A live website is not finished forever

Forms, plugins, hosting, certificates and content all need attention. A care plan gives you a clear route for small changes and basic checks.

The right plan depends on how often the business needs edits and how important the website is to enquiries.

Know what is included

Good care plans define what counts as a small edit, how urgent issues are triaged and when work becomes a separate project.

  • Updates
  • Backups
  • Monitoring
  • Small edits
  • Security checks
