How much does website maintenance cost?
Basic plans start at
$99/month and cover updates, backups, uptime monitoring and security scanning. Standard plans start at
$199/month and add content updates (up to 2 hours), performance monitoring and monthly reports. Priority plans start at
$399/month with faster response times, more content hours and priority support. All plans are
month-to-month with no long-term contract required. See
full pricing.
What happens if I don't maintain my website?
An unmaintained website decays. WordPress core, plugins and themes release updates that fix security holes and bugs — skipping them leaves your site vulnerable to hacking. Backups don't exist until you create them, so a single incident can wipe your site. Performance degrades as plugins bloat and images accumulate. And contact forms, integrations and tracking break silently as third-party APIs change. Most hacked websites are compromised simply because they weren't updated.
Do you maintain sites you didn't build?
Yes. We take on maintenance for existing WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor and custom sites regularly. Before we agree, we do a short technical audit — if the underlying code is too fragile to safely maintain, we'll say so honestly and recommend a rebuild instead of charging you for maintenance on a site that will keep breaking.
How often do you run backups?
We run automated daily backups with 30-day retention on Basic plans, and daily backups with 90-day retention plus off-site storage on Standard and Priority plans. Backups are stored separately from your hosting so a hosting-level incident can't take them out. Restores are free and typically completed within 1 hour of request.
What security monitoring is included?
We monitor for file changes, malware signatures, suspicious login attempts, plugin vulnerabilities and known exploits. If a threat is detected, we're alerted immediately and act within the plan's response window — Priority plans have a 2-hour response SLA. We also enforce strong password policies, two-factor authentication on admin accounts, and restrict login attempts where applicable.
Can I request content updates as part of maintenance?
Yes. Standard plans include up to 2 hours per month of content updates (text edits, image swaps, new pages, blog posts, product updates), and Priority plans include up to 5 hours. Additional hours are billed at a fixed hourly rate. Larger content projects are scoped separately and quoted upfront.
Do you work with clients outside the United States and Europe?
Yes — we work with clients worldwide, including the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, the Middle East and Asia. All communication is async-friendly and timezone-flexible.
