Our website care plan starts from AED 400 per month ($110 or ₹9,000). It covers updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security checks and malware clean-up, a fixed number of content changes, a speed and SEO health check, and priority WhatsApp support. Scope is confirmed in your written quote.

What is website maintenance and why does it matter?

Website maintenance is the regular work that keeps a live site secure, fast, accurate and available: applying updates, taking and testing backups, watching for downtime, fixing errors and making small content changes.

Sites fail quietly. A plugin falls out of date and a bot finds the weakness. An SSL certificate expires and visitors see a warning. A form stops sending emails and nobody notices for weeks. A page gets slower after new images are added. None of these show up on a dashboard unless somebody is looking.

Maintenance matters for three practical reasons. First, security: outdated software is a common route for attacks. Second, search: broken pages, slow loading and downtime hurt both visitors and crawling. Third, trust: an outdated address or a broken contact form costs enquiries you never see.

Small brochure sites built as static HTML need far less maintenance than sites running a CMS and many plugins, which is one reason we choose the simplest stack that does the job. Whichever you have, regular checking is cheaper than emergency repair.

Website security and backups: what actually protects you

Good security is mostly routine: keep software current, limit access, back up often and watch for changes.

  • Updates first. Most attacks target known weaknesses in old software, so updates matter more than clever tools.
  • Strong access control. Unique passwords, two-step login where the platform offers it, and removal of users who no longer need access.
  • Backups stored elsewhere. A backup kept only on the same server can be lost with it. Copies should live off-server, and a restore should be tested.
  • HTTPS everywhere. A valid SSL certificate, with HTTP redirected to HTTPS.
  • Least privilege. Staff get only the permissions they need, so one stolen login does less harm.
  • A clean-up plan. If the site is hacked, you need someone who can find the entry point, remove malware and restore from a clean backup.

How a care plan starts

  1. Site review

    We look at your platform, hosting, plugins, backups and current problems, and tell you what needs fixing first.

  2. Written scope

    You receive a quote that lists what is covered, the monthly content change allowance and any one-off fixes.

  3. Set-up

    We add monitoring, backups and a security baseline, and connect Search Console if it is missing.

  4. Monthly care

    Updates, checks and your requested changes are done each month, with a short summary of what was done.

  5. Review

    From time to time we review whether the plan still fits, and suggest hosting changes or speed work where needed.

Website maintenance questions answered

How much does website maintenance cost per month?

Our website care plan starts from AED 400 per month in the UAE, $110 in the US and ₹9,000 in India. The price depends on the platform, the complexity of the site and how many changes you need. You get the scope in a written quote. See pricing.

What does website maintenance include?

Updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security checks and malware clean-up, a fixed number of content changes, a speed and SEO health check and priority WhatsApp support. New features and redesigns are quoted separately.

Do I need website maintenance if my site is static?

Less than a CMS site, but not none. Domains, SSL certificates, hosting and forms still need watching, and content changes continue. Static sites often need a lighter plan.

How often should a website be backed up?

For a site that changes weekly or sells online, daily backups are a sensible starting point. Quiet brochure sites may be fine with less. Backups should be stored away from the main server, and a restore should be tested every so often.

Can you maintain a website you did not build?

Usually, yes. We review it first, check the platform, hosting and code quality and tell you what needs fixing before a care plan makes sense. Some old or heavily customised sites may need clean-up work first, which is quoted separately.

What happens if my website is hacked?

We find the entry point, remove malware, restore from a clean backup where needed, change credentials and close the weakness. Care plan clients get priority attention. We cannot promise a site will never be compromised, but regular updates lower the risk.

Do you monitor uptime?

Yes. Automated checks alert us if the site stops responding so we can investigate. Specific response times are not fixed in this page, and any service levels are stated in your written quote.

Does maintenance help my SEO?

Indirectly, yes. Fixing broken links, keeping pages fast, watching Search Console and keeping content current all support rankings. It does not replace SEO work. See SEO services if growth is the goal.

Can I cancel a care plan?

Terms such as notice periods are stated in your written quote. Ask us on the scoping call if you need a specific arrangement.

Does the plan include hosting?

Hosting is billed by the hosting provider, and our care plan covers the work on top of it. We can also set up and manage your hosting. See infrastructure and hosting.
