    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does website maintenance cost?

    Basic website maintenance typically costs $50-200/month depending on complexity. More comprehensive packages including content updates and SEO monitoring range from $200-500/month.

    Can I do website maintenance myself?

    Basic tasks like content updates are manageable. However, security updates, performance optimisation, and technical maintenance often require professional expertise to avoid breaking your site.

    What happens if I neglect website maintenance?

    Neglected websites face security vulnerabilities, slower load times, broken features, declining SEO rankings, and ultimately may require a complete rebuild rather than simple updates.

    How often should I update my website content?

    At minimum, review content quarterly. Active blogs should post weekly or fortnightly. Key pages like services and pricing should be updated whenever your offerings change.
