Overview

A Website Is Never Finished

Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site secure, working and fast after launch: installing updates, watching for security problems, taking backups, fixing what breaks and making the small changes a business needs every month.

Skipping it is how most small business websites get into trouble. An out-of-date plugin becomes the way in for malware, a failed update takes the contact form offline without anyone noticing, or the site slows down until Google and visitors give up on it.

We build and run websites ourselves, including our own products, so we maintain client sites the same way: a routine that catches problems early, and a real person in Manchester to contact when something needs doing.

What we build

What Website Maintenance Includes

Core, theme and plugin updates

Updates tested and applied safely, with a backup taken first so any problem can be rolled back.

Security monitoring

Malware scanning, login protection and prompt action if something suspicious appears.

Backups

Regular off-site backups of files and database, so the site can be restored quickly.

Uptime monitoring

Checks that alert us when the site goes down, often before you or your customers notice.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

Image optimisation, caching and fixes that keep pages loading quickly on mobile.

Content updates

Text, images, prices, team members and new pages changed for you on request.

Forms and email checks

Contact and checkout forms tested so enquiries and orders keep arriving.

SSL, domain and hosting

Certificates, DNS and hosting kept in order, including the renewals that are easy to miss.

Choosing a maintenance partner

What Good Website Maintenance Looks Like

Updates are tested, not just clicked. Installing every available update at once is how sites break. Good maintenance takes a backup, applies updates in a sensible order and checks the pages and forms that matter afterwards.

Backups are only useful if they restore. Backups should be stored away from your hosting, kept for long enough to go back before a problem started, and tested from time to time.

You still own everything. Your domain, hosting account and website should be in your name, with access shared with whoever maintains it, so you are never locked in.

Maintenance protects your search rankings. Downtime, malware warnings and slow pages all damage how Google treats a site. Keeping the site healthy protects the work that has gone into its SEO.

We maintain sites we have built and sites built by others. If your site needs more than maintenance, see our web development, WordPress and Shopify services, or SEO services to grow its traffic.

Questions

Frequently Asked

What does website maintenance include?

Website maintenance usually includes software updates, security monitoring, backups, uptime monitoring, speed checks, fixing problems and making content changes. The exact scope is agreed before we start.

How often should a website be updated?

Security updates should be applied promptly, and a site should be checked at least monthly. Busy WordPress and WooCommerce sites with many plugins benefit from more frequent checks.

Do you maintain websites you did not build?

Yes. We start with a health check so we understand how the site was built and fix any urgent issues before taking over routine maintenance.

Do you maintain WordPress and Shopify websites?

Yes. We maintain WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom-built websites. Shopify handles its own hosting and core updates, so maintenance there focuses on apps, themes, speed and content.

What happens if my website gets hacked?

We restore the site from a clean backup where possible, remove the malware, close the weakness that let it in and request removal of any Google warnings.

Where are you based?

We are based at 174 Wilmslow Road in Manchester and maintain websites for businesses across the UK.
