Website Care & Maintenance for Small Businesses

Website Care is for an existing site that needs routine monitoring and checks, plus up to 2 hours of minor edits each month. It is not an unlimited repair, development or store-management service.
Think of it like maintaining a vehicle. Skip the oil changes and nothing breaks today — but eventually something expensive does, usually at the worst possible moment.
We review platform compatibility and access before starting. If a check reveals a larger problem, we explain it and agree a separate scope rather than treating every repair as included.
Why this matters for small and local businesses
An unmaintained website slowly degrades. Pages get slower, software falls out of date, security holes open up, and small glitches pile up. Customers notice before you do — and they rarely tell you; they just call a competitor.
Security matters more than most owners realize. Small business sites are constant targets for automated attacks, and a hacked or defaced site can cost you rankings, customer trust, and days of downtime.
Your business also changes — new services, new photos, seasonal offers, staff changes. A maintained website reflects the business as it is today, not as it was two years ago.
What's actually included in maintenance
The $150/month starting plan covers routine website monitoring and checks, with up to 2 hours of minor edits per month. We review the pages and contact paths customers use and identify issues that need attention.
Minor edits can include supplied text corrections, photo swaps and updated hours within the monthly allowance. New pages, redesigns, major repairs and Shopify store operations are custom quoted.
Security and backups: the insurance policy
Backup and security options depend on the platform and hosting arrangement. We review what is available and flag gaps; off-site backups, recovery work and security repairs are not blanket promises within the routine checks allowance.
If software updates or recovery need work beyond minor edits, we confirm the scope first. No maintenance plan can guarantee that a website will never be compromised.
Speed and performance over time
Sites naturally slow down as content grows and software ages. Periodic performance checks keep load times fast — which matters for both your customers and your Google rankings.
If your site was built by us as part of our website design service, maintenance keeps it performing the way it did on launch day.
A real person when you need one
The most underrated part of maintenance is simply having someone to call. A question about changing your hours, a form that stopped sending, a weird email about your domain — you get a straight answer from someone who already knows your site.
What usually goes wrong without it
- Your site hasn't been updated since it launched and you're not sure what's outdated.
- A contact form or feature broke and nobody noticed for weeks.
- You have no backups — one bad update could erase the site.
- Small text changes take days because you have to find and hire help each time.
- Your site got slower over the years and you don't know why.
- You worry about security but have no idea whether your site is protected.
When was your website last checked?
If you're not sure, that's normal — most owners aren't. Call or text and we'll do a quick health review: security, backups, speed, and anything obviously broken. You'll know where you stand in one conversation.
How Gravity Content Agency approaches it
Prevent problems instead of reacting
Routine checks help identify issues before they interrupt customers. Repairs beyond the minor-edit allowance are quoted before work begins.
Plain-English communication
When something needs your attention, we explain what it means for your business — not in technical jargon.
Small changes included
Text updates, photo swaps and minor tweaks fit within the 2-hour monthly allowance. Additional work is custom quoted.
Honest advice
If something doesn't need fixing, we'll say so. If a bigger issue is coming — like aging software — we'll warn you early with options and prices.
