# Website Maintenance in Mansfield > Websites do not sit still. Plugins update, PHP versions get retired, certificates expire, and bots probe your login page a few hundred times a night. Maintenance is what stops that becoming your problem. **Provider:** Web Design Mansfield (a dijitul company) **Location:** The Bungalow, 11 St John Street, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire NG18 1QJ **Phone:** 01623 272050 **Email:** info@web-design-mansfield.co.uk **Price:** From £10/month, excluding VAT **Canonical URL:** https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-maintenance/ --- Most website disasters we get called about were preventable and cheap to prevent. A site goes down because a certificate expired. A store stops taking payments because a plugin update was skipped for eight months and then applied all at once. A site gets defaced because an abandoned plugin had a known vulnerability with a patch available since March. None of that is dramatic or interesting. It is just the consequence of nobody being responsible for the site between the day it launched and the day it broke. A maintenance plan makes that somebody’s job. Ours. ## What you get ### Updates applied on staging first Core, plugins and themes updated on a copy of your site, checked that nothing broke, then pushed live. The order matters — this is the difference between maintenance and just clicking "update all" and hoping. ### Daily off-site backups Stored somewhere other than your server, retained for 30 days, and — importantly — actually tested. A backup nobody has ever restored is a theory, not a backup. ### Uptime monitoring Checked every minute. If your site goes down at 2am on a Sunday, we know before you do, and often before any customer notices. ### Security scanning and hardening Malware scans, login rate-limiting, firewall rules, and a look at anything odd in the access logs. ### Small content changes included Price change, new team member, updated opening hours, a paragraph reworded. Most plans include a sensible amount of this without a separate invoice each time. ### A quarterly health check Speed, broken links, form testing, search visibility. Sent to you as a short report in plain English, not a 40-page automated PDF. ## What our plans cost Three tiers, and most local businesses sit comfortably in the first two. - Essential — £10/month. Updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning. For brochure sites. - Business — £25/month. Everything above, plus 30 minutes of content changes a month, quarterly reporting, and priority response. - Ecommerce — £45/month. Everything above, plus payment and checkout testing, stock integration monitoring, and same-day response. ## We will maintain sites we did not build You do not have to have bought your website from us. We take on other people’s sites regularly. We will do an initial audit first so we both know what we are inheriting — occasionally we find something bad enough that the honest recommendation is a rebuild rather than life support. ## What affects the price Starting price: From £10/month (excluding VAT). - Size and complexity of the site — a brochure site is not an ecommerce store - How much content editing you want included each month - Whether you need same-day response or next working day is fine - Whether hosting is with us or elsewhere ## Local context — Mansfield If your site is on our hosting in the UK and something goes wrong, you ring an 01623 number and speak to somebody who can open the server. No ticket queue, no "we have escalated this to our second-line team", no time-zone gap. For a lot of Mansfield business owners, that is genuinely the whole value proposition. You want to know that if it breaks on a Friday afternoon, a person you have actually met will sort it. ## Also known as website support Mansfield, WordPress maintenance Mansfield, website care plan Mansfield, website updates Mansfield, website management Mansfield. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I really need website maintenance? If your site runs on WordPress, or any platform with plugins, yes — the security case alone justifies it. If you have a purely static site with no database, the need is much lower and we will tell you so. ### What if my site breaks outside office hours? Monitoring runs 24/7 and we get alerted immediately. For total outages we respond out of hours. For "the contact form has a typo", that waits until Monday, which we think is reasonable. ### Is hosting included? Not in the maintenance price, but the two bundle well and most clients take both. Maintenance works fine on third-party hosting too. ### Can I cancel? Monthly, with no notice period and no exit fee. If we are not earning it, you should not be paying it. ## Related services - [Web Hosting in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/web-hosting/): UK servers, daily backups, and an 01623 number instead of a support ticket. - [WordPress Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/wordpress-web-design/): WordPress built the way it should be — light, secure and genuinely editable. - [Website Speed Optimisation in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-speed-optimisation/): Diagnose why it is slow, fix the actual cause, prove the difference. - [Website Security in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-security/): Hardening, monitoring, and cleaning up when something has already gone wrong. - [Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/web-design/): Websites that load fast, rank well and turn visitors into enquiries. - [Website Redesign in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-redesign/): Modernise what you have without losing the traffic you already earned. --- Web Design Mansfield — Mansfield’s digital agency — websites, SEO and marketing that bring in work.
