Website Maintenance

Your website is fine right up until
the morning it isn't

Nobody thinks about maintenance until the site is down, the contact form has been silently failing for three weeks, or a plugin update took the checkout with it. We handle the backups, the updates, the monitoring and the small fixes every month — and when something does break, there is a named person who answers.

What actually goes wrong

The failures that cost money are the quiet ones

A site that is completely down gets fixed within the hour, because everybody notices. The expensive failures are the ones nobody sees for a month.

The contact form stopped sending

A plugin update changed how mail is handled, or the forwarding address expired. The form still says thank you. The enquiries go nowhere, and you conclude business is slow. We have found this on sites that had been quietly losing leads for months.

The backup nobody ever restored

Most sites have backups. Far fewer have backups anyone has tried to restore. A backup you have not tested is a belief, not a safeguard — and you find out which it was on the worst possible day.

The person who used to handle it left

The freelancer moved on, the agency stopped replying, the developer who built it took the passwords with them. Nobody knows where the site is hosted, who owns the domain, or how to change a phone number on the homepage.

Compromised, and still serving customers

Outdated plugins get exploited by scripts that scan the whole internet for them. A hacked site often looks normal — it is quietly serving spam links or skimming card details until a browser or a search engine flags it.

What is covered

The unglamorous work, done on a schedule

None of this is exciting. All of it is the difference between a site that works for years and one that quietly rots.

Backups, and restore tests

Automated off-site backups on a schedule that matches how often your site changes — and periodic restores to prove they actually work, which is the part almost everybody skips.

  • Off-site, versioned copies
  • Tested restores
  • Database and files

Security monitoring

Malware scanning, firewall rules, SSL certificate renewal, and login hardening. Watching for the exploit attempts that hit every site on the internet, not just yours.

  • Malware scanning
  • SSL renewal
  • Login & firewall hardening

Updates that get tested first

Core, plugin and theme updates applied on a copy, checked, then deployed — with a way back if something breaks. An update applied straight to a live site is a gamble taken with your revenue.

  • Staged, not live
  • Verified before deploy
  • Rollback available

Content changes

Prices, hours, staff, a new page, a swapped photo. Send an email and it gets done, instead of sitting on your list for six weeks because logging in is a whole afternoon.

  • Text and image edits
  • New pages
  • No ticket system

Speed and uptime

Uptime monitoring so we know before you do, plus ongoing performance work — because sites get slower over time as content, plugins and tracking scripts accumulate.

How we work

Two things that make this different

You own everything, always

Your hosting, your domain, your repository, your accounts. We work inside them rather than holding them. If you leave, nothing needs migrating and nothing is held hostage — a documented handover and you are gone. Agencies that keep clients by keeping their credentials are the reason people distrust this industry.

A named person, not a ticket queue

You get someone who knows your site and answers directly. Not a shared inbox, not a chatbot, not a first-line agent reading a script who has to escalate before anything happens.

Getting started

From first look to fully handled

The audit comes first, so you know what you are buying.

  1. 01

    Free audit Two to three days

    We look at the site as it is today: what is out of date, what is exposed, whether the backups exist, whether the forms actually send. You get that list whether or not you continue.

  2. 02

    Fix what is already broken Scoped from the audit

    Anything urgent gets dealt with before the plan starts, quoted separately and up front. Starting a maintenance plan on a site that is already broken just means paying monthly for a problem you already had.

  3. 03

    The plan begins From day one

    Backups, monitoring and updates start running on schedule. You get access details for everything, in your own accounts, documented.

  4. 04

    Monthly, quietly Ongoing

    Work happens, the report arrives, and you mostly do not think about it. That is what you are paying for. When you do need something, you email a person and it gets done.

Plans

Published prices, because you should not have to ask

Three plans, all monthly, all cancellable. Every agency that hides its pricing behind a call does it because the number changes depending on how much they think you can pay.

Proof

We maintain our own site the way we would maintain yours

This site is generated from a content pipeline where every build is verified byte-stable, every page's metadata is generated rather than hand-edited, and a check fails the build if anything drifts. Fonts are self-hosted, the icon font is subsetted from 270 KB to 13 KB, and there are no third-party origins other than analytics. All of it is inspectable from your own browser right now.

We also build and operate our own software. İKAsistan is a Turkish HR platform we designed, shipped and maintain — which is the clearest answer to whether the people handling your site can actually do the work.

Questions

Straight answers

What happens if my site goes down at 2am?

Uptime monitoring alerts us, and we start work on it — usually before you have noticed. Response times differ by plan and are listed on each one above. We would rather publish the actual commitment than imply an instant response we cannot always honour.

Do you host the website too?

No, and that is deliberate. Your hosting stays in your name, on your card, under your control. We work inside it. Bundling hosting into a maintenance plan is how agencies make leaving difficult, and we would rather you stayed because the work is good.

What if I want to leave?

You give notice, we hand over documentation of everything we set up, and you go. There is nothing to migrate because nothing was ever moved to us. No exit fee, no hostage situation.

Does this cover a redesign?

No. Maintenance keeps the site you have working, secure and current. A redesign or a new section is separate project work, quoted separately. We will tell you plainly when what you are asking for has crossed that line rather than quietly absorbing it and resenting it.

Which platforms do you support?

WordPress, Webflow, Framer and Shopify, plus custom-built sites. The work differs by platform — a Webflow site needs no plugin updates, a WordPress site needs them weekly — and the plan is adjusted to what your site actually requires.

We already have a developer. Is this still useful?

Sometimes not, and we will say so. Where it usually helps is when your developer builds rather than maintains — they are excellent at shipping features and have no interest in checking backups on a Tuesday. The two roles are different and people are rarely good at both.

What is not included?

New features, redesigns, content writing, ad management and SEO campaigns are all separate. Content changes are included within the allowance on your plan; beyond that we quote before doing anything, never after.

Can you take over a site somebody else built?

Yes, and that is most of what we do. The free audit exists partly for this: we find out what state it is really in before either of us commits. If it is in bad enough shape that maintenance would be papering over cracks, we will tell you that instead of selling you a plan.

Find out what state your site is actually in

The audit is free and takes two to three days. You will get a plain list of what is out of date, what is exposed, whether your backups would actually restore, and whether your contact form is really sending — whether or not you decide to work with us.
