Why Your Website Needs Ongoing Maintenance

A website is never finished. Without regular care it slowly becomes slower, less secure and less reliable.

Updates break things quietly

CMS, plugin and theme updates close security holes, but they can also conflict with each other or reset your settings. Updates applied blindly, or not applied at all, are one of the most common reasons why small business websites break or get hacked.

Speed wears off

A fast website rarely stays fast. New plugins, heavy images and a growing database add up, and a few months later the same website is slow again, costing you visitors and search rankings.

Problems stay invisible

Malware, a broken contact form, analytics that stopped counting or a website that went down at night are often noticed by your customers first. Monitoring finds them before they cost you leads and sales.

What Is Included in the Website Care Plan

Everything a business website needs to stay fast, secure and up to date, handled by one team for one monthly price.

4 Hours of Developer Time

Content changes, new sections, design tweaks and fixes, whatever your website needs. Unused hours roll over to the next month, up to 8 hours.

Managed Updates

We update your CMS core, plugins and theme. Every update is tested and backed up before it goes live, so nothing reaches your website unchecked.

Weekly Backups

Full backups of your files and database every week, kept for 30 days. If something goes wrong, we restore your website on request.

24/7 Uptime Monitoring

Your website is checked around the clock. If it goes down, we know before your customers do.

Website Firewall

Our website firewall blocks malicious requests, bad bots and brute force attacks before they reach your website.

Malware Scanning and Removal

Regular malware scans of your website. If anything is found, we clean it at no extra cost. Malware removal is our core business.

Monthly Performance Report

Page speed and Core Web Vitals measured every month, so you can see your website stay fast and we can spot problems early.

Database Maintenance

A monthly cleanup of old revisions, expired data and overhead, so the clutter does not build up again and slow your website down.

Image Optimization

Keep uploading images as usual. Every month we check new uploads and compress them, so heavy files do not slow your pages again.

Analytics and Conversion Tracking Checks

We check every month that your analytics and ad conversion tracking still work, so your marketing decisions are based on real numbers.

Priority Support

Your questions and requests get priority, with a written response within one business day.

Quarterly Review

Every three months you get a short written review: what is working, what we changed and what we recommend next.

4 Hours of Developer Time Every Month

Website Care is more than monitoring. Every month you get 4 hours of our developers' time to spend on your website, so small changes get done instead of piling up.

Update text, images, prices and contact details
Add a new page, section or landing page block
Fix layout issues on mobile and desktop
Install, configure or replace a plugin or extension
Fix contact forms and email notifications
Improve page speed and Core Web Vitals

Unused hours roll over to the next month, up to 8 hours. Larger projects, such as a redesign or a new feature, are quoted separately and only start after your approval.

Website Care Plan FAQ

Common questions about our monthly website maintenance plan

What is a website care plan?

A website care plan is a monthly service in which a professional team maintains your website for you: software updates, backups, security, uptime monitoring, speed checks and small changes. Instead of paying for each fix after something breaks, you pay one fixed monthly price, and most problems are prevented or caught early.

Which websites do you support?

We maintain websites built on WordPress, including WooCommerce stores, Joomla, Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop and Drupal. Custom PHP websites are welcome too. Please contact us first so we can confirm the scope.

What can I use the 4 developer hours for?

Anything that improves your website: content and image updates, new pages or sections, design tweaks, plugin changes, form fixes and speed improvements. If a request needs more time than you have available, we tell you before we start and quote the rest.

What happens to unused hours?

Unused hours roll over to the next month, up to a maximum of 8 hours, so a quiet month is not wasted.

What if my website gets hacked?

Malware removal is our core business, and it is included in Website Care at no extra cost. Your website is protected by our firewall and scanned for malware regularly. If anything gets through, we clean it and close the hole that let it in.

Do you need access to my website?

Yes. To update and protect your website we need access to its admin panel and to your hosting or FTP account. You share it through our secure access form, never by plain email. If you stop the plan, we remove our access and tools from your website.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. There is no contract, no notice period and no cancellation fee. You can cancel your subscription at any time, and all the work done on your website stays yours.

Is hosting included?

No. Website Care works with your current hosting provider. If you would like to move to a fast and secure hosting plan, take a look at our secure web hosting.

How fast do you respond?

Website Care includes priority support with a written response within one business day. Downtime and malware alerts from our monitoring reach us right away, and we treat them as a priority.

What is not included?

Website redesign, new features that need more than your monthly hours, copywriting, third-party license and subscription costs, hosting and SEO campaigns. We can quote any of these separately.
