Website Maintenance
Sites decay. Dependencies age into vulnerabilities, content goes stale, and small performance regressions accumulate until the site is measurably slower than it was at launch.

THE PROBLEMS THIS WORK EXISTS TO FIX.
- 01
Security patches are not applied
Known vulnerabilities in outdated dependencies are the most common route to a compromised site.
- 02
Nobody notices when it goes down
Without monitoring, outages are usually reported by a customer, which is the expensive way to find out.
- 03
Backups exist but have never been tested
An untested backup is a hope. Restores get verified or they do not count.
- 04
Performance drifts
Added images, scripts, and integrations quietly erode the speed the site launched with.
Keeping the site fast, current, and secure after launch.
What maintenance covers
Dependency and platform updates applied on a schedule and tested before they reach production. Uptime and error monitoring with alerting. Off-site backups with periodic restore tests. Security headers reviewed as the site changes.
Content updates within an agreed allowance, so routine changes do not need a separate conversation each time.
Continuous improvement, not just upkeep
Maintenance is also the window for incremental work: fixing the page that underperforms, tightening a form that people abandon, improving a slow template.
Small, regular improvements compound in a way that periodic redesigns do not.
Reporting you can act on
What changed, what broke, what was fixed, and what the numbers did. Reporting that requires interpretation by the person who wrote it is not reporting.
THE PROCESS.
- 01
Baseline
Current performance, dependency state, and security posture recorded.
- 02
Monitor
Uptime, errors, and Core Web Vitals tracked continuously.
- 03
Maintain
Scheduled updates, backups, and restore verification.
- 04
Improve
Agreed incremental work each cycle.
- 05
Report
Plain reporting on changes and results.
FAQ
Is maintenance required?
It is not mandatory, but an unmaintained site becomes a security and performance problem over time. It is an optional line item in the configurator.
What is not covered?
New pages, new features, and redesign work are scoped separately. Routine content edits within the agreed allowance are covered.
Do you maintain sites you did not build?
Sometimes. It depends on the platform and the state of the codebase, so it needs a look first.
How are backups handled?
Off-site, on a schedule appropriate to how often the site changes, with periodic restore testing.
