Website maintenance services, so you don’t have to
Updates, edits, monitoring and small changes handled monthly — the jobs that never quite reach the top of anyone’s list.
What do website maintenance services include?
Website maintenance keeps a site secure, working and up to date after launch: software and plugin updates (tested first), security monitoring, backups you can restore, uptime checks, fixing broken forms and links, and the small content edits that pile up. It is the monthly upkeep that stops a site decaying quietly.
Most business sites decay quietly: plugins go stale, a form breaks, a page goes out of date, and nobody notices until a customer does. This is the retainer that stops that happening, run by the team that can also fix it properly when something is genuinely wrong.
Businesses without an in-house web person, and marketing teams who would rather spend their time on campaigns than on WordPress.
What Website Management covers.
Content edits and small changes
A monthly allowance of work — copy, pages, images, fixes — with no per-job haggling.
Updates, tested first
Core, theme and plugin updates applied on staging and rolled back if anything moves.
Uptime and error monitoring
We hear about it before your customers do.
Backups you can actually restore
Daily, off-site, and tested rather than assumed.
A monthly note
What changed, what we noticed, and what is worth doing next.

How much does website maintenance cost in the UK?
Typical UK plans run from under £50 to several hundred pounds a month depending on what's included. Ours start at £89 a month, covering updates, monitoring, backups and small edits each month.
Do you maintain websites you didn't build?
Yes. We start with a health check of the site, its hosting and its plugins, fix anything risky, then take it on monthly.
Which platforms do you look after?
WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom sites built in frameworks like Next.js and Laravel.
What happens if the site goes down?
Monitoring alerts us, and we investigate and fix it. Larger problems beyond the plan are quoted before we start, and backups mean we can always roll back.
Are content changes included?
Yes, small edits such as text, images, prices and new team members are included each month. Larger changes like new pages or features are quoted separately.
Is there a contract?
Plans run month to month with 30 days' notice. You keep full access to your site, hosting and domain throughout.
