Website management

Someone watching the site so you don't have to

Website management is a standing arrangement for the work a site needs after launch — hosting, software updates, backups, security patching, and monitoring that runs around the clock. The site keeps loading fast, the software stays current, and if anything goes sideways at 2am, we're the ones who find out first.

The site is doing its job. Keeping it that way is a separate job.

A live website is a working piece of equipment: certificates expire, software releases security patches, forms quietly stop delivering, a plugin update breaks a layout.

None of it is hard — it just has to actually happen, on a schedule, forever. That's the part we take off your plate, so the only time you think about the website is when you want something changed.

What's included in a management plan

Fast, managed hosting

Your site runs on a global edge network — copies served from data centers near your visitors — with SSL (the padlock that encrypts traffic) issued and renewed automatically.

Updates and patches

Framework, plugin, and dependency updates applied on a regular cycle, tested on a staging copy of the site first so nothing visible breaks in public.

Backups you can restore

Automatic off-site backups of files and database, kept on a rolling schedule and periodically test-restored — because a backup nobody has ever restored is a guess, not a safety net.

Round-the-clock monitoring

Automated checks watch uptime (whether the site answers at all), page speed, SSL expiry, and form delivery. When something trips, the alert comes to us first.

Security hardening

Firewall and bot filtering, spam protection on forms, locked-down admin access, and a written plan for what happens if a site is ever compromised.

Content edits and small changes

New team member, updated hours, a fresh case study, a page that needs a section added — send it over and we make the change rather than you scheduling a project.

How management works

  1. 1

    Takeover

    We inventory what exists — hosting, domain, DNS, email, plugins, integrations — and get proper access in accounts that stay in your name.

  2. 2

    Baseline

    We patch anything overdue, turn on backups and monitoring, tune performance, and note what we'd improve next so nothing sits on an unwritten list.

  3. 3

    Ongoing rhythm

    Updates on a set cycle, edits as you send them, and a plain-English report covering uptime, speed, and what changed since last time.

  4. 4

    When something breaks

    We're alerted before most visitors notice, roll back or fix, and tell you afterward what happened and what we changed to keep it from repeating.

The same way we run every engagement — how we work →

A good fit if

  • Nobody in-house owns the website day to day
  • The site is business-critical and can't be down
  • You'd rather send an email than learn a CMS
  • Hosting, domain, and email sit in separate accounts
  • You want one number to call when something looks wrong

Questions we get about upkeep

No. We take over sites other people built — WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, custom code. We review what's there first and tell you plainly what we can support as-is and what we'd want to change.
Plans are monthly and priced on the size of the site, how much editing you expect, and whether hosting sits with us or stays where it is — we'll give you a firm number after the first conversation. No long-term contract required.
Monitoring alerts are picked up around the clock. Routine edit requests are turned around promptly, with the specific turnaround spelled out in your plan, and anything that takes the site down is treated as urgent regardless of hour.
You keep everything. Domain, code, content, and hosting accounts stay in your name throughout, so moving is a matter of handing over access — not rebuilding.

Hand off the upkeep, keep the site yours.
