Security breaches are expensive
An unmaintained site is a target. A single outdated plugin can let attackers in, deface your site, steal data or get you blacklisted by Google, a recovery that costs far more than maintenance.
Speed and rankings drift down
Code bloat, broken links and unpatched performance issues slowly drag your site down. Google rewards sites that stay fast and reliable; neglect costs you rankings over time.
Lost enquiries from broken forms
A contact form that silently stopped working, or a broken link to your key service page, costs you leads you'll never even know about. Regular checks catch these.
Frequently asked questions
How often should a website be maintained?
Security updates and backups should run continuously/automatically; a hands-on check of forms, links and content is wise monthly; a deeper audit quarterly.
Is maintenance included with a new website?
The build is one-off; maintenance is an ongoing service. Most reputable agencies offer a care plan from launch so the site stays secure and supported.
