❓ People Also Ask
Can I do website maintenance myself?
Yes, technically you can — but it requires learning how to identify security threats, safely update software, optimize databases, configure backups, and troubleshoot errors. Most business owners find it takes 5-10 hours per month to do properly.
DIY Risks: Accidentally breaking your site during updates, missing critical security patches, losing data without proper backups, or not knowing how to recover from a hack. For most businesses, outsourcing is cheaper than the cost of downtime or a security breach.
What happens if I don't maintain my website?
Without maintenance, your website becomes vulnerable to security exploits, slows down, and eventually breaks. Here's what typically happens:
- • Months 1-3: Site slows down, outdated plugins accumulate, minor bugs appear
- • Months 3-6: Security vulnerabilities emerge, search rankings drop, user experience degrades
- • Months 6-12: High risk of being hacked, site may break entirely, Google may flag as unsafe
- • Year 2+: Site becomes completely outdated, incompatible with modern browsers, constant security threats
Recovery Cost: Cleaning a hacked site or rebuilding from scratch can be expensive and time-consuming. Prevention through regular maintenance is always more cost-effective.
How often should I update my website?
Security updates: Immediately when released (often weekly). Software updates: Monthly or bi-weekly. Performance optimization: Monthly. Content updates: As needed for your business.
Our Standard plan includes bi-weekly software updates + immediate critical security patches. Premium plan includes weekly updates + real-time security monitoring.
Do I need backups if my hosting provider offers them?
Yes. Hosting backups are better than nothing, but they have limitations:
- • Most hosting backups only keep 7-14 days of history (not enough if a hack goes unnoticed)
- • Backups are stored on the same server as your site (if the server fails, backups are lost)
- • Recovery can be slow and requires technical knowledge
- • No guarantee backups are working (many hosting backups fail silently)
Our maintenance plans include independent off-site backups with 30-90 day retention (depending on plan) + tested restoration process. We verify backups work, not just that they exist.
What's the difference between website maintenance and website updates?
Website Maintenance: Behind-the-scenes technical work to keep your site secure, fast, and functioning properly. Includes security patches, software updates, backups, performance optimization, and uptime monitoring.
Website Updates: Changes to your site's content, design, or features. Includes adding new pages, updating text/images, redesigning sections, or adding new functionality.
Our Standard and Premium maintenance plans include 2-5 hours of content updates per month. Larger updates (redesigns, new features) are quoted separately. See our Website Updates service for more details.
