Website Maintenance
Vital Support To Help You Get Results
Business websites are not fire-and-forget projects. They need support and regular website maintenance from a professional web designer.
If that seems obvious, skip to the plans. Otherwise, read on…
Why Websites Need Maintenance
The web changes fast. Search engines change algorithms. Web technologies evolve. So do market trends, prices, products, and your competition.
Hackers also keep finding new ways to attack your site and its visitors — often invisibly. So many sites unknowingly spread malware. No site is too small to be a target. If it gets visitors, it can be used to spread malware. That will either harm your customers, or lose them if their anti-virus software spots the threat.
Left unchecked, such external factors can break any site. Site performance also directly affects SEO. So regular website maintenance is business-critical.
Why Websites Need Support
Likewise, many small business websites fail without proper support. Because your competitors actively manage and promote their websites. So you’ll have to do that, too.
Here’s the catch: there’s lots of outdated, inexperienced and even plain fake “advice” to filter through. So it’s all much easier with an experienced advisor on hand.
It’s not just website advice and site fixes, either. Over time, professionals accumulate skills, tools and resources that can help with your marketing. You’d find many of these costly or even impossible to access on an occasional basis.
I’ve been building websites for over 25 years and specialised in helping small businesses for over 16. You don’t survive that long in business without learning some expensive lessons the hard way. Unless you have experienced advice, that is — ideally from someone who has helped other businesses solve problems and avoid those mistakes, not just their own.
So I can help a lot.
Website Maintenance Options
Basic Website Maintenance & Support Plan
- Up to 1 hour of website maintenance or consultation per month
- Up to 3 month’s rollover of unused time (i.e. 3 hours per quarter max.)
- 20% off any further support needed
- 6‑month minimum term, then renews quarterly
Get decades of experience on tap! For just £60 per month, this support plan offers:
- Up to an hour of website maintenance or consultation per month
- Up to 3 month’s rollover of unused time
- 20% off any further support needed
- Over 25 years of web design and development experience
It also tends to turn complex, “Please explain how to do this” requests into simpler, “Please do this” ones. That saves you even more time and money.
Finally, having a regular website support plan helps you to grow your business online. Most site owners are too busy to spot problems or keep up with digital marketing trends. So just having informed advice on that can be valuable.
The Basic Maintenance Plan has a six-month minimum contract, then renews quarterly.
WordPress Maintenance Included
Using WordPress? You’ll need to keep on top of the frequent security updates. These are so vital that my hosting plans include them as standard. Otherwise, this plan can cover those as well — at no extra charge.
What If I Don’t Need That Much Website Support?
Well, that’s hard to predict. You may need more help than you expect. Still, having even a little expert help on tap can help a lot, and my goal is to help smaller businesses. So if you’re a sole trader, get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do about a more limited package.
Otherwise, you could DIY, but the internet is an archive of outdated advice. Or you could rely on pay-as-you-go support (below), though that’s more costly. Either way though, you’d miss out on valuable online marketing advice.
Pay-As-You-Go Website Support
Most website work needs discussion, analysis, design, implementation and testing. Yet none of these can be predicted precisely. So prepaid Credits simplify billing for occasional help like site fixes, content edits and other support tasks.
Each PAYG Website Support Credit covers an hour of support, or half an hour on weekends and public holidays. Credits are non-refundable and must be used within 12 months of purchase.
Multi-day projects attract reduced rates. Projects in any field often take significantly longer than most people expect. So please ask if you think this may apply.

Can’t recommend him highly enough. He was extremely professional, laid out exactly what we needed to do and his role within that, setting expectations all round very clearly, and working within our budgetary constraints to set clear boundaries. He was extremely prompt and punctual in his responses and work. He was also extremely patient with his recommendations and explanations, which were clear and simple to follow. Excellent value for us as a charity. We’re very grateful to him — he was a real pleasure to work with.

It is a pleasure dealing with a professional with a high degree of technical skill allied to a ‘can do’ positive attitude. Your ability to explain technical concepts in layman’s language is also a great advantage. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services.

Pete is one of the most creative, reliable, competent and ingenious people it has ever been my very great pleasure to work with. There is no problem he can’t find an ingenious and unexpected way out of, and he has a work ethic you could bend horseshoes around. I cannot recommend him highly enough for his breadth and depth of knowledge and his total commitment to whichever project he is currently undertaking.

DogLost is the UK’s largest community of pet owners and rescuers. Other developers have struggled to meet our needs, but since Peter rebuilt our site and support systems we have gone from strength to strength, winning major awards including the 2013 Innovation Award from the International Fund for Animal Welfare. We couldn’t have done that without him.

Cody’s Pet Deli is an online business that sells pet food & accessories. Approaching Pete to set up a new website was the best move I have made. We wanted a system that was easy to navigate and look good when customers shop online.Pete made the whole process simple and dealing with him was a great pleasure. He can’t do enough to help and solve any problem that may arise. I would highly recommend Pete for his experience and knowledge and total dedication to see the project through to final conclusion.Steve H.
