Website Maintenance Services for Bristol Businesses
We keep your website updated, backed up and checked, so a broken form or a failed update doesn’t quietly cost you enquiries. Our website maintenance services start at £20 a month, with hosting included and no minimum term.
- From £20 a month Care, with hosting included
- No minimum term cancel with 30 days’ notice
- Built by someone else? we can usually still look after it
What can go wrong without maintenance
Most problems build up quietly, until they cost you leads.
Updates pile up
Plugins, themes and the core software all need regular updates.
Updates clash
One update can stop another part of the site working, especially on older sites.
Forms stop sending
Nobody notices until someone asks why you never replied.
Security gaps grow
Old software and weak passwords make a site an easier target.
Downtime goes unseen
A site can sit broken or offline for days if nobody is checking.
Small jobs wait
Old photos, out-of-date prices and wording that no longer fits.
Website maintenance services, month by month
Every Care plan covers the routine jobs that keep a site safe and working.
It’s planned upkeep, which some agencies call website management services, so problems get caught early instead of fixed in a rush.
Skipped upkeep shows. In our check of Bristol and Bath business websites in November 2026, about 1 in 8 listed sites didn’t work, most often because the web address no longer existed.
- Fast UK hosting with an SSL certificate, the padlock in the address bar.
- Daily backups, so there’s always a recent copy to go back to.
- Uptime monitoring, so we know if the site goes down.
- Plugin and core updates, applied and checked.
- Security monitoring, watching for anything suspicious.
- Monthly form and backup checks, so enquiries keep arriving and backups work.

Website security basics for small businesses
Old software and weak passwords invite attacks, and no backup makes a hack hard to undo. These basics close those gaps.

When something breaks
A clear process, so you know what happens next.
Find the cause
We work out whether it’s an update, a clash, the server or something else.
Respond
If it’s covered by your plan, we fix it. If it isn’t, we tell you and estimate it first.
Restore if needed
If going back is the safest fix, we restore a recent daily backup.
Confirm and recommend
We tell you what happened, what we did and whether anything else needs doing.
Small changes, included
Care Plus includes 1 hour a month and Care Pro 3 hours. On Care, small jobs are £30 an hour.
Image swaps
New photos for your team, products or work.
Text edits
Updated prices, opening hours, services and wording.
New sections
An extra section on a page, or a simple new page.
Small fixes
Tidying awkward layouts and small mobile niggles.
Need a new feature, like bookings or a customer login? That’s bespoke website development, with its own estimate.
Want to cut the admin behind your website, like re-typing enquiries or building quotes by hand? We also build custom business systems.
Your monthly report
Included with Care Pro, in plain English.
- What we updated during the month.
- What we checked, including forms, backups and uptime.
- Any issues we found, and how we fixed them.
- What we recommend next, such as a one-off website speed optimisation if pages have slowed, or a technical SEO audit if Google struggles to read the site.
Maintenance or hosting? Do I need both?
No. Every Care plan includes hosting, so you only pay for one. Hosting keeps the site online. Care also keeps it updated and checked.
| Hosting | Care plans | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £8 a month | From £20 a month |
| Fast UK hosting and SSL | Yes | Yes |
| Daily backups | Yes | Yes |
| Uptime monitoring | Yes | Yes |
| Plugin and core updates | No | Yes |
| Security monitoring | No | Yes |
| Monthly form and backup checks | No | Yes |
| Time for changes | £30 an hour | 1 hour (Care Plus) or 3 hours (Care Pro) a month |
Online shops add £10 a month to either. More on hosting: low cost website hosting.
Questions about our website maintenance services
How much does website maintenance cost?
Our website maintenance plans start with Care at £20 a month. Care Plus is £50 and Care Pro is £110. Every plan includes hosting, and online shops add £10 a month. Anything outside your plan is charged at our flat £30 an hour, with an estimate first. If you only need hosting, that’s £8 a month. More on what you pay for is in our website maintenance cost guide.
Do you maintain websites you didn’t build?
Yes, in many cases. Before we offer website maintenance services on a site we didn’t build, we look at how it’s built, to check we can update and support it properly. If something needs fixing before we can take it on, we’ll tell you what and give you an estimate in hours. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is hosting included?
Yes. Every Care plan includes fast UK hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups and uptime monitoring. If you only want hosting, without the updates and checks, our hosting is £8 a month. The comparison table above shows what each one covers.
How many edits are included?
If you’re comparing website support services, check how much change time each one includes. Care Plus includes 1 hour of changes a month, and Care Pro includes 3 hours. Unused time on Care Plus rolls over for one month. Care has no change time, so edits are charged at £30 an hour. Bigger jobs, like a new feature, get their own estimate before we start.
How do I keep my website secure?
Keep everything updated, use strong passwords with two-factor login and limit who has admin access. Keep daily backups, and check they actually restore. Add SSL, uptime monitoring and regular checks that your forms still send. Our Care plans handle the updates, backups and monitoring for you. See our security checklist. For the full picture, read our website security guide for small businesses.
Do you offer website maintenance in Bristol?
Yes. We’re a Bristol agency, and Bristol and Bath clients can meet us in person if they’d like. The maintenance itself is done online, so a Care plan works the same for a business anywhere in the UK: hosting, updates, security monitoring and monthly form and backup checks from £20 a month, with no contract.
Do you offer WordPress maintenance?
Yes. Our Care plans are WordPress maintenance and management for WordPress and WooCommerce sites. We apply plugin and core updates and check the site still works afterwards, watch security and uptime, and test your forms and backups every month. Plans start at £20 a month with hosting included, and Bristol clients can talk it through with us in person. Want a new WordPress site rather than care for an old one? See our WordPress website design.
Can I cancel?
Yes. None of our website maintenance packages has a minimum term or contract. Plans are billed monthly in advance, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. Once paid in full, your website, content and domain are yours, so you can take them with you.
