Website Care

Website care after launch.

Hosting, updates, backups and technical support so your site stays secure, fast and online — without you having to think about it.

What managed website care actually covers.

A website is not a one-off purchase. It needs hosting, security updates, backups and occasional fixes. Managed care handles that so you can focus on running your business — whether you want essential hosting or full hands-off support.

Hosting & SSL.

Fast, reliable hosting with SSL certificates, domain connection and uptime monitoring included. Your site stays online and secure without you needing to understand server configuration. Essential hosting from £15/month.

Updates & security.

WordPress, plugins and platform updates applied regularly so vulnerabilities do not sit unpatched. Security monitoring catches issues early. Managed Website Care from £75/month includes everything in Essential Hosting plus ongoing maintenance.

Automated backups.

Regular automated backups mean you are not one bad update or human error away from losing your site. Backups are stored securely and can be restored if something goes wrong — included on every care plan.

Shopify & WooCommerce care.

Store-specific care plans for Shopify (£45/month) and WooCommerce (£75/month) sites. Theme and app support, store health checks and priority technical assistance so your shop keeps running smoothly after launch.

Ecommerce services

Priority support.

When something breaks — a form stops working, a page goes down, an update causes an issue — you have someone to contact who already knows your site. Small fixes and technical guidance, without waiting days for a generic helpdesk.

How care works after launch.

Once your site is live, care keeps it running. Scroll through what happens from setup to ongoing support.

Setup

At launch

Hosting is connected, SSL is configured, backups are scheduled and monitoring is switched on. Everything is documented so you know what is covered and how to reach me if something comes up.

Monitoring

Ongoing

Uptime is tracked and security alerts are watched. Problems are often caught and fixed before you notice them — rather than discovering an issue when a customer tells you the site is down.

Work involved

UptimeSecurityAlertsHealth checks

Maintenance

Regular

Platform and plugin updates are applied on a sensible schedule. Backups are verified. Store and site health checks run so small issues do not become bigger ones over time.

When needed

Broken forms, layout glitches, email delivery issues, guidance on how to do something — you have a direct contact who built or maintains the site. Larger changes are quoted separately; day-to-day care handles the technical overhead.
