A website doesn't run itself. After launch, there are ongoing tasks that keep it secure, performing well, and up to date. A maintenance plan is the service that handles those tasks so you don't have to think about them.
What website maintenance covers
At the core, website maintenance involves:
- Software updates: WordPress core, themes, and plugins need regular updates to stay secure and compatible. Outdated plugins are one of the most common causes of both security vulnerabilities and site errors.
- Security monitoring: Actively checking for malware, suspicious activity, and vulnerabilities.
- Backups: Ensuring recent backups are in place and can be restored if needed.
- Uptime monitoring: Being alerted if the site goes down.
- Minor content changes: Updating text, swapping images, adjusting information as the business changes.
What NC Digital's maintenance plans include
Our maintenance plans start from £50 per month, which covers the core technical maintenance — updates, security, backups, and monitoring — without content additions.
For businesses that want to grow their site over time, our £75 per month plan includes everything in the standard plan plus the ability to add up to five new pages per month. These can be SEO-driven location or service pages, project write-ups, or any other content that supports the business.
Who needs a maintenance plan?
Any business with a WordPress website benefits from a maintenance plan. The technical upkeep alone — keeping plugins and core updated, monitoring for security issues — is enough reason. For businesses that want to actively build their online presence with new content, the higher tier makes the work systematic rather than ad hoc.
