Services / Maintenance
Your site stays up and current, without you thinking about it.
Websites do not fail loudly. A certificate expires, a form stops sending, prices go stale, and you hear about it weeks later from a customer. A care plan is the arrangement where that stops being your problem.
/ What’s included
Everything below is part of the work, not an upsell.
Hosting included
No separate hosting bill, no control panel and no renewal to forget.
Weekly backups
A full copy taken every week and kept off the server, so a bad day is a restore.
Security and SSL monitoring
The padlock stays valid and dependencies stay patched.
Content updates
New prices, photos, hours or services changed inside your monthly hours.
Uptime monitoring
The site is checked automatically around the clock, so we hear about downtime first.
Speed kept honest
We watch the page weight as photos and scripts pile up, and pull it back.
A monthly report
What changed, what was updated and, on the higher plans, where you rank.
Someone to ask
A direct line for the small questions that are not worth a support ticket.
/ Who it’s for
- 01
Your site is live and unattended
which is the normal state of most small business websites, right up until it is not.
- 02
It broke once already
and you would rather not repeat the week that followed it.
- 03
You do not want to touch it
and would far rather send a message than log into anything.
- 04
Your prices or team change often
and the website is permanently about three months behind reality.
/ Pricing
What it costs.

/ Questions about maintenance
01What counts as a content update?
Text, images, prices, opening hours, staff, adding or removing a service, swapping a PDF. The monthly hours cover changes to what is already there. A new page layout, a new feature or a redesign is project work and gets quoted separately, and we tell you which one it is before doing it rather than after.
02What are your support hours?
Weekdays, with a same-day reply on Business Care and above. We do not offer overnight or round-the-clock cover, and we would rather set a promise we keep than one that reads better in a brochure. Uptime monitoring runs continuously regardless, so an outage is caught whatever the hour.
03Do we have to take a care plan?
No. It is optional on every package. Without one you arrange your own hosting and handle updates yourself or pay hourly when something needs doing. Plenty of clients do exactly that and it works out fine.
04Can we cancel?
Any time, with 30 days notice. You own the site, so cancelling means taking your files and your domain and either self-hosting or moving to somebody else. There is no lock-in and nothing is built in a proprietary system designed to make leaving painful.
05Do you look after sites you did not build?
Often, yes, but not always, because it depends on how and what it was built with. Send us the address and you get an honest answer about whether we can look after it properly. If we cannot, we say so rather than take the money and hope.
