Monthly care · Tampa Bay
A website isn't a thing you buy once — it's a vessel that needs a crew. Our website maintenance plans give Tampa Bay businesses the steady, boring care that keeps a site fast, patched, and online: updates applied, backups tested, uptime watched, and a real human who answers when something breaks. Whether you need Tampa website maintenance for a simple static site or full WordPress maintenance with plugins and security patching, it's month-to-month, no lock-in, and everything stays in your name.
Maintenance plans have a reputation problem: vague deliverables, invisible work, and contracts that outlive the goodwill. Here's exactly what ours cover, what they cost in typical terms, and what they deliberately don't include.
Software and plugin updates applied on a schedule (not when something breaks), offsite backups we actually test restoring, uptime monitoring that pages us — not you — when the site goes dark, security patching, and small content changes: swap a photo, update hours, add a staff bio. And when something does break, you call a person who knows your site, not a ticket queue.
Typical ranges, so you can budget before we talk: basic care for a static site starts around $150 a month; WordPress maintenance runs higher because there's genuinely more to maintain — core, themes, plugins, and a database that all need watching. Sites with e-commerce or custom applications sit above that. Your actual number is always quoted fixed, in writing, before you commit to anything.
Most of the rescue jobs that reach us — hacked WordPress installs, sites down for days, checkouts silently broken for weeks — are really just maintenance that never happened, discovered at the worst possible moment. Our website rescue case study shows what that costs to undo. A care plan is the cheaper, calmer version of the same work, done before the storm instead of after. If you're not sure what shape your site is in today, a speed and security audit is the honest place to start.
A maintenance plan isn't unlimited development in disguise: redesigns, new features, and new pages beyond small content changes are scoped and quoted separately, so the plan stays cheap and the big work stays deliberate. Plans are month-to-month — cancel whenever, no wind-down fees — and your hosting, domain, and code stay in your name the whole time. If you leave, you leave with everything. For sites running older PHP codebases past their update horizon, our PHP maintenance and legacy support service picks up where standard care plans stop.
Good maintenance is a rhythm, not a reaction. Here's how a typical month runs on every plan — the same four watches, every month, whether or not anything goes wrong.
Core software, themes, and plugins updated on a staging copy first, then applied live once nothing breaks. Security patches jump the queue and go out the day they matter.
Backups run continuously, but this is the week we prove one restores — because an untested backup is a rumor, not a plan.
A pass over performance — slow pages, bloated images, expiring certificates — plus your requested small content changes: hours, photos, staff, seasonal updates.
A short report of what was updated, what we caught, and anything on the horizon — written for a business owner, not a sysadmin. All month long, monitoring stands watch.
Tell us what your site runs on and who built it — even if the answer is "no idea, we inherited it." We'll reply within one business day with the plan that fits, a fixed monthly price, and no contract to sign your life away on.
No ransom required. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
