What website care does for you every month
How sites decay quietly, what a typical month of care covers, and how it compares with paying a developer by the hour.
Read the video transcript
Websites decay quietly. A plugin falls behind. A form stops sending. A certificate lapses. Nobody notices.
Owners usually come to us after one of these. The developer stopped replying, so you get one named contact. Backups were never restored, so we test them. Edits were billed hourly, so small ones are included. Updates broke the layout, so we test updates first.
A typical month is quiet. We watch uptime daily, test updates each week, make your small edits on request, and send a short report at month end.
Scope stays clear. New pages, new features and repairs to hacked sites are quoted first. Updates, backups, monitoring and small edits are in the plan.
Doing it yourself costs your time. An hourly developer costs most when things break. Website Care is fixed, with updates tested first.
Care starts from £49 a month. Plus is £79 with UK hosting for WordPress. Pro is £149 for shops. No VAT to add.

The basics
What are website maintenance services?
What the work involves, and why it matters more than most owners expect.
Website maintenance services keep a live website working after launch: updating its software, backing it up, watching for attacks and downtime, and making the small content changes a business needs every month. Website Care is our monthly plan for exactly that.
Most problems on small business sites are not dramatic. A plugin falls behind and opens a security hole, an enquiry form quietly stops sending, a certificate lapses and browsers warn visitors away, or last year's prices are still online. Each one costs enquiries before anyone notices. Regular care catches them early, and gives you one person to message when something on the site needs to change. If you are planning a new build, our website design projects can include Website Care from launch day.

What you get
What Website Care includes
The routine work, done on a schedule and reported in plain English.
Good to know
What is not included, so nothing surprises you
We would rather be clear now than send an unexpected invoice later.
Website Care is a maintenance plan, not an unlimited design service. Plans advertised as "unlimited changes" usually mean a queue, and the work slows down when you need it most. We keep the scope clear so the routine work is always done on time.
Quoted in writing first
- New pages, sections or page layouts
- New features such as bookings, shops or calculators
- Rebuilding a site that is badly broken or already hacked
- Writing new content or ongoing SEO work
- Paid third-party licences, apps or premium plugins
Where it fits instead
- Bigger changesNew pages, layouts and features, quoted as a project or a website redesign.
- Search growthNew content and ongoing SEO sit within our SEO plans.
- Hacked or broken sitesRepairs are quoted first, so you’ll know the price before any work starts.
Why it matters
Why do I need website maintenance?
Five reasons small business websites stop working for their owners.
Websites decay quietly. Software that was secure at launch gets new vulnerabilities, browsers and phones change, and the details on the site drift away from how the business works today. None of it shows on the homepage until an enquiry goes missing. Our free website and AI visibility audit shows where your site stands today.
Out-of-date plugins are one of the most common ways small WordPress sites are broken into.
Forms and email settings fail silently, so messages vanish without anyone knowing.
An expired certificate or an old price list makes visitors doubt the whole business.
Bloated images and stale plugins slow pages down, and slow pages lose visitors and rankings.
Broken links, missing schema and outdated details weaken how Google and AI assistants read you. Our technical SEO work fixes the deeper issues.
Problems we fix
The maintenance problems we hear about every week
Most owners come to us after one of these.
One senior point of contact, replying within one working day.
Hosting, domain and admin access registered to your business.
Restore tests from Care Plus, so a backup is something you can actually use.
Small edits included in the monthly price.
Updates tested before they go live, and checked on a staging copy first with Care Pro.
Platforms
Maintenance for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Shopify
The work changes with the platform, so the plan does too.
WordPress needs the most care, because you are responsible for hosting, updates and security. Website Care for WordPress includes UK hosting, so there is one bill and one person accountable.
Wix, Squarespace and Shopify host and patch the platform for you, so care focuses on what they leave to the owner: content, apps, forms, redirects and search settings. See how we build on Wix, Squarespace and Shopify.

- Access stays in your nameHosting, domain and admin access stay registered to your business, so nothing’s locked to us.
- Repairs quoted firstIf the site needs fixing before care can start, such as a hacked site or an abandoned theme, we’ll quote that separately.
- Routine care startsUpdates, backups, monitoring and small edits run on the schedule below, and you’ll get a short report at month end.

Before you sign
How to choose a website maintenance provider
What website care costs elsewhere in the UK, and the warning signs that mean you should walk away. Prices are from our check of 19 UK providers that publish them, on . They’re before any VAT those providers add. For hosting, domains and the other running costs, read our UK website cost guide.
| Option | Typical monthly price | Ask before you sign |
|---|---|---|
| Doing it yourself | Your time | Who’ll restore the site if an update breaks it? |
| Budget provider | £30 to £56 a month | Are updates tested first, and has anyone ever restored a backup? |
| Middle of the market | £75 to £130 a month | How much edit time do you get, and how fast is it done? |
| Agency end | £167 to £375 a month | Who’ll you actually speak to when something breaks? |
| Renozer | £49 to £149 a month, fixed | Three-month minimum, then 30 days’ notice |
Red flags
Walk away if you see these
Three of them come straight from WordPress’s own documentation. If your site’s already broken or hacked, we’ll quote the repair before any plan starts.
- Updates clicked straight on your live site with no backup. WordPress’s own guide says that before you update, it’s a good idea to back up your website.
- Backups nobody’s ever restored. WordPress recommends regular whole database backups which you have tested are valid and that can be easily restored.
- Old software left running. WordPress says older versions of WordPress are not maintained with security updates.
- Hosting or your domain registered in the provider’s name. Both should be in yours, so you can move whenever you’d like.
- “Unlimited changes” with no turnaround time. Ask how long a small edit takes, and get the answer in writing.
- A long contract with an exit fee before you’ve seen a single monthly report.
Website Care or paying a developer by the hour?
Both can work. This is how they compare for a typical small business site.
| Doing it yourself | Developer by the hour | Website Care | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Your time | Low in quiet months, high when things break | From £49, fixed |
| Updates tested first | Rarely | Depends on the developer | Yes, on a staging copy with Care Pro |
| Backups checked | Rarely | Sometimes | Restore tests from Care Plus |
| Small edits | You do them | Billed each time | Included |
| Who is accountable | You | Whoever is available | One named specialist |
Younus has looked after small business websites since 2019 and still reads every monthly report before it is sent. If a site needs more than care, he will say so plainly.

Client reviews
What clients say when something needed fixing
Copied word for word from Younus’s Upwork profile, where only a client with a closed contract can leave a review.
“This is the second website Muhammad has created for me, this time for my main photography and videography business. I gave him very little brief and he has produced a fantastic website, transferring extensive content from my previous one. The new site looks great, is fast, SEO optimised and easy to navigate. Muhammad was responsive with changes and helpful with instructions on how to make changes to the site myself. Highly recommended - will be working with him again”Read the full review
