What "looking after your website" actually means
Every 5 minutes, every week, every change and every month: here's what happens behind the scenes on a cared-for site.
Most small-business websites are built once and then left alone. The software gets older, a form quietly stops sending, and nobody notices the site is down until a customer mentions it. Monthly care exists so that never happens to yours. Here's what it actually involves, from the smallest check to the monthly report.
Every 5 minutes
Your site is checked around the clock. If it stops responding, we get an alert straight away and act on it, so we know before your customers do. A site that's down during a busy weekend costs you enquiries you'll never hear about.
Every week
Every software package your site runs on is monitored, and updates are reviewed and applied weekly. Outdated software is the most common way small sites get broken into, not because anyone targets them but because automated bots scan for known holes. Keeping current closes that window.
Every time something changes
Whether it's your edit or ours, every change goes live through a tested pipeline. If something goes wrong during a build, your current site stays up, untouched. And because every change is saved in your site's history, anything can be rolled back.
Every month
You get a plain-English report, so you never have to log in to anything to know how your site is doing:
- Uptime: how much of the month the site was up, and any incidents.
- Traffic: visitors and page views, compared with last month.
- Top pages: what people looked at most.
- Leads: contact form messages and booking requests.
- Search: what people searched to find you.
- Maintenance log: the updates and fixes we applied.
Your website is a 24/7 employee. We make sure it shows up to work.
All of this is part of monthly care, along with hosting and small edits, for $49 a month.
