Why it matters

Maintenance is a checklist, not technical theatre.

The most important maintenance tasks are not complicated: keep software supported, confirm backups complete, test forms, review contact details and remove outdated claims. The value comes from doing them consistently and knowing who responds when a check fails.

DigitalShift separates routine maintenance from improvement work. That makes the monthly service transparent and helps the business decide when a new page, conversion change or integration deserves a separate scope.

Questions before buying

Straight answers about website maintenance.

Need something specific? Email hello@digitalshift.com.au.

How often should a website be maintained?+

Business-critical checks such as forms, backups and software status usually need a monthly rhythm. Content and strategy benefit from quarterly review, with ownership and policy checks at least annually.

What is the difference between maintenance and care?+

Maintenance describes the actual technical and content tasks. A DigitalShift care plan is the ongoing commercial package that defines those tasks, support and change allowances.

Can you fix a neglected website first?+

Yes, after an assessment. Remediation is scoped separately so the ongoing maintenance price is not distorted by old unresolved work.
