Website maintenance and care plans in Melbourne
A website isn't finished when it launches. Updates, security patches, backups and small fixes keep it fast, safe and working. Our care plans cover WordPress, Webflow and HubSpot CMS sites, with one team to call when something needs attention.
Most websites are only looked at when something breaks.
- Plugin, theme and platform updates pile up unapplied
- Backups exist, but nobody has tested a restore
- Small changes wait weeks because nobody owns them
- Speed and security slip quietly until a customer, or Google, notices
Prevention costs far less than an emergency.
What good website care looks like
- Updates applied on a schedule and tested before they go live
- Backups you can actually restore from
- Uptime and performance monitored, so issues are caught early
- A set amount of changes and fixes each month, so small jobs never queue

Frequently asked questions
About Website Care Plans & Maintenance
What is a website care plan?
A website care plan is an ongoing arrangement where a team looks after your website: applying updates, monitoring security and performance, keeping backups and making small changes. It means problems are prevented, not just fixed after they appear.
What does website maintenance include?
Typically platform and plugin updates, security monitoring, backups, uptime and speed checks, and a set amount of content changes each month. See the list above for what each plan includes.
How much does website maintenance cost in Melbourne?
It depends on your platform, the size of the site and how much change and support you need. Our plans start from $[price] a month. See our rate card or book a call for a quote based on your site.
Do you maintain websites you didn't build?
Usually yes, after a short health check to confirm the site is in good shape and we have the access we need. We'll tell you plainly if something needs fixing first.
Which platforms do you support?
How often are updates applied?
WordPress core, theme and plugin updates are applied on a regular schedule, with urgent security updates applied sooner. Each update is tested before it goes live.
What happens if my website is hacked or goes down?
We restore from a clean backup, find out how it happened and close the gap. Monitoring means we usually hear about a problem before you do.
Can I get content changes made each month?
Yes. Standard and Growth plans include a monthly allowance of changes such as new pages, copy edits and image updates. Larger pieces of work are scoped separately.
What's the difference between a care plan and hosting?
Hosting is the server your site runs on. A care plan is the people and process looking after the site itself: updates, security, backups, performance and changes.
Do I need a care plan if my site is on Webflow or HubSpot CMS?
These platforms handle hosting and platform updates for you, so there is no plugin patching. A plan still helps with content changes, performance, SEO and analytics checks, and keeping integrations working. See Platform & CMS Development.
