Website maintenance that protects the site you already built.
I keep your website secure, current and fast with updates, backups, security patches, content edits and uptime checks on a regular schedule, so your team does not have to keep track of it.
Regular maintenance helps you avoid costly website problems.
Broken checkouts, slow pages, outdated content and missed security patches can each cost you leads, sales and the trust of your visitors. Regular maintenance costs less than fixing these problems after they happen.
It may be time to hand it over if:
- Plugin or platform updates have been put off for months
- You are not sure when the last backup was taken
- Pages are loading more slowly than they used to
- A contact form or checkout stopped working without warning
- Small text changes wait weeks for someone to have time for them
What I handle on a regular schedule.
This is the work I do on a recurring schedule, so problems like a site outage or a broken checkout are found and fixed early.
Updates and security
Plugin, theme and core platform updates, security patches and malware scans.
Backups and uptime
Weekly off-site backups with restore testing, and uptime monitoring so I hear about an outage first.
Speed and search
Page speed and Core Web Vitals tracking, image optimization, meta data and heading checks.
Content edits
Text changes, image swaps, new pages and small design changes when you send them.
Links, forms and tools
Broken link audits, redirect maps, and testing of forms, integrations and analytics.
Monthly report
A plain-language summary of what changed, what was tested and what to plan for next.

What does website maintenance include?
Website maintenance covers the ongoing work that keeps a site running, secure and current. This includes content updates, plugin and theme updates, security patches, backups, broken link fixes, image and page speed improvements, uptime monitoring, accessibility checks and small design changes. It helps you keep the website you have already paid for in good working order.
Which platforms do you maintain?
I maintain WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, B12, Framer and other modern site builders. For custom React or Next.js builds, I scope the work case by case.
When should a business outsource website maintenance?
It is worth considering when updates are being skipped, when the team cannot remember the last backup, when pages are getting slower, when a plugin breaks a form or checkout, or when the business has outgrown the original site. If you are not sure when the site was last updated, that is a good reason to have it checked.
How often do you update the site?
Maintenance plans include weekly or biweekly scheduled updates, and I fix anything broken the same business day where I can. I apply security patches as soon as they are released and checked against your site.
Do you handle SEO and accessibility?
Yes. Technical SEO checks, meta data cleanup, redirect maps, broken link cleanup, image alt text, heading structure and accessibility fixes are part of the work. If you need a wider SEO plan or new content, we can add that to your scope.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Maintenance is part of a monthly support arrangement, and many clients combine it with related administrative or operational work. The pricing page explains how the support levels are set up, and I send a written quote after our call.
