Website Upkeep care plans

Website care plans that run your website for you

A care plan puts a team of developers, designers and writers on your website every month. They watch it, update it, back it up and make the changes you email, so the site keeps working while you work on everything else.

Our promises to every client

Owners come to us after a developer disappeared, a quote took weeks or a bill came in higher than expected. These are the commitments that keep that from happening here.

  • A reply within one business day

    From a person on the team who has looked at your site, not a canned response.

  • Changes live in 48 to 72 hours

    Standard updates, checked on desktop and mobile before we tell you they are done.

  • No surprise invoices

    Work outside your plan gets a quote first, and nothing starts until you approve it.

  • Free transfer, no setup fee

    Moving your site to us costs nothing on a new care plan.

  • One contact who knows your site

    A dedicated team member looks after your website and your requests, so you never explain it twice.

  • Any platform, any host

    WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, GoDaddy, Joomla, Drupal or custom code, wherever it lives today.

Built for businesses whose website has to work every day

Professionals, nonprofits, churches and organizations of every size, too.

  • Contractors & home services

    Project galleries, service areas and quote forms that actually deliver.

  • Restaurants & cafes

    Menus, hours and specials that are right today, not last season.

  • Law, finance & professional firms

    A credible, secure site that matches the quality of the work.

  • Medical & dental offices

    Accurate providers, hours and forms, with privacy handled carefully.

  • Nonprofits & churches

    Events, donations and volunteer pages kept fresh by people who answer.

  • Retail & e-commerce

    Products, prices and checkout kept running, plugins and all.

  • Real estate & mortgage

    Listings, rates and lead forms that never go stale.

  • Schools & training

    Class schedules, registration and course pages kept current.

Owners who stopped worrying about their websites

Website UpKeep made some changes we found others were not able to make and they did it within 2 days! We were quoted a few weeks and double the costs by others.

Questions, answered

How care plans work

Something we did not cover? Send us a note and a real person answers within one business day.

What happens after I sign up?

We reply within one business day, confirm the plan and, if hosting with us suits your site, move it to our servers at no charge. Then the routine care starts: monitoring, updates and security. From that point on, every change is one email away.

How do I ask for a change?

Email us in plain words, the same way you would ask a colleague. Standard updates are live within 48 to 72 hours, and we tell you when they are done.

Do you work on websites you did not build?

Yes. We maintain websites built by any developer or agency, on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, GoDaddy, Joomla, Drupal and custom code.

Do I have to move my hosting to you?

No. We look after sites wherever they are hosted. Moving to our servers is free on a new plan and makes changes faster, but it is your call. See managed hosting for the difference.

Will updates break my site?

Updates are where most problems start, which is why we apply them carefully, check the live site afterward and restore the previous version from backup if anything misbehaves.

What if I need more than my plan covers?

We quote it first. You see the estimate and approve it before any extra work begins, so there are no surprise invoices. Regular extra work is cheaper on a higher plan, and we will tell you when that is the case.

Do I keep ownership of my website?

Yes. Your domain, your content and your website files belong to your business. If you ever move on, we provide a full backup so the next team can pick up where we left off.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Move up when the site starts doing more for the business, or talk to us about stepping down if it needs less. Compare the plans.
