Website Maintenance
A website is not finished when it goes live.
A website that is not maintained drifts. Dependencies fall out of date, security vulnerabilities go unpatched, content becomes stale, performance degrades as the web moves forward. A site that was excellent at launch can become a liability within a year without any deliberate maintenance.
Maintenance is not glamorous, but it is what keeps a website working reliably, appearing correctly in search results, loading at the speed users expect, and not getting compromised. For most businesses, the cost of reactive fixes after something breaks significantly exceeds the cost of regular maintenance.
What is included
- Dependency and framework updates applied and tested
- Security monitoring and patch management
- Performance monitoring against Core Web Vitals baselines
- Content updates: text changes, image swaps, new pages
- Uptime monitoring with alerts
- Regular backups with tested restore capability
- Monthly report on site health and any issues resolved
How it works
Baseline
The site is documented and current state is recorded: dependencies, performance scores, any existing issues.
Monthly updates
Dependencies are updated on a regular cycle, tested in a staging environment before deployment.
Content changes
Content update requests are handled within the agreed turnaround time.
Monitoring
Automated uptime and performance monitoring runs continuously with alerts on degradation.
Reporting
Monthly summary of what was done, any issues encountered, and current site health.
Why it matters
The alternative to maintenance is reactive fixes, and reactive fixes are always more expensive than preventive ones. A site that breaks at the worst possible moment - during a busy period, when the developer who built it is unavailable - is a real business problem. Regular maintenance is insurance against that.
What you get
- Security vulnerabilities patched before they can be exploited
- Performance maintained as browsers and frameworks evolve
- Content kept current without needing to find a developer each time
- Peace of mind that the site is being looked after
