Tailored to you

Timeline: Ongoing, month to month

What you get

Content updates

Text, images, prices, hours, and new pages or posts, done for you.

Security & backups

Hardening, monitoring, and regular backups so a bad day is a non-event.

Updates that do not break

Plugin, theme, and platform updates tested so nothing goes sideways.

Performance monitoring

Speed and uptime watched, so the site stays fast long after launch.

What a maintenance retainer actually includes

Most small businesses do not need to log into their site every week, they need it to stay fast, safe, and current without the worry. A retainer covers the recurring essentials (security, backups, updates, monitoring) plus a block of hands-on time each month for the edits you actually ask for. See the full plan tiers on the website updates & support page.

Why local businesses keep me on retainer

You get one person who already knows your site, replies the same day, and fixes things before they become problems. No ticket queue, no account manager, no waiting a week for a price change. For West Chester and Chester County owners who would rather run their business than babysit a website, that is the whole point.

Common questions

What does website maintenance include?

Software and plugin updates, security hardening and monitoring, regular backups, performance and uptime checks, and a block of time each month for the content edits and small fixes you need.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Every plan is scoped and priced to your site — from the essentials up to more hours and faster turnaround — and you get a fixed quote before anything starts. Everything is month to month, with no long contract. One-off updates are available too.

Do you maintain WordPress websites?

Yes. WordPress care is a core part of maintenance: keeping plugins and the core updated safely, locking down security, and backing everything up so updates never take your site down.

What if I only need occasional updates?

That is fine. You can use one-off update work instead of a monthly plan, or keep a light plan for peace of mind. I will recommend whichever actually fits how often your site changes.

I did not build my site with you. Can you still maintain it?

Usually yes, especially for WordPress and standard setups. I will take a quick look first (the free audit is a good start) and tell you honestly whether I can take it on as-is.

Want your website handled, not on your to-do list?
