Website Maintenance Melbourne
A website needs looking after once it’s live. Our Melbourne team handles website maintenance for business websites and online stores: updates, backups, security checks and the small changes that never seem to get done. You get one team to call, and a website that keeps working.
Business owners who’d rather not log in to their website every week.
- WordPress websites that haven’t been updated in a while
- Online stores that can’t afford to be offline
- Businesses without someone technical on staff
If any of these sound familiar, your website needs some attention.
- A row of update warnings in the WordPress dashboard
- Pages loading slower than they used to
- Forms, bookings or checkout that stopped working after an update

Why website maintenance matters
WordPress and its plugins release updates all the time, and many of them close security holes. A website that isn’t updated gets slower, breaks more easily and is easier to hack. Regular website maintenance costs far less than rebuilding a hacked or broken site.
Fewer Security Risks
Out-of-date plugins are a common way websites get hacked. Updates close those gaps.
Faster Pages
A tidy, up-to-date website loads quicker for customers and for Google.
A Backup Ready
If something does go wrong, your website can be restored instead of rebuilt.

Website maintenance FAQs
Common questions about website maintenance in Melbourne. Can't see yours? Ask us.
What does website maintenance include?
Website maintenance covers the regular work that keeps a site healthy: WordPress, plugin and theme updates, backups, security checks, testing that forms and checkout still work, and small content changes. We agree on exactly what’s included before you start, so you know what you’re paying for.
How much does website maintenance cost?
It depends on the size of your website, how many plugins it uses, whether it’s an online store and how many changes you need each month. We look at your website first, then give you a fixed monthly price. For the cost of building a new site, see our website cost guide.
Do you maintain websites you didn't build?
Yes. We start with a check of your website to see how it was built, what needs updating and whether anything is broken. Then we tell you what it needs and what the upkeep would involve.
How often does a WordPress website need updating?
WordPress, plugins and themes release updates most weeks. Security updates should go on promptly, and each update should be followed by a quick check that the website still works. Leaving updates for months is how small problems turn into big ones.
What happens if my website breaks or gets hacked?
Call us. If your website is on a care plan with us, we restore it from a backup, find what caused the problem and fix it. If you’re not a customer yet, we can still take a look and tell you what it would take to get your website back.
Is hosting included with website maintenance?
Hosting and maintenance are separate, but most customers have both with us so there’s one team responsible. New websites we design come with 12 months of free hosting. See our web hosting page for details.
