When most people think of websites, they picture the: design, colours, layout, and imagery. But the reality is, the real work starts after your site goes live. Keeping it up to date, secure, and running at its best takes time, attention, and a team who genuinely care about your goals. That’s where web maintenance services come in. And it’s where Social + makes all the difference.
What Are Web Maintenance Services, Really?
In simple terms, web maintenance is the regular check-up your website needs to keep performing. It includes everything from software and plugin updates to speed optimisation, backups, link checking, mobile responsiveness, and broken form testing.
But it’s not just about the tech. It’s also about keeping content fresh, reflecting your evolving business, and improving the user experience. A well-maintained website doesn’t just work, it works for you.
Why Web Maintenance Matters More Than You Think
A neglected website can cost you more than just a few missed leads. Outdated plugins or poor loading times affect SEO rankings, customer trust, and even security. Small errors like broken contact forms or missing images chip away at your credibility. Over time, it can start to feel like your website is working against you, not for you.
Proactive web maintenance helps you avoid this domino effect. Fixing a small issue today often prevents five more problems down the line, including downtime, poor performance, and frustrated users.
Keeping Your Website Secure
An under-maintained website is a hacker’s playground. We make sure your plugins, themes and systems are up to date, so there are no weak spots for bots or bad actors to exploit. We also monitor security alerts and patches, helping to keep your site protected and compliant before anything goes wrong.
Why Social + Is the Right Team for the Job
We get it, there are lots of agencies out there offering web maintenance services. So why work with us?
At Social +, we don’t just tick a maintenance checklist once a month and call it a day. We treat your website like it’s part of our team. We take the time to understand what your business needs now, and what it’ll need next.
Whether you’re running an eCommerce store, booking system, service site or blog, we make sure your website always reflects your brand, performs well, and helps you move forward, not hold you back.
Human-Led, Tech-Smart
We use smart tools and AI where it makes sense, automating security scans, performance checks and technical alerts. But we don’t rely on it. Your business deserves more than that.
Our team takes the time to manually test, troubleshoot and tweak. No AI can spot the nuance of a weirdly formatted mobile page or a misaligned call to action (CTA) like a human can. We bring a human touch to your digital world and that makes all the difference.
Clear Communication, Always
You’ll never be left wondering what’s going on with your website. Communication is one of our biggest strengths. We’re proactive, transparent, and friendly. You’ll always know what we’re working on, what we’ve fixed, and what we recommend next.
We don’t hide behind jargon or charge for things you don’t understand. If something needs doing, we’ll explain why, and we’ll make sure it aligns with your goals and budget. That’s the Social + way.
Built for Businesses Like Yours
We work with startups, growing brands, and established businesses who don’t have time to deal with updates, backups, or fixing things when they break. If that’s you, we’ve got you.
Whether you want us to quietly handle the tech stuff in the background or keep you involved every step of the way, our web maintenance services are built around what you need. And because we know things change fast in business, we stay flexible. Need something updated urgently? No problem. Got a new service or page you want live ASAP? We’re already on it.
Why Does My Contact Form Not Work?
This is one of the most common complaints we hear when new clients come to us. Often, a form that once worked fine suddenly stops sending emails or breaks silently in the background, costing you leads without you even realising.
Our ongoing maintenance includes proactive testing of your forms so issues are caught before your customers encounter them. If something does stop working, we fix it fast and make sure it doesn’t go unnoticed again.
Maintenance Goes Beyond the Basics
Our website maintenance doesn’t just mean keeping things running behind the scenes. We can also take care of on-page changes, whether it’s swapping out old content, uploading a new blog post, adding a team member, or refreshing visuals to match your brand.
In other words, we keep your site up to date both technically and visually so it always reflects where your business is going.
Let’s Future-Proof Your Website
If you’ve already invested time and money into your site, don’t let it slip through the cracks. Our web maintenance services are the best way to protect that investment, keep your site competitive, and avoid costly problems down the line.
At Social +, we combine smart tech with human intuition, and proactive planning with a personal touch. We’re not just maintaining websites. We’re supporting your business growth, online and beyond.
