Focus on the work YOU need to do.
And we’ll focus on making sure your website is doing what it needs to do.
Website maintenance is essential.
News flash: There’s no such thing as a maintenance-free website.
Your website is like a digital version of a houseplant: it needs regular care and attention in order to thrive. Like any other software it needs to, at the very least, be kept up to date.
A lot of things can go wrong when your website gets neglected, including:
- Becomes slow and laggy, so your customers leave without buying
- Security can be compromised, making site vulnerable to malware
- Visitors stop trusting your brand
- Search engine ranking goes down
Your once-beautiful digital “houseplant” is dying – or dead. It’s not reaching your customers, your customers can’t find you, and search engines don’t like you.
The solution: Find someone you trust to maintain your site.
Why sign up for maintenance?
We’re all about empowering our clients to have functional, findable websites. But we know that sometimes you don’t have the time or the technical know-how, in house, to manage your website yourself.
- It runs fast, and will keep running fast
- Your website is more secure
- It will look fresh, clean and up to date
- It will be more search-engine friendly
- Backups in case something goes wrong

FAQ
What if my site is already broken?
We’ll take a look and assess, and give our best estimate as to what needs to be done and how long it will take to fix.
I'm not on WordPress. Can I still sign up?
Our maintenance services apply to WordPress and Shopify clients only.
What's the process?
We’ll collect the access information we need for your site and run a preliminary evaluation. If it’s been a long time or there are significant updates required, we’ll contact you with any additional setup requirements.
How do I send in an edit?
Send us an email and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours. The edits covered by your maintenance package are included in our list above.

It only takes one critical error to realize just how important your website backup is! We back up your site daily and store backups on and off-site for 90 days.
My website needs an overhaul.
Major rework is not covered by our maintenance plan. Take a look at our 21-Day Website Fix website, or contact us for a consultation.
