A Website That Doesn't Get Maintained Doesn't Stay Working
Most business owners launch a website and assume it takes care of itself. It doesn't. I handle all the behind-the-scenes work -- security, updates, backups, speed, and content changes -- so your site keeps performing the way it did when it launched.
What Actually Happens to an Unmaintained Site
At first, nothing visible. Over time, things start degrading quietly. Plugins fall out of date. Security vulnerabilities accumulate. Page load times creep up. Google notices a slow site and starts deprioritizing it in search results.
Then one day, the site goes down. Or gets hacked. Or a plugin update breaks the checkout page. And it happens on the busiest week of your year.
What you get with a maintenance plan
Everything Your Site Needs to Keep Running Right
One flat monthly rate. All of this is handled without you having to think about it.
Security Monitoring and Updates
Outdated plugins, CMS versions, and themes are the leading cause of website hacks. I keep every component up to date and monitor for vulnerabilities so your site stays protected.
Daily Backups You Can Actually Rely On
If something goes wrong, you need to be able to roll back fast. I keep daily off-site backups of your full site -- so a bad update or a hacked site never means losing everything.
Speed and Performance Optimization
Slow sites lose rankings and customers. I monitor load times, optimize images, clear caches, and keep your site performing at the level it was at on launch day -- or better.
Content Updates Without the Wait
Need to update pricing, add a service, swap a photo, or change your hours? Submit the request and I handle it -- usually within one business day.
CMS and Plugin Updates
WordPress, plugins, themes -- I keep everything updated and tested. Updates are staged before going live to prevent compatibility issues from breaking your site.
Monthly Performance Reports
Each month I send a plain-English report: uptime, load speed, any security events, and what was updated. No dashboards full of metrics you don't care about.
Simple Monthly Pricing
One flat rate. No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime.
Monthly Maintenance Plan
Starting at
$129/mo
No long-term contracts. Month-to-month after an initial setup. If you're not happy with the service, you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
Most clients find that one prevented security incident or one avoided downtime event covers a full year of maintenance costs.

Every Maintenance Plan Includes
What Happens After You Reach Out
No pressure. No pitch. Here's what the process looks like.

I Review Your Setup
I check your hosting environment, plugin health, backup status, and performance -- and flag anything that needs immediate attention.
Simple Onboarding
If it's a fit, I take over hosting and maintenance -- typically live within a week. From there, it's completely hands-off for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about website maintenance for New Hampshire businesses.
What does website maintenance actually include?+
My maintenance plan covers everything your site needs to stay healthy: security monitoring and updates, daily backups, CMS and plugin updates, load speed optimization, content edits (text, photos, pricing, hours), uptime monitoring, and a monthly plain-English report. You don't have to think about any of it -- I handle it.
How much does website maintenance cost in New Hampshire?+
Website maintenance starts at $129/month. That includes managed hosting, security, backups, software updates, and content edits. Some clients add extra services like SEO monitoring or more frequent content updates -- those are scoped separately. No long-term contracts required.
What happens if I don't maintain my website?+
In the short term: nothing visible. Over time: your site slows down, security vulnerabilities accumulate, plugins break compatibility with each other, and your Google rankings start slipping because slow or broken sites get penalized. Eventually, an unmaintained site gets hacked or goes offline at the worst possible time.
My website wasn't built by you. Can you maintain it?+
Yes, in most cases. I'll review your existing site before taking it on. If it's built on a standard platform like WordPress and is in reasonably good shape, I can manage it. If it has serious technical issues, I'll tell you upfront -- and we can discuss whether a rebuild makes more sense than ongoing maintenance of something broken.
How quickly can you make content changes?+
Most content updates are completed within one business day of your request. For more involved changes -- adding a new service page, uploading a photo gallery, restructuring a section -- I'll give you a timeline when you submit the request. Either way, you're not waiting a week for a simple text update.
Do I need a maintenance plan if you built my site?+
Yes. Even a brand-new site needs ongoing care -- WordPress and plugin updates come out weekly, performance needs monitoring, and your business information will change over time. The maintenance plan is how I keep the site running the way it did on launch day, and how you get content changes handled without calling a developer every time.
