Support
Website maintenance for South African businesses
Ongoing care so your website stays fast, secure and working properly after launch. Plans from R1,500 per month.
The principle
Launch is not the end
A website is not a static document. It needs to be kept updated, secured, backed up and improved over time.
Most businesses treat their website as finished when it goes live and then wonder why it slowly loses performance. We offer ongoing maintenance so the asset keeps improving instead of degrading.
What is covered
What a maintenance plan includes
Updates and security
Core, plugin and platform updates are a regular security requirement, not optional housekeeping. Unpatched websites are a target. We keep your site current, monitor for issues and respond quickly when something needs attention.
Speed and performance
Page speed directly affects search rankings and visitor experience. We monitor load times, optimise images, manage caching and address technical performance issues before they start costing you traffic and conversions.
Content changes and support
When you need copy updated, a new staff member added, a new service listed or a page restructured, you contact us and we handle it. Priority support for maintenance clients means no lengthy back-and-forth.
Plans
Monthly maintenance retainers
For businesses that want ongoing support without the uncertainty of ad-hoc billing.
