What website maintenance includes
Maintenance is the quiet work that keeps a site healthy: hosting it, keeping its software current, backing it up, watching that it's up and quick, and making the changes a business needs as it changes. It's the difference between a site that looks after itself and one that slowly falls apart.
Hosting: where the site lives
Hosting is the computer your website runs on. Cheap shared hosting is where slow, insecure sites come from. We host on infrastructure built for the way our sites are made, with a global network in front so pages load quickly wherever your customers are, and we handle the certificates, domains and settings.
Security and backups
Websites get attacked constantly, mostly by automated scripts looking for out-of-date software. Keeping everything current, setting security headers, encrypting every page and watching for alerts closes most of that door. Daily tested backups close the rest: if anything ever goes wrong, the site comes back in minutes.

Changes, and knowing what's working
The most useful part of maintenance is the simplest: you email a change and it's done. New photos, a new service, a price, a team member, a seasonal notice. And each month you get one plain report on what changed and what the site brought in, so you know it's earning its keep.
If you'd rather make small changes yourself, you can, and we're there for the rest.
