Website care, hosting and maintenance
Website maintenance services, handled with care.
Our website maintenance services come as one website care plan for $600 a year. We host your site, update its software every month, back it up every week and make small content changes when you ask. It suits small business owners who would rather not manage their website themselves.
What our website maintenance services cover, and what they don’t.
Website maintenance packages can be hard to compare from one website maintenance company to the next. Here is exactly what ours covers for a website we build: website hosting and maintenance in one place, with one team to contact.
Website care
For a website we build
Hosting and SSL
Your site lives on our hosting, with an SSL certificate so its address starts with https and the connection is encrypted.
Software updates
Once a month, we update the software your website runs on so it stays current.
Weekly backups
We back up your website every week, so a recent copy of your site is kept.
Small content changes
New hours, a fresh photo, an updated price or a line of text. Send us the change and we make it.
One flat price, $600 a year.
For a website we build, care is $600 a year on either of our priced website tiers. For a site built elsewhere, we start with a site review, and the quote follows from what the site needs.
Our website maintenance plans are priced by the year, so you know the cost before care starts.
What care does not include
Care plans do not include security monitoring or uptime monitoring. Bigger changes, such as new pages, new features or a redesign, are not part of care. Ongoing SEO campaigns are a separate add-on.

A steady routine, week after week.
Here is the routine, from weekly backups to monthly website maintenance:
Weekly: we back up your website.
Monthly: we update the software your site runs on.
On request: send us a small change and we make it.
Year-round: we host your site, with SSL.
Our website management services run in the background.
You run your business, and we keep your website current, the way it was on launch day.
Built somewhere else? Let’s take a look.
Yes. Small business website maintenance on a site we did not build starts with a site review, because every site is built differently and we look before we quote.
After the review, we explain what care would cover and what it would cost. If a rebuild would serve you better than care, we will say so.
Every care plan is handled by Elev8 Growth Solutions in Dracut, Massachusetts, the same team that designs and builds our websites.
Website care, in plain answers.
How much does website maintenance cost?
Website maintenance with Elev8 costs $600 a year for a website we build, on either of our priced tiers. That covers hosting and SSL, monthly software updates, weekly backups and small content changes. For a site built elsewhere, we quote after a site review.
What does website maintenance include?
For a website we build, our care plan includes hosting and SSL, monthly software updates, weekly backups and small content changes. For a site built elsewhere, the site review sets what care covers. Care does not include security monitoring or uptime monitoring, and ongoing SEO campaigns are a separate add-on.
What is a website care plan?
A website care plan is ongoing upkeep for a website that is already live, priced by the year. One team looks after your site, so you have one place to send changes instead of managing it yourself.
How often is the site updated and backed up?
Software updates happen monthly and backups run weekly. Small content changes are made when you ask for them.
Do you maintain websites you didn’t build?
Yes, after a site review. We look at how the site is built and hosted, then quote a care plan that fits it.
Do you offer WordPress website maintenance?
Yes. We offer WordPress website maintenance. If your WordPress site was built somewhere else, care starts with a site review.
What counts as a small content change?
Things like updating text, swapping a photo, changing your hours or editing a price on an existing page. New pages, new features and redesigns are bigger jobs and are not part of care.
Does website maintenance include blog posts?
No. Writing or posting blog posts is not part of care. Care covers small content changes on pages that already exist, like new hours, a fresh photo or an updated price.
