Website Maintenance Packages
Care plans for websites
you actually rely on.
Most websites get launched, celebrated for a week, then quietly drift. Plugins go out of date, content stops being touched, and small problems compound into expensive ones. Our website maintenance packages keep your site current, healthy, and earning its keep, without you needing to think about it. Monthly care, transparent pricing, no surprise invoices.
What's included.
Updates & Patches
Plugin updates, framework upgrades, security patches. Stay on stable, supported versions and avoid the security gaps that come with neglect.
Uptime & Security Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of uptime, performance, and security signals. You find out about problems before your customers do, not after.
Content & Copy Updates
Hours included each month for the small stuff: copy tweaks, image swaps, new pages, opening hours changes. Anything you'd otherwise hesitate to ask for.
Reviews & Recommendations
Quarterly reviews looking at what's working, what isn't, and where the site should evolve. Maintenance, not stagnation.
Start with the business.
Build from there.
Most maintenance contracts are a black box. You pay every month, work happens somewhere out of sight, and an invoice arrives if anything goes wrong. We treat website maintenance differently: clear scope, transparent pricing, and proper visibility into what we're doing and why. Monthly hours roll, so a quiet month banks time toward a busier one. No surprise invoices for things that should be included.
Scope
We agree what's covered: updates, monitoring, hours for changes, and anything specific to your stack or business.
Settle in
First month, we get our tools onto your site, set up monitoring, run a health check, and clean up anything obvious.
Monthly cadence
Updates and patches go out on a schedule. You send change requests by email. We log what we do and where the time goes.
Quarterly review
Every three months we step back, look at what's worked and what hasn't, and talk about where the site needs to evolve.

Who this is for
Businesses with a website they actually rely on, who've been burnt by either neglect or a maintenance contract that didn't deliver. Whether it's a brochure site, a Shopify store, a WordPress build, or a custom Next.js application, if your website matters to your business it deserves to be looked after properly.
See it in practice.

Questions we get asked
Most maintenance plans cover four things: keeping the underlying technology current (plugin updates, framework upgrades, security patches), monitoring (uptime, performance, security alerts), hours for small content or design changes, and regular reviews of how the site is performing. The specifics vary by provider and by stack. A WordPress site needs different attention than a custom Next.js build. Our packages are scoped per site so you only pay for what your site actually needs.
It depends on the platform and the scope. A simple brochure site on a stable stack is typically looked after for around £75-£125 per month. A Shopify store or a WordPress site with multiple plugins usually lands between £150-£300 per month. Custom builds and higher-traffic sites are scoped individually. We'll always give you an honest quote based on what your site actually needs rather than a price designed to look attractive in a pitch deck.
If your website matters to your business, almost certainly yes. The question is whether you want to handle it yourself, ask a freelancer ad-hoc, or have it covered properly. Websites left untouched gather technical debt: outdated plugins, security holes, broken integrations, content that no longer reflects the business. A maintenance plan is the cheap option compared to fixing those problems after the fact.
That's fine. Most of the websites we maintain we didn't build. We start with a short audit to understand how your site is put together, what stack it's on, and where the weak spots are. From there we can usually take over within a couple of weeks. The exception is sites built on closed-platform builders we can't get under the bonnet of. We'd flag that early rather than charge you for a maintenance contract we can't properly deliver.
Yes. WordPress is one of the platforms we maintain most often, and it needs more active attention than most: themes, plugins, and the core all update on different schedules, and they don't always play nicely together. WordPress maintenance is part of our standard packages where applicable. We also maintain Shopify stores, custom Next.js sites, and a handful of other platforms.
We monitor uptime continuously, so we know about a downtime event when it happens, not when you do. The response depends on the cause: a hosting issue gets escalated to your host, a code-level issue we'll handle ourselves. For most maintenance clients, the realistic worst case is a few hours of overnight downtime followed by a fix in the morning, not the website disappearing for a week.
Think of hosting as the building your website runs in. Maintenance is the upkeep on the website itself. Some hosting plans bundle in basic maintenance (security patches, backups). Most don't, and even when they do, they don't cover the code, plugins, or content of your actual site. Website maintenance picks up where hosting ends.
