegate your site to junior staff, or lock you into contracts with auto-renewal clauses buried in fine print.
Some charge $150/month but exclude the things that actually matter. Others promise 24/7 support but take three days to respond.
Here’s how to tell the difference between providers who protect your site and those who just collect monthly fees.
Provider evaluation scorecard
Answer a few questions to see if your maintenance provider makes the grade.
-
Does the provider show pricing upfront?
Look for a clear pricing page on their website. Hidden pricing often means higher costs.
-
Are daily backups included?
Backups should happen automatically every 24 hours without your intervention.
-
Do they test backup restores regularly?
Backups are useless if they don't work. Do they verify that data can be recovered?
-
Is security monitoring included?
Includes malware scanning, firewall configuration, and brute force protection.
-
Is there a guaranteed response time?
Do they promise to reply within a specific timeframe (e.g. 1 hour, 4 hours)?
-
Do experienced specialists, not junior staff, do the actual work?
Knowing who accesses your site is critical for security and quality.
-
Can you stay month-to-month with no long-term lock-in?
Month-to-month keeps providers accountable and on their toes.
-
Are you free to cancel anytime with no penalties?
You should be able to move your site whenever you want.
-
Are plugin/core updates included?
Regular updates prevent security vulnerabilities in plugins and themes.
-
Is uptime monitoring included?
Do they know if your site goes down before you do?
-
Is emergency support included?
If your site breaks on a Friday night, will they help you immediately?

Websites we maintain and manage
Take a gander at some of the businesses that benefit from our website maintenance service.
What's included in our website maintenance service
True website peace of mind.
Hosting
High performance hosting that puts you ahead
Unlike big hosting providers with overcrowded servers, we provide:
- Dedicated Resources: Your site won’t fight for bandwidth.
- Blazing-Fast Load Times: Always tuned for peak performance.
- Reliability You Can Trust: No hidden trade-offs, just consistent results.
Updates
Weekly updates to keep your website fresh
First Impressions Count: A fresh, updated site signals that you’re reliable, relevant, and ready for business.
Security is Non-Negotiable: Regular updates help seal security gaps, fix bugs, and keep your site safe from cyber threats.
We handle all updates weekly, ensuring your site stays modern and secure, without breaking anything.
Professional updates. Zero stress.
Backups
Daily and weekly backups for those "uh-oh" moments
Did a quick change to your blog post accidentally break your site? No problem. We create daily and weekly backups to ensure your website can be restored instantly, no stress, no downtime.
Backups for the Backups: If a weekly backup fails, we have daily backups stored separately to act as an extra layer of protection.
Ultimate Peace of Mind: Even if your entire site gets deleted, we’ll have it back up and running in no time.
You’re never more than a click away from getting your site back to perfect.
Malware Protection
Malware protection and removal to keep your site safe
The reality is, hackers and bots are everywhere, constantly trying to exploit weaknesses. But you don’t have to worry, we’ve got your back.
Proactive Defense: We use advanced security tactics to block threats before they reach you. Rapid Response: If malware sneaks in, we’ll find it, remove it, and ensure your site is secure again.
24/7 Monitoring: Rest easy knowing your site is constantly being watched for vulnerabilities.
Your website is more than safe, it’s unbreakable.
Spam Filtering
Spam filtering that weeds out the nonsense
Spam can come in many different forms including comments, emails, and links. At best, spam is incredibly annoying.
At worst, it’s a threat to your website and thus, your business. Spam clogs up your lead generation and bombards your inbox.
It damages your websites user experience and hurts your reputation.
We’ll use modern spam filtering techniques to keep spam comments, links and form submissions to a minimum.
Uptime Monitoring
24/7 uptime monitoring for peace of mind
Website downtime costs businesses an average of $300,000/hour.
Do you know if your website is down right now? How often do you want to check?
Or, would you rather have someone keeping an eye on it for you? Who gets notified the minute it goes down, and instantly gets to work fixing it?
This is what 24/7 uptime monitoring looks like. And this is what we do.
SSL Certificate
SSL certificate (HTTPS) included
Website SSL certificates are non-negotiable these days. If your website doesn’t have one, Google will never take you seriously and never rank your website.
As such, you’d think that web hosting companies would simply include them for free with your their hosting services. Especially since SSL certificates cost them nothing.
This is not the case. Go figure.
We include it in our hosting. Simple as that.
Analytics
Website analytics you can actually understand
You have a shiny beautiful website that you’re eager to show off to everyone you talk to. But does anyone actually see it?
- How many visitors do you get every day?
- How long do they stay on your website?
- Which pages are the most popular with them?
- How much time does it take for those pages to load?
- These are the kinds of questions you must have answers to. And we’ve got them for you.

Frequently asked questions about website management
You asked, we answered.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Most providers charge $150-300/month or trap you in annual contracts starting at $1,800. DIY managed hosting runs $30-50/month but you're handling updates, security, and backups yourself. Our service is $95/month with everything included. No contracts, cancel anytime.
What's the difference between website maintenance and website management?
Maintenance is the technical stuff: updates, backups, security, uptime monitoring. Management adds content updates, SEO, analytics reporting, and ongoing improvements. Our $95/month covers full maintenance. We handle content changes without charging you hourly like most agencies do.
Do I really need website maintenance if my site is working fine?
Your site works fine until it doesn't. Outdated plugins create security holes hackers exploit daily. Hosting companies oversell servers until your site crawls. Themes break when site updates. Without monitoring, you find out your site is down when a customer tells you. Maintenance prevents fires instead of putting them out.
What happens if my site gets hacked?
We catch most attacks before they succeed. If something gets through, we restore from backup within hours and patch the security hole. Most DIY site owners don't discover hacks for days or weeks. By then Google has blacklisted them and their host suspended their account.
Can I maintain my website myself?
You can, but it's time-consuming and risky. Updates sometimes break sites. Backups fail silently. Security plugins need proper configuration. Most business owners burn 3-5 hours monthly on basic maintenance, not counting time fixing broken updates. We handle it for less than your hourly rate is worth.
What's included in the $95/month?
New builds use our own ultra-light stack: pure code, no backend, nothing to patch, nothing to hack. We also maintain existing client sites on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, and Wix, and can manage most other platforms. If you're on something unusual, just ask.
How quickly do you handle updates and fixes?
Routine updates happen weekly on schedule. Urgent fixes like downtime or security issues get handled same day, usually within hours. Content updates turn around in 1-2 business days. You work directly with me, not some junior staffer who'll get to your ticket eventually.
What platforms do you build on and maintain?
Everything. High-performance hosting, weekly updates, daily backups stored offsite, malware scanning and removal, 24/7 uptime monitoring, SSL certificate, spam filtering, Google Analytics, client portal, unlimited email support. No setup fees. No hourly charges for basic updates. No surprise invoices. Just $95/month.
What if I want to cancel?
Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We hand over backup files, DNS records, and login credentials. You own everything from day one. Unlike agencies that lock you into year-long contracts or hold your site hostage, you walk away clean. Exception: new site program clients need to finish their 24-month term or buy out the balance.
How is this different from my hosting company's support?
Hosting companies provide server space and fix server problems. They don't update plugins, monitor performance, remove malware, or handle content changes. Their support teams deal with thousands of customers using scripts. You get me. I've been building and maintaining websites since 2013. I handle everything personally. Massive difference.
