Your website, looked after all year round
Like a well-tended tree, a great website needs ongoing care. We handle the updates, backups, security and little tweaks — so your site keeps performing while you get on with business.
What care covers
A launched website isn't finished — it's alive. Software needs updating, security threats change and small details go out of date. Without regular website maintenance, even a great site slowly gets slower, less secure and less useful to your customers.
Our website care and maintenance plans take all of that off your plate. We look after your hosting, security, updates and backups, and make the small changes you need, like new prices, photos or pages. Your website stays fast, safe and up to date while you get on with running your business.
Care plans are available for every website we build, and pay-monthly options bundle hosting and care into one predictable bill. Here's what's covered.

Security & backups
Automatic off-site backups and active security monitoring, so a bad day never turns into a lost website. If anything goes wrong, we can restore your site quickly from a recent backup.
Updates & fixes
We keep everything current and squash any bugs or broken links before your visitors ever notice them. Regular software and security updates keep your website stable, safe and compatible with the latest browsers.
Monitoring & uptime
We watch your site around the clock. If something goes down, we're often on it before you've even heard. We also keep an eye on load times, so your site stays as fast as the day it launched.
How we keep your site healthy
Care isn't glamorous, but it's what keeps a site fast, safe and trustworthy month after month. Here's what we do behind the scenes.
Regular updates
We keep your site's software, plugins and dependencies up to date — closing security holes and keeping everything running smoothly.
Automatic backups
Your whole site is backed up on a schedule and stored safely off-site, so it can be restored quickly if it's ever needed.
Security monitoring
We watch for malware, suspicious activity and vulnerabilities, and act fast to keep your site — and your visitors — protected.
Performance checks
We keep an eye on load times and fix anything that starts to drag, so your site stays as fast as the day it launched.
Content edits & support
Need a price changed, a photo swapped or a new page added? Send it over and we'll handle it — no wrestling with the site yourself.
Clear monthly reports
You get a plain-English summary of what we did, how the site's performing, and anything worth knowing — no jargon, no surprises.
Website care & maintenance FAQs
What is website maintenance and why do I need it?
Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site secure, fast and up to date: software updates, security checks, backups, performance tuning and content changes. Without it, websites gradually slow down, break or become vulnerable to hackers, which costs you enquiries and trust.
What's included in a website care plan?
Our care plans cover hosting, security monitoring, software updates, regular off-site backups, performance checks and small content changes such as new prices, photos or pages. You also get a plain-English monthly report showing what we did and how your site is performing.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Care is available on all our websites, and our pay-monthly options bundle hosting and care into one fixed monthly cost, so there are no surprise bills. See our web design packages or use the price calculator on our home page for a quick guide price.
How often should a website be updated?
Software and security updates should be applied as soon as they're released, and backups should run automatically on a regular schedule. Your content, such as prices, services and photos, should be reviewed every few months so it always reflects your business today.
What happens if my website goes down or gets hacked?
We monitor your site around the clock, so we're often aware of a problem before you are. Because your site is backed up off-site, we can restore a clean, working version quickly and fix whatever caused the issue.
Is website hosting included in a care plan?
Yes. Our care plans include fast, secure hosting, so your website, updates, backups and support are all handled in one place by the team that built it.
Do I need a care plan for a brand-new website?
Yes. A new website is at its best on launch day, and a care plan keeps it that way. Updates, security patches and backups matter from day one, and having us on hand makes it easy to keep your content fresh as your business grows.
