Maintenance, Hosting & Support
Updates, backups, security, speed monitoring and small content changes. The first three months are free with a new site, then 50 to 100 KM per month. I also take over sites I didn't build.
In short: the first three months are free with every new site. After that, maintenance is optional — the site is yours and you can maintain it yourself, and I'll show you how. This is for people who don't want to think about whether the backup ran.
Why a website needs maintenance at all
A website isn't a painting hanging on a wall. Domains and certificates expire, hosting changes versions, forms stop sending email with no warning, and search engines change what they look for. Most of the breakage I fix didn't happen because someone broke something — it happened because nobody checked in for a year.
The security angle is more concrete than people expect. A neglected site usually doesn't get "hacked" because of who you are — it's because automated programs constantly scan the internet looking for outdated versions. Once they find one, they usually use it to send spam, and you only find out once your emails start landing in spam folders.
What the subscription covers
- Updates — every component of the site is kept on current versions, with a check that nothing broke afterward.
- Backups — regular copies stored separately from the site, and — more importantly — periodic checks that they can actually be restored.
- Uptime monitoring — I get notified if the site goes down, usually before you notice.
- Security — certificate, headers, monitoring for suspicious traffic, emergency patches.
- Speed monitoring — measured monthly, because speed degrades gradually and imperceptibly.
- Small content changes — changing text, prices, hours, adding photos. You send a message, it's done the same or next day.
- Domain & hosting — I keep track of renewal deadlines so your site doesn't disappear over a missed email.
What's not included
New pages, redesigns, new functionality and bigger changes are quoted separately, with a fixed price before work starts. The line is simple: maintenance preserves what exists, anything that adds something new is a separate job. I won't charge you the subscription and then bill every single edit on top — but I also won't let a new section of the site sneak in disguised as a "small change".
Taking over a site I didn't build
I also take over sites I didn't build. Before the subscription starts, I do a review: what condition it's in, how neglected it is, whether there are accumulated problems that need fixing first. You get that assessment with no obligation — if it turns out a new site would actually serve you better than patching the old one, I'll tell you that directly.
If you currently have no idea what shape your site is in, start with a free analysis: send the link and within 48 hours you get findings on speed, mobile display, and what Google can't read.
Hosting
I can set up hosting in your name or take over your existing one. Sites I build are hosted on infrastructure with a global network and a free certificate, meaning fast loading even for visitors outside the region. You get the access — I never register hosting in a way that keeps it tied to me.
