Maintenance: keeping your website fit.
A website is never “finished”. Here you learn what maintenance is, what it does and whether you need it.
By Patryk Awierianow ·
Maintenance means we keep the technology, security and background details of your website current. That includes updates, backups, monitoring and speed. Maintenance is an add-on you do not have to take. It does not give you a Google ranking, it provides a clean technical foundation.
Why a website has to be looked after
A car needs servicing even when it runs well. A website is similar: technology, security and the requirements of Google and AI searches keep changing. A site nobody looks after becomes slower, less secure and harder for search engines to read over time.
- Security: outdated technology is an entry point. Updates and security settings close gaps before they are exploited.
- Speed and technology: standards change: loading time, mobile view, structured data, accessibility.
- Visibility: broken links, wrong redirects and missing details cost hits on Google and AI searches.
What happens during maintenance
- Updates and security: server, software and security settings current
- Backups: regular copies so your site is back online quickly in an emergency
- Monitoring: we notice when your site is not reachable
- Speed: check loading time, optimise images and files
- Technology for Google and AI: titles, descriptions, sitemap, redirects, broken links and structured data
- Changes: text, prices and images by agreement
- Monthly report: what was done and what we measured
Also for websites that are not ours
We check your existing website and tell you honestly what is needed. If a rework is enough, we do it at extra cost. If a rebuild pays off, we help with the relaunch, where your old addresses and links are kept.

Yes. We check your site first and tell you honestly what is needed.
Will I get better rankings from it?
We cannot guarantee that. Maintenance keeps the technical foundation in order. For more reach we additionally recommend SEO.
