Yes. Hosting, domain renewal and DNS management are part of every plan, and all of it is registered in your name, not ours.

Any time, with 30 days' notice. Your domain, hosting, code and analytics stay in your name, so nothing switches off if you stop working with us.

Website maintenance · Melbourne

Website maintenance you don't have to think about.

Updates, backups, monitoring and the small changes you'd otherwise chase someone for, handled every month by people who build sites for a living. One monthly plan, 30 days' notice to cancel, for sites we built and sites we didn't.

MonitoringDaily BackupsUpdatesSmall ChangesNo Lock-in

The note that lands in your inbox each month.

What's included in every plan

The work that keeps a site online, safe and current, plus a person to message when something needs changing.

Uptime & Security Monitoring

We're alerted if the site goes down, a form stops delivering or anything looks wrong, usually before you notice.

Daily Backups

Automatic snapshots every day, kept for 30 days and restored quickly if anything ever needs rolling back.

Updates & Upgrades

Dependencies, certificates and hosting kept current on a schedule, then re-tested on real phones.

Speed Checks

We keep checking the site stays fast on a phone as photos and pages are added.

Small Changes, Done

New photo, new price, new team member: message us on WhatsApp and it is handled within the response time in your plan.

A Monthly Note

What was updated, what we noticed and what's worth doing next, in one short plain-English email.

What a month looks like

Four things happen on every plan, every month, whether or not you ever message us.

Step 1
Monitor
Uptime, errors, form deliveries and certificate expiry, checked every day.
Step 2
Update
Dependencies and hosting patched; the site re-tested on real browsers and phones.
Step 3
Back up
A daily snapshot, kept for 30 days.
Step 4
Report
A short note in your inbox: what changed, what we would do next.

We watch all of it, so you don't have to.

One plan with everything in it.

Every site on a plan gets the same care, the quote reflects the site, and you cancel with 30 days' notice.

Response times are agreed in your proposal. Domain, hosting, code and analytics stay in your name whatever you decide.

Uptime and security monitoring, every day
Daily backups, kept for 30 days
Updates, certificates, hosting, domain and DNS managed
Content changes on request, over WhatsApp
Speed checked and kept as the site grows
A monthly note on what changed and what we would do next

Built somewhere else? We'll take it on.

Plenty of the sites we look after weren't built by us. If your previous designer has moved on, we start with a health check and get the accounts back into your name.

The health check

Who holds the domain, the hosting and the logins
Whether backups exist, and whether they restore
What is out of date, and what it would take to fix
How fast the site really is on a phone
Whether the enquiry form actually reaches you

You get a plain-English list before you commit to anything.

Then, on a plan

Accounts transferred so the domain and hosting are yours
DNS moved carefully so your email keeps working
Backups running from the first week
The out-of-date list worked through, in order
The same monthly note as every other site we care for

We'll need admin access to hosting and the domain, and we document what we find before changing anything.

Why a custom-coded site is lighter to look after

Site builders and platforms maintain their own software well. Here's where the ongoing work sits.

What platforms get right

The platform maintains its own software, security and hosting
Updates arrive without anyone having to schedule them
A dashboard you or your staff may already know

The ongoing work on those sites is usually in the layer on top: themes, plugins and keeping them compatible.

Where custom code makes it lighter

No theme or plugin layer to keep compatible, so maintenance is mostly monitoring and small changes
One team knows every line, so a change takes one message
We check speed and keep it, whatever gets added
Domain, hosting and code stay in your name, whatever you decide later

With less to keep compatible, the plan's time goes on monitoring and changes.

Price guide

What ongoing support usually costs, by how much work you need each month. Your written quote sets the figure for your site.

Support level	Price	What it covers
Basic maintenance	$150–250/month	Routine technical checks, updates and backups where applicable; minimal changes
Standard support	$300–500/month	Maintenance plus 1–2 hours of fixes, product edits, banners and small changes
Regular development	$750–2,000/month	Around 5–10 hours for improvements, troubleshooting and ongoing changes
Occasional help	$120–180/hour	Work billed as needed, without reserved availability

Quoted in writing, cancelled with a message.

We quote maintenance like everything else we build: a fixed monthly figure for your site, with what's included set out before anything starts. Every one of our website packages already carries a monthly plan (on Growth, A$75–2,000 a month + GST, depending on how much we do for you); this page is that plan on its own, for any site.

What does website maintenance actually include?

How much does website maintenance cost?

On a Growth site we built, A$75 to A$2,000 a month + GST: the low end is hosting, backups and small changes, the top end adds marketing material, graphic design, constant changes and code deployed as it's done. For any other site, it depends on the site and how much changes through the year, so each plan is a fixed monthly price, with what's included set out before anything starts. There's no lock-in: plans are billed monthly and cancel with 30 days' notice.
