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.

The regular jobs that keep a website safe, fast and up to date.

  • WordPress, plugin and theme updates, checked after each one
  • Backups and security checks
  • Text, photo and page changes when you need them

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Out-of-date plugins are a common way websites get hacked.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.

One Team to Call

The people who look after your website are the ones who answer the phone.

Most website problems we're asked to fix started as an update that was put off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
