Security drifts out of date
Unpatched software is the most common route in. Known vulnerabilities are public, and automated scanners look for exactly these.
Website Maintenance
Keep your website working after launch day
Updates, backups where applicable, security checks, content edits, bug fixes and performance monitoring for businesses in Pakistan and worldwide — so problems get caught before your customers find them.
The Problem
What happens to unattended sites
None of this is dramatic on day one — that's exactly why it gets missed.
Forms stop delivering
A changed email setting or an expired integration can silently break your enquiry form. Enquiries just stop, and nobody knows why.
Links rot
Pages you linked to disappear, files get renamed, and visitors — and search engines — start hitting dead ends.
Performance decays
Uncompressed images added over time, plus new scripts and embeds, gradually make a once-fast site slow again.
No usable backup
Plenty of sites have "backups" nobody has ever restored. An untested backup is a guess, not a safety net.
Content goes stale
Old prices, past events and departed staff quietly undermine trust — and are usually the easiest thing on the list to fix.
What's Included
What gets looked after
The exact scope is agreed with you — this is what maintenance can cover.
- Software updates — for CMS-driven sites, keeping core, themes and plugins current, applied carefully rather than blindly.
- Backups where applicable — set up so they can actually be restored, and stored somewhere you control.
- Security checks — reviewing user accounts, permissions, exposed endpoints and known vulnerabilities in what you run.
- Content updates — text edits, new images, added or retired pages, and seasonal changes.
- Bug fixes — layout breakages, broken forms, display issues on particular devices or browsers.
- Performance checks — re-measuring Core Web Vitals periodically and fixing what has slipped since launch.
- Monitoring — uptime checks plus broken-link and form-delivery testing, so failures surface early.
- Incremental improvements — small, steady changes rather than letting the site age until it needs replacing.
Process
How maintenance works
-
Step 01
Review the current state
Know what you're starting from
A check of what the site runs on, what's out of date, whether backups exist, and whether forms and links still work. You get the findings whether or not we go further.
-
Step 02
Agree the scope
Written down, not assumed
We agree what's covered, how often checks happen and how you report an issue — so expectations are clear on both sides from the start.
-
Step 03
Routine checks
The regular pass
Updates applied, backups confirmed, security reviewed, links and forms tested, and performance re-measured against how the site launched.
-
Step 04
Report and improve
You stay informed
A plain summary of what was done, what was found and what's worth improving next — so the site keeps moving forward instead of standing still.
Who It's For
Worth having if you…
- Have no one looking after the site
- Run a WordPress site with plugins
- Depend on enquiries from your website
- Update content but not the software
- Inherited a site from another developer
- Want one-off fixes without a contract

FAQ
Common questions
Do you maintain websites you didn't build?
Yes. The first step is a review of the existing site so you know its current state — what is out of date, what is broken and what carries risk — before any ongoing arrangement is agreed.
What happens if my site goes down or gets hacked?
How incidents are handled is agreed with you as part of the arrangement, including what is covered and how you report a problem. No specific response time is promised on this page, because it depends on the scope you choose.
Does a static website need maintenance too?
Less than a CMS-driven site, but it still benefits from content updates, link checks, form testing, performance checks and keeping any third-party embeds working.
Can you just fix one problem instead of an ongoing arrangement?
Yes. One-off bug fixes, speed work or content updates can be handled as a single piece of work without any ongoing commitment.
Who owns the backups and access?
You do. Hosting, domain and administrator accounts stay in your name, and any backup arrangement is set up so you can retrieve your own data independently.
