Website upkeep, every month
Website maintenance for small business, handled every month.
A website isn't finished when it launches. Software needs updating, forms stop sending, domains lapse and opening hours change. We look after all of it, so the site keeps working while you run the business.
get your website checked
When did someone last check your website?
Four quick steps, mostly taps. Add the address, and we look the site over before we reply with what needs attention and roughly what looking after it would cost.
Which website, and when was it last checked?
With the address, we can look it over before we reply.
what's covered
What small business website maintenance covers, and how often.
Six jobs, on a schedule, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
| Task | What it means | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Backups | A full copy of the site and its content, so it can be put back if something goes wrong | Daily |
| Software and security updates | The site's code and everything it runs on, kept patched | Checked weekly |
| Form and link checks | A test sent through every form, and every link followed | Monthly |
| Domain and security certificate | Renewed so the site and its padlock never lapse | Before they expire |
| Content changes | Hours, prices, photos, staff, a new page | When you ask |
| Fixes | Anything broken, found by us or reported by you | When it breaks |
without it
Websites rarely break all at once. They wear out quietly.
None of these show up on the day they happen. That's why they need a schedule, not a memory.
The form stops sending
Enquiries go nowhere, and nobody notices until a customer mentions they wrote weeks ago.
The domain lapses
The site goes down, and if your email uses the same domain, so does that.
Old software stays open
Software that isn't updated keeps its known security holes open, and known holes are the easiest ones to exploit.
The details drift
Last year's prices and hours sit on the site, while your Google profile says something else.
already have a site
Did someone else build your website?
That's fine, and common. The person who built it moved on, the logins are in an old email somewhere, and nobody has touched it since.
We start by looking at what you have: what it runs on, whether it's backed up, and what's out of date. If it's sound, we take it over as it is. If it would cost more to keep alive than to replace, we'll say so, and a new small business website comes with this maintenance built in.

questions
What owners ask us about maintenance.
Something else on your mind? Ask it in the free chat.
- What does website maintenance include?
- Backups, software and security updates, checks that forms and links still work, renewing the domain and security certificate, content changes when you ask, and fixes when something breaks. The table on this page sets out how often each one happens.
- How much does website maintenance cost for a small business?
- Maintenance comes inside every package, with no separate hosting bill and no setup fee. Found, AU$149 a month, includes a website of up to 8 pages, its upkeep and an hour of changes a month. Looking after a site someone else built is quoted after the free chat.
- Does a simple website need maintenance?
- Yes, if it has a contact form, a domain or software underneath it, and every website has all three. A simple site needs less time, not none.
- Can you maintain a website someone else built?
- Often, yes. We look at it first. If it's sound, we take it over. If it would cost more to keep alive than to rebuild, we'll tell you that instead.
