Short answer
Website maintenance covers updates, security checks, backups, uptime monitoring and small content edits. At modernizuj.me annual maintenance starts at EUR 290, and websites I build already include updates and SSL.
What happens without maintenance?
Security updates pile up, plugins go out of date and the site keeps getting slower. Google notices and drops you in the results. In the worst case the site gets hacked or goes down exactly when you need it most. Maintenance prevents these problems.
What does maintenance include?
Updating the system, themes and plugins. Security checks and malware removal. Speed work: image compression, caching and database clean-up. Backups you can restore at any time. Monitoring whether the site is up.
How often should you update?
Critical security fixes immediately. Other updates at least monthly. Backups regularly, daily for sites that change often. Check speed and SEO monthly. With the right partner this is one call a month. Get in touch for an assessment.
Is maintenance worth it?
Maintenance is almost always cheaper than fixing a hacked site. If the site goes down during the season, you lose bookings that do not come back. Maintenance starts at EUR 290 a year. See the pricing.
