Every website has different maintenance needs based on its complexity, technology stack, and business criticality:
- Technology Platform: WordPress sites require regular core, plugin, and theme updates. Custom web applications have different maintenance patterns
- Security Requirements: E-commerce sites handling customer payments and data require more rigorous security monitoring and PCI compliance checks
- Content Volume: Sites with frequent content updates, blog publications, or product catalog changes need more hands-on management
- Performance Needs: High-traffic sites require ongoing performance optimization and capacity planning
- Support Level: Emergency response SLAs, after-hours support, and dedicated account management affect the support structure
All new website and custom development projects include 1 year of free maintenance covering security patching, performance monitoring, bug fixes, and compatibility updates. After the first year, we offer flexible ongoing plans tailored to your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is included in your maintenance plans?
Our plans typically include 24/7 uptime monitoring, daily off-site backups, weekly security and plugin updates, performance optimization, and a set block of hours for minor content updates or bug fixes.
2. What does the 1-year free maintenance cover for new projects?
When we build a new website or custom software, we include 1 year of free maintenance. This covers all security patching, server monitoring, bug fixes related to our code, and ensuring compatibility with new browser and OS versions.
3. Do you maintain websites or apps built by other agencies?
Yes. We start with a comprehensive technical audit of your existing codebase to understand the architecture, identify any critical security vulnerabilities, and ensure we can safely take over maintenance.
4. What happens if my site goes down?
With our uptime monitoring, we are notified the moment your site goes offline. Depending on your service level agreement, our team will begin investigating and resolving the issue immediately, even outside of normal business hours.
5. Can I use maintenance hours for new features?
If your plan includes dedicated support hours, you can use them for content updates, design tweaks, or developing minor new features. Larger feature projects are scoped separately.
6. How quickly do you respond to support requests?
Response times depend on your support tier. Standard response is within 24 hours. For critical emergencies (like a downed server), our premium response guarantees support within 1-2 hours.
7. Are backups kept secure?
Absolutely. We perform automated daily backups (files and database) and store them securely in an off-site, encrypted cloud environment to ensure your data is always safe and recoverable.
8. Do you monitor for security threats proactively?
Yes. We maintain 24/7 security monitoring including malware scanning, intrusion detection, firewall management, and login attempt monitoring. We respond immediately to any detected threats.
9. Can you handle content updates and blog posts?
Yes. Content updates are a core part of our maintenance service. We can update pages, publish blog posts, add new products, modify images, and make design tweaks as part of your ongoing plan.
10. What happens at the end of the 1-year free maintenance period?
We will discuss your options before the free period ends. You can choose to continue with a paid maintenance plan tailored to your needs, pause maintenance (you retain the ability to reach out for individual issues), or self-manage.
