Keep your website secure, up to date and working properly with website maintenance from Budget Websites. Our WordPress maintenance plan costs $140 a month and suits small businesses in Brisbane and across Australia.
Who it's for
Website maintenance is for business owners who'd rather spend their time running their business than updating plugins and worrying about security. It suits WordPress websites we've built, as well as existing WordPress websites built by someone else. Your website stays with your current hosting provider, and we look after the website itself.
What's included
WordPress, theme and plugin updates
Every month we check for and install the latest WordPress, theme and plugin updates, making sure your website's uptime isn't affected, so it stays fully functional and secure.
Security
We install and configure a security plugin on your website. If something goes wrong, we can detect and clean up website infections and fix crashes to protect your data and keep your website secure.
Monthly website reports
Each month we send you a report on your website, including the WordPress, theme and plugin updates we've made, sitemap checks and security updates. We're always here if you have a question or need help with your website.
Content updates
We're happy to save you time by updating your website content, images (including image optimisation), events, videos and other items. Content updates cost $70 per hour.
Why website maintenance matters
Outdated WordPress plugins and themes are one of the most common ways websites get hacked or stop working. Regular updates fix security holes and bugs, keep your website compatible with new browser and server versions, and help it load quickly, which also matters for your Google rankings. A small monthly plan is usually far cheaper than repairing a broken or hacked website.
How it works
Website check
We look over your website, confirm it runs on WordPress and note anything that needs fixing first.
Set-up
We install and configure a security plugin and bring WordPress, your theme and plugins up to date.
Monthly care
Every month we install updates and check that your website is working properly.
Monthly report
You receive a short report showing what we updated and anything we noticed.
Questions about website maintenance
Do you provide website hosting?
No. Your website stays with your current hosting provider, and we take care of the website itself. If your hosting is causing problems, such as a slow or unreliable website, we can help you move your website to another provider as part of our website repairs service.
Can you maintain a website you didn't build?
Yes. Our maintenance plan suits most WordPress websites, whoever built them. If your website needs repairs before we can maintain it, we'll let you know and quote for the work first.
Can I cancel my plan?
Yes. Maintenance plans can be cancelled with 30 days' written notice. See our Terms of Service.
