Keeping an eye on a live site

The quiet risk

Nothing Goes Wrong Until It Does

A plugin conflict on a Friday night. An expired certificate. A form that has not sent since March. Our website maintenance services make catching those somebody’s job, for web design in Minneapolis clients and sites we did not build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what people ask before they call.

Answering a maintenance question

How much should I pay someone to maintain my website?

For a professional website maintenance contract, you should expect to pay from $50 per month for a standard small business website, while active e-commerce stores or custom platforms typically start from $300 per month.

If you do not want a monthly subscription, you can pay a freelancer an hourly rate starting from $50 per hour on an as-needed basis.

How much does a website maintenance cost?

Professional website maintenance costs typically start from $50 per month for a standard small business marketing website.

For active e-commerce storefronts or complex membership portals, maintenance fees generally start from $300 per month, while custom enterprise applications can exceed $2,000+ per month.

If you prefer to pay on an as-needed basis rather than signing a monthly contract, hiring an independent freelancer for ad-hoc maintenance usually starts from $50 per hour.

Can I hire someone to manage my website?

You can absolutely hire a professional to manage your website. Outsourcing your website management frees up your time and ensures your site remains secure, fast, and up to date. Depending on your business needs, budget, and platform, you can hire an independent freelancer, a specialized website management agency, or a virtual assistant.

What if we did not build the site with you?

That is most of what we look after. We start with an audit so we know what we have taken on.

What is not included?

New pages and redesigns. Those are quoted separately so the monthly fee stays honest.
