Why Maintenance Matters

The Real Cost of Neglecting Your Website

A website is not a set-and-forget asset. Without regular maintenance, small issues compound into expensive disasters.

Without Maintenance

What happens to neglected websites

Security Vulnerabilities

High Risk

Outdated WordPress and plugins are the #1 cause of website hacks. 90% of hacked WordPress sites were running outdated software.

Broken Functionality

High Risk

Plugin conflicts and compatibility issues accumulate over time, causing forms, checkout, and features to stop working.

Slow Performance

Medium Risk

Database bloat, unoptimised images, and expired caching rules slow your site down, hurting SEO and conversions.

No Recovery Options

Critical Risk

Without regular backups, a hack, failed update, or hosting issue means starting from scratch or paying thousands to recover.

SEO Penalties

High Risk

Google penalises slow, insecure sites. Hacked sites can be blacklisted entirely, destroying your search rankings.

Lost Revenue

Critical Risk

Every hour your site is down or broken, you lose potential customers. E-commerce sites can lose thousands per day.

Higher tier plans include additional features like content edits, staging environments, and dedicated account management.
Essential plans include weekly updates. Professional plans are updated twice weekly, and Enterprise plans receive daily updates. All updates are tested in staging environments first (Professional and Enterprise) to ensure compatibility before being applied to your live site.
If your site is compromised while on a maintenance plan, we will clean and restore it at no additional cost.

Additional development work beyond your plan's included hours is billed at our standard hourly rate of $150/hour. We always get approval before starting any work that would exceed your allowance, so there are no surprise charges.
We perform automated daily backups of your entire site including files, database, and media. Backups are stored securely off-site in Australian data centres. Depending on your plan, we retain backups for 7, 30, or 90 days. Restorations can be done with one click or by our team.
