Website Maintenance Packages for Small Businesses
Your website isn't a set-and-forget project. It's a business asset — and without regular maintenance, it's quietly losing you enquiries, trust, and search visibility every month. Our website maintenance packages give you UK-based support, proactive security, and monthly reporting so you can focus on running your business instead of worrying about your site.

Why ongoing website maintenance matters
Most small businesses launch a website and never touch it again. The developer moves on. Updates stop. The site gets worse — slowly at first, then noticeably. 43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber breach last year. A single cleanup costs £200–£1,000 — more than a full year of our Basic maintenance package.
Security falls behind
Expired certificates trigger "Not Secure" warnings. Outdated plugins create vulnerabilities that anyone can exploit — the WordPress ecosystem recorded nearly 8,000 new vulnerabilities last year alone. Visitors leave, and attackers notice before you do.
Speed degrades over time
Bloated images, outdated scripts, and server drift slow your site down. When load time creeps from 2 to 5 seconds, bounce rate jumps from 9% to 38%. Google notices too — and quietly pushes you down the rankings.
Content goes stale
Old prices, outdated services, a broken contact form nobody spotted for three weeks. An unmaintained site erodes trust without announcing itself. Your website is often the first impression a new customer gets — if it looks neglected, they move on.
Automations break silently
A broken follow-up sequence or a contact form that stops sending notifications is a lead leak. You lose enquiries you never even knew you had. We've seen businesses lose weeks of leads before anyone noticed.

What monthly website maintenance includes
Here's what we actually do each month. No vague promises — this is the work that keeps your site secure, fast, and generating enquiries.
Security updates and monitoring
Software, plugins, and SSL certificates kept up to date. We monitor for vulnerabilities and patch issues before they become problems. If your site gets compromised, the fix is included — not an extra charge.
Performance and speed checks
Monthly speed audits across mobile and desktop. We identify and fix anything dragging performance down — image compression, script bloat, caching issues. Your site stays fast, your visitors stay on it.
Monthly plain-English reporting
How many people visited, how many enquired, which pages performed best, and what we did that month. Built for business owners, not marketers. You'll always know whether your site is pulling its weight.
Who our website maintenance packages are for
Whether you're a tradesperson whose developer went quiet, a local business with a site that hasn't been touched in two years, or a shop owner dealing with plugin headaches — our maintenance packages are built for business owners who'd rather focus on their work than worry about their website.
You don't need to be technical. You don't need to know what a plugin is. You just need someone who'll look after your site properly — and tell you honestly when something needs attention.
We work with small businesses across Buckinghamshire and the rest of the UK, from sole traders to teams of 20. If your website matters to your business, it's worth maintaining.

Frequently asked questions about website maintenance
Common questions about our website maintenance packages and care plans.
How much does website maintenance cost?
For most UK small businesses, website maintenance costs between £50 and £150 per month depending on what's included. Our Maintenance package starts at £80/month and covers security, performance, uptime, and reporting. The Care Plan at £120/month adds content changes, automation monitoring, and quarterly strategy calls. To put it in context, a single emergency fix from a broken plugin or security breach typically costs £200–£400 — more than a month of either package.
What does a website maintenance package include?
At minimum, any decent maintenance package should cover software and plugin updates, security monitoring, regular backups, and uptime tracking. Our packages go further — we include monthly performance checks, plain-English reporting, and break-fix support at no extra cost. The Care Plan adds content updates, lead flow monitoring, and a quarterly strategy call. The key question to ask any provider: if something breaks after an update, is the fix included? With us, it always is.
Do I need a website care plan?
If your website generates enquiries, takes bookings, or represents your business to potential customers — yes. A website care plan is the difference between catching a broken contact form in 24 hours and losing three weeks of leads before anyone notices. 43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber breach last year. A care plan isn't an optional extra — it's how you protect a business asset that works for you around the clock.
Can you maintain a WordPress website?
Yes — and WordPress sites need regular maintenance more than most. The WordPress ecosystem recorded nearly 8,000 new vulnerabilities last year, primarily in third-party plugins. We handle core updates, plugin and theme updates, PHP version compatibility, database optimisation, and security hardening. If you're running WooCommerce, we also monitor checkout flows and payment integrations. We maintain WordPress websites for small businesses across the UK.
What's the difference between website hosting and website maintenance?
Hosting is where your website lives — the server that keeps it online. Maintenance is keeping your website healthy — updates, security, performance, and content. Your hosting company keeps the server running. We keep your website working. Most hosts don't update your plugins, test your forms, check your page speed, or tell you when something's broken. That's what website maintenance covers. Our packages work alongside your existing hosting — no lock-in, no forced migration.
Can you maintain a website you didn't build?
Yes. We'll start with a site audit to understand the platform, hosting setup, and any existing issues — then bring it under our care. If there are problems that need fixing before we can take over maintenance, we'll tell you upfront and quote separately for the remediation work. We currently maintain sites built on WordPress, Astro, and static HTML.
How do I request a content change?
Email or message us. Describe what you need — update a price, swap a photo, add a new service page — and we'll get it done. No support tickets, no portals, no logging into a CMS. The Maintenance package covers bug fixes and technical work. The Care Plan includes up to 5 hours of content changes and website improvements per month.
What happens if my website goes down or gets hacked?
We fix it. If your site goes down, gets compromised, or something stops working, we're on it. We monitor your site proactively, so in most cases we'll spot and resolve a problem before you even notice it. Break-fix support is included in both packages — you won't get an invoice for emergency work.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
Rolling monthly after an initial 3-month commitment. After that, cancel with 30 days' notice. We don't lock people in — if we're doing a good job, you'll stay because you want to. The 3-month minimum gives us enough time to complete an initial audit, resolve any inherited issues, and establish a proper maintenance rhythm.
How often should a website be maintained?
Security patches and plugin updates should be applied weekly — or as soon as they're released for critical vulnerabilities. Performance checks and content reviews work well on a monthly cycle. A full site audit covering broken links, outdated content, and SEO health should happen quarterly. Our maintenance packages handle all of this on a structured schedule so nothing gets missed.
Dedicated website maintenance support — not a freelancer who's gone quiet
With Loxvik, you get a named point of contact who knows your site, responds within 24 hours, and actually does the work. Your website is on our radar every month — whether you contact us or not. We catch problems before you notice them, and when something needs your attention, we explain it in plain English. Every website maintenance relationship at Loxvik is founder-led.
What else is included with every website maintenance plan
Content updates and changes
Update a price, swap a photo, add a service — just tell us and it's done. No CMS logins, no waiting a week for a reply. Care Plan clients get up to 5 hours of changes included every month.
Automation and lead flow monitoring
We check your forms, confirmation emails, follow-up sequences, and CRM sync every month. A broken automation is a lead leak — we make sure it doesn't happen. This is included in every website care plan.
Quarterly strategy call (Care Plan)
Review performance, plan improvements, and make sure your website is continuously getting better — not just maintained. We'll tell you what's working, what isn't, and what to do next.
How ongoing website maintenance helped a Buckinghamshire plumber sustain 150% more enquiries
A Buckinghamshire-based plumbing company partnered with Loxvik to replace their outdated website with a conversion-focused build — then kept it performing with an ongoing website maintenance package.
Loxvik rebuilt our website and within a month we were getting more enquiries than we'd had in the previous quarter. The automated follow-up alone has been a game-changer — we haven't missed a single lead since.
