Website Maintenance & Support

Scheduled updates, backups, monitoring and agreed response times for your website.

What we help you achieve

A website needs attention after launch as software, content and business requirements change. We review the existing site before agreeing a maintenance service, identifying its dependencies and the access needed to look after it. The service sets out routine tasks, monitoring and how issues or change requests are handled.

Who this service is for

For businesses that need an accountable maintenance contact, teams taking over an existing website and organisations reviewing the reliability of their current support arrangement.

What your project can include

Your proposal confirms the deliverables selected for your project.

  • An onboarding review of the website, hosting, dependencies and available access.
  • An agreed update schedule and a process for testing relevant changes.
  • Backup, recovery and monitoring arrangements for the systems in scope.
  • A support agreement covering request channels, priorities, coverage hours and exclusions.

Scope, timing and budget

The website's condition, platform, custom code and third-party dependencies affect onboarding and ongoing effort. Existing faults may require an initial remediation project. Hosting, licence renewals, new features and emergency out-of-hours work are included only when specified. Response targets are distinct from guaranteed resolution times.

Example engagement

How a project like this can run

A business website could use a maintenance plan that reviews updates in staging, checks enquiry forms after release and documents how to restore the agreed backup if a change fails.

Illustrative scope, not a reported client result. Your project is defined after discovery.

Questions about this service

Can you maintain a website built by another provider?

We begin with a technical and access review. Support depends on the platform, code condition, licensing and documentation; any onboarding repairs or unsupported components are identified before an ongoing agreement.

Are content edits and new features included?

The plan states any included editing allowance and the types of changes covered. Larger design changes, integrations or new features are scoped separately so routine maintenance remains predictable.
