Our plans start at $500/month for standard WordPress sites. Ecommerce stores and high-traffic sites with custom functionality range from $800 to $2,000/month depending on scope. Every website maintenance plan includes updates, backups, security, speed optimization, and monthly reporting. ### Do you maintain sites you didn't build? Yes. About half of our maintenance clients came to us with sites built by other agencies or freelancers. We start with a full audit to understand the codebase and identify immediate issues before onboarding. ### What happens if my site goes down? Our 24/7 uptime monitoring detects outages within minutes. We begin troubleshooting immediately and aim to resolve critical issues within 2 hours. Your latest backup is always ready for instant restore if needed. ### Can I cancel or change plans? All plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel with 30 days' notice. We transfer all access and documentation back to you on exit. ### Do you handle content updates too? Yes. Plans include a set number of content update hours per month — text changes, image swaps, new pages, blog posts. Larger content projects can be scoped separately. ## Ready to Stop Worrying About Your Website? Tell us about your site. Free audit and maintenance plan recommendation within 48 hours.
