What are Website Maintenance Services?

There is much more involved in the hosting and maintenance of a website than what you might think. Many of the cheap hosting services lure in customers with a false sense of what is needed to host and maintain your most valuable business asset, your website. Think of what we do as maintaining the health of your online presence. Without this maintenance, your site is much more likely to have downtime or worse, be hacked!

Below is a list of the ongoing, and often weekly, services we are providing to keep your website safe.

review us on
Working with Melissa of Simplified Website Design was a stress-free and educational experience. When I started my own business I attempted to create a website on my own but it ended up looking unprofessional and my lack of website design knowledge kept me from taking my online presence to the next level. I contacted Melissa and we created a brand new website for my business within 6 weeks. All of our communication was via email or phone conversation and once the website was ready to publish Melissa walked me through the back end so I knew how to update content in the future. She also broke down SEO (search engine optimization) for me and helped me come up with key terms to attract new clients through Google search results. I am so happy with the final result and receive compliments from prospective clients all the time. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to build a modern, user-friendly and beautiful website. Thanks Melissa!!
I greatly appreciate how easy it is to communicate with Melissa. She has (patiently) walked me through several tech oriented features that enhance our visibility. Highly recommend Simplified!
Response from the owner: Oh Lecy! Thank you so much for this sweet review. It has been a pleasure working with you over the years.
I am a member of the board of directors for Rocky Mountain Honor Flight, a Colorado non-profit association that supports local Veterans. When it came time for us to update our website and establish a more secure and reliable web host, we chose Simplified Web Design. Melissa and her staff have been incredible to work with. They started by taking the time to learn what it is we do and how we do it. They worked to understand the critical requirements of our website and our goals with the re-fresh of our site. Melissa's team provided an excellent structure to organize our data and fresh new design ideas to really make our website POP and work as efficiently as possible. The team also collaborated with our other vendors to ensure the website integrated our donation and online application processes seamlessly. The teams commitment to on-going support has also been outstanding, always available to help answer questions and guide us to enable self operation as much as possible. All this was done right on budget and with excellent communication throughout. On behalf of RMHF, we thank Simplified Web Design for all they have done, and all they are doing to support our mission.
Response from the owner: Julian! Thank you so very much for your thoughtful feedback! It was such a pleasure working with you and Rocky Mountain Honor Flight. We love our non-profit clients.

Website Maintenance Services FAQs

While there is an agreement to sign, we only require a 30 days notice to cancel or change your plan. You are free to change your mind at any time about your plan level and if you need to cancel, we can easily transfer the hosting into your name! Versus other companies that require file migration.
Although we do promise to do everything in our power to prevent that from happening, some things are out of our control and we cannot promise that your website will never be hacked, go down or break. We have monitors in place 24/7 to alert us if your site is ever down. We will work fast to assess the issue and implement a speedy fix.
We feel very strongly about choosing the right host. If you are being hosted by and exceptional host such as WP Engine or SiteGround, we would consider it with an up-charge of 20%. Otherwise, we prefer to keep things as efficient as possible using our host, Kinsta.
We will first want to do a website audit to make sure your website is in good health and a good fit for us. We would then discuss any issues that need addressing on the front-end and a plan that fits your needs best. If you decide you would like SWD to rebuild your site with our tools, you receive our exclusive monthly hosting and care plan discount.
For optimal security, you MUST keep secure passwords. And because we don’t have time to visit each site that we manage daily or weekly, it is your responsibility to frequently visit your site and notify as soon as possible if you find things are broken or out of place.

Our website maintenance service does not include website edits, but we do offer this service at our hourly rate of $85.

The purpose of our Website Maintenance Service is to prevent this from happening, so ideally this won’t be the case. However, software as a whole is imperfect and things do break, and servers do go down. In that situation, we’ll be notified, investigate the situation, and get to working on the issue as soon as possible.

See the question “My website is down, what do I do?” if your site is currently down. If we encounter a problem, we will troubleshoot and likely need to roll it back to a safe and previous version at no charge.

If your site breaks due to plugin or theme incompatibility, we will troubleshoot to find a solution and fix the site. Since we cannot guarantee compatibility between all plugins and themes, some scenarios require that we invoice to invoice for the time it takes to fix the issue.

If your website is not loading, first check your site in a private or incognito window. Then, to make sure this is the same experience for everyone go to Down For Everyone Or Just Me https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com

→ If the website is down just for you, try clearing your browser history (cache and cookies) and reload with page.
→ If the website is down for everyone, send us an email, although our uptime monitor may have already alerted us to it.

→ If this happens outside office hours, determine how urgent this is for your business and either reach out to us the next business day or send us an email with “URGENT” in the subject line. A couple of common reasons your website might be down are:

  • Your domain has expired and the bill is due for payment
  • The web host is experiencing maintenance issues
  • If it’s neither of these things, we will investigate so we can get your site back online quickly.
CDN, a content delivery network refers to a geographically distributed group of servers which work together to provide fast delivery of internet content. A CDN allows for the quick transfer of assets needed to load your website page’s content, including HTML, javascript files, stylesheets, images, and videos.

We do! We specialize in local Search Engine Optimization and would be happy to discuss those options with you! See our SEO Services for Small Businesses page.
