Website Maintenance & Support

Monthly Maintenance Plans

Hands-free website management from £99/month

Your website is not a one-time project — it requires ongoing attention to stay secure, fast, and effective. Without regular maintenance, WordPress and other CMS websites quickly become vulnerable to security threats, suffer from performance degradation, and fall behind competitors. Our monthly maintenance plans take this responsibility entirely off your plate, giving you complete peace of mind for a fixed monthly fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the monthly maintenance plans?
Our plans cover CMS and plugin updates, security scanning, daily backups, uptime monitoring, database optimisation, and a monthly health report. Higher-tier plans also include content updates, priority support, and additional development time. Full plan details are available on our pricing page.
Do I need a maintenance plan if my website is fairly new?
Yes. Even brand-new websites require ongoing maintenance. Plugin and CMS updates are released frequently, new vulnerabilities are discovered regularly, and performance can degrade over time without attention. Starting a maintenance plan from day one prevents problems from developing.
What happens if my website is hacked?
Malware removal and hack cleanup is included in all our maintenance plans. If your website is ever compromised, we investigate the incident, remove the malware, patch the vulnerability, and restore your site to a clean state as quickly as possible.
Can I cancel my maintenance plan?
Yes. Our maintenance plans are monthly rolling contracts that can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. We do not lock you into lengthy contracts, though many clients stay with us for years because the ongoing value is clear.
Do you offer maintenance plans for non-WordPress websites?
Yes, we maintain websites built on Drupal, Joomla, Magento, custom PHP, and other platforms. The specific maintenance activities vary by platform. Please contact us to discuss your particular CMS and requirements.
