Websites / service guide

Find the right website maintenance specialist.

Keep a site updated, secure and useful after its launch.

What should the work include?

Ask for deliverables that can be checked, reviewed and handed over. A useful proposal should explain the process as well as the finished result.

  • Software updates and backups
  • Monitoring and small content changes
  • Recovery process and support response

What changes the price?

Providers need enough detail to estimate the same piece of work. These points often explain why two quotes differ:

  • Platform and hosting setup
  • Support hours and response commitment
  • Security, integrations and change requests

Questions to ask before choosing

  • How often are backups tested?
  • What is excluded from support?
  • What happens if the site goes down?

Compare the support agreement, response times and ownership of backups.

How to compare proposals

Put each provider’s deliverables, timetable, ownership, support and exclusions side by side. Request clarification where an item is vague. A lower quote can be good value, but only when it covers the work you actually need.

Check whether hosting, licences and development hours are included in the monthly fee.
