How Does St. Louis Web Design Company Maintain Your Website?

Our devs will perform routine maintenance, implement necessary updates, and check that your website’s features continue to function properly. We’ll also look for compatibility issues and other technical problems that could affect your customers’ experience.
Troubleshooting and Ongoing Improvements
Even the most well-maintained site can encounter unexpected issues. When problems arise, we’ll investigate the cause and find a solution. As your business grows, we can also recommend technical improvements to support your shifting needs.
What Do Our Website Maintenance Services Cover?
Your website is more than a collection of webpages. It’s a connected system of software, hosting infrastructure, content, and third-party tools that need to work together seamlessly. Our developers can assist you in maintaining each of these components.
Content Management System (CMS) and Plugin Updates
We can maintain WordPress installations, themes, plugins, and other CMS components to address compatibility problems and correct software issues. These tasks will ensure your site remains secure and functional.
Website Security and Backups
Security updates, backup management, and vulnerability checks help to protect your website’s files and information from malicious actors. We’ll review the safeguards you need and address potential problems before they cascade into larger issues.
Website Performance and Hosting Support
Several performance-based problems like slow-loading pages, server issues, and unexpected downtime can affect your customers and your business. We’ll investigate performance problems, troubleshoot hosting environments, and work to improve your site’s reliability.
Forms, Features, and Integrations

Common questions
What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance is the ongoing process of updating, monitoring, and improving a website to keep it functioning well. It may include things like software updates, security checks, backups, performance improvements, and troubleshooting broken features. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your website and reduce avoidable technical issues.
How much does website maintenance cost in St. Louis?
The cost of a website maintenance plan depends on several factors: your site’s size, its complexity, the software you use, and particular maintenance requirements. A straightforward WordPress website with a few pages requires less maintenance than a custom-built site with ecommerce capabilities or third-party integrations. At St. Louis Web Design Company, our website maintenance packages cost anywhere from under $200 and up to $1,000 or more depending on your needs.
How often does my website need maintenance?
At a minimum, your website should undergo routine maintenance at least once a quarter. However, St. Louis Web Design Company highly recommends monthly site maintenance to stay ahead of security risks and maintain hassle-free operation.
Can St. Louis Web Design Company maintain a website that another company built?
Yes, our developers can evaluate sites developed by other website maintenance agencies or independent developers. We’ll audit your existing platform, hosting environment, integrations, and administrative access to determine which maintenance services we can offer. You don’t necessarily need to rebuild your entire site to improve its functionality or reliability.
Does website maintenance help with SEO?
Yes. Website maintenance supports several factors that can influence search engine performance: page load speeds, mobile usability, broken links, and site crawlability. Maintaining a functional, accessible website helps provide a better experience for visitors and shows search engines your site is trustworthy. Remember, though: An ongoing SEO strategy and content development are separate from routine technical maintenance.
