After the website goes live
Website Maintenance for Small Business, Clearly Scoped
Website maintenance for small business should say what is covered, how to request a change and what costs extra. Our contractor care proposals separate hosting and technical work from content updates and ongoing SEO.
Tell us where your site is hosted and how it was built. We confirm whether it fits our care service before agreeing a plan.
Know who looks after the essentials
A hosting plan should identify responsibility for the website, HTTPS, domain settings and form delivery. We put the work we will handle in writing and flag the accounts or subscriptions you need to keep active.
Care needs depend on the platform. A static website does not have the same plugin workload as a WordPress site. We scope the service around the website you actually have.
Keep services and project details current
Use the agreed change process when you add a service, change your coverage or want to replace a project photo. The proposal sets out the included allowance, the information we need and how extra work is priced.
A new set of pages, a booking integration or a full redesign can be a separate project. You get a scope before that work begins.
Care and SEO have different scopes
Technical care keeps agreed parts of the site under review. An ongoing SEO campaign adds its own priorities, content work and reporting. Do not assume a hosting fee includes a full search campaign.
If you are moving from another provider, we first need to establish ownership, export options and access. We will not promise a transfer before those details are clear.
How your project works
See the site. Then decide.
- 01
Tell us about the work
Send the form or request a video call; we send your Teams link separately. We ask about your services, service area and the jobs you want.
- 02
Agree the price and scope
You get a written fixed price, page list and project scope. You know what is included before the build starts.
- 03
Review your website
We build your site for review. Check the words, design and details, and approve the agreed work before paying.
- 04
Pay, then launch
Once payment clears, we put the approved site live. Your website belongs to you; ongoing services are listed separately.
Questions before you start
Is ongoing care part of the website build price?
The build and ongoing services are listed separately in the proposal. Check the agreed scope for hosting, updates, integrations and any third-party fees.
Does a care plan guarantee search rankings?
No. Care and SEO are different scopes, and neither includes a guarantee of search positions or a fixed number of leads.
