You didn't start a business to babysit a website.

One less thing you have to run.

You pay one price a month for hosting, security, backups, edits and speed checks. If the site goes down or an update breaks something, the fix costs you nothing extra. We answer every message within 2 working hours.

The monthly checklistRuns every month
  • Hosting and uptime

    The site runs on our hosting account, and we monitor it 24/7. The alert comes to us the moment it goes down, and the SSL certificate renews before it expires.

  • Security and updates

    Every update gets tested on a copy of the site, on phones and browsers, before it goes on the live one.

  • Backups

    Backups are for the day the orders vanish or somebody deletes a page. Each one gets put back on a test site first, to be sure it comes back whole.

  • Edits and changes

    Email us whatever you can't change from the admin panel yourself. If it's quick, you'll see it on the site the same working day. If it takes longer, we tell you by the end of the day when it'll be ready and what it'll cost.

  • Page speed

    We test the site's speed on Google PageSpeed against a target of 90 or above. Premium fixes any page that drops below 90. On the other plans, the fix comes out of your edit hours.

Nothing gets tried out on the live site.

Website maintenance gets the site back online the same day.

We've seen hosting lapse, an update go bad and someone go looking for a way in. You get a backup we've already tested and an answer within 2 working hours.

  • “The last update broke something.”

    We run every update on a copy of the site first and click through the forms, the checkout, the booking. If something still slips through on the live site, we put the previous version back within the hour and fix it on the copy.

  • “I don't know what's been done to my site.”

    We write down every change with a date on it: what we updated, what we fixed, what we found and left alone. From Standard up we send it monthly, with your page speed and search rankings beside it. You can see which change moved which number.

  • “Getting an answer takes days.”

    You message us and we answer within 2 working hours, whichever way you send it. Urgent means the site is down or a form stopped sending, and that goes to the front of the line.

  • “I'm worried about getting hacked.”

    We scan the site for known holes, renew the SSL certificate before it lapses, and keep logins to the people who need them. If someone does get in, we put back the backup from before it happened and close off the way they came in, the same day.

What our website maintenance services cost and how they work.

Because Chrome, Safari and iOS keep changing how they read code. A menu or a form that worked at launch can break on the next version that ships. We test the site on current browsers and phones every month and check where it ranks in search.

Website maintenance services run from €49 to €349 a month. Essential covers hosting, security, backups and an hour of changes. The bigger plans add hours for changes and a monthly report, and Premium adds SEO and conversion work on pages with traffic but few leads.

The report names it. The last line of each one says what the first job is next month, before the month starts. It comes off the numbers: the page losing the most people, the one search sends nobody to, the one that got slow. Tell us what is coming and that goes first instead: the busy season, the new service, the promotion you have planned.

Every request is read and costed the same working day, before there is any question of paying for it. Small changes are live by the end of that day. The bigger ones come back with a date and a number, and the build starts once that number gets a yes.

Search rewards consistency, so it takes a few months. You'll usually see the first movement in 60 to 90 days, and the meaningful gains from three to six months on. Nobody can promise you the top spot on Google, and we won't.
