What a website maintenance plan actually covers
A website is not finished at launch. Frameworks and plugins release security patches, hosting changes, forms quietly stop sending, and content goes stale. Our website maintenance service puts a named developer in charge of all of that every month: dependency and security updates on a schedule, uptime and Core Web Vitals monitoring, tested backups with a rollback path, and a queue for content edits and small improvements.
Every month you get a one-page report: uptime, speed trend, what was done, hours used, and one specific recommendation. Nothing is hidden, and unused hours are reported rather than silently expiring. Emergencies such as a site that is down, a broken checkout or a security incident jump the queue on every plan.
Monthly website care plans for Next.js and WordPress
Plans start at $90 a month for Care (monitoring, updates, backups and one content-edit hour), $220 for Care+ (four developer hours, same-week turnaround and monthly performance reports) and $480 for Care Pro (eight hours, a 24-hour response SLA, quarterly design refresh and A/B test support). All plans are month to month with no lock-in.
We maintain Next.js and React sites, static sites and WordPress. A large share of maintenance work is keeping WordPress installs patched, fast and backed up. For sites we did not build, we start with a one-day onboarding audit so we know exactly what we are guarding, and the audit fee is credited to your first month.

Care: $90/mo
Monitoring, updates, backups, 1 content-edit hour. For sites that just need someone watching them.

Common questions
Do you maintain sites you didn't build?
Yes, after a one-day onboarding audit so we know what we're guarding. Audit fee is credited to your first month.
What counts as an emergency?
Site down, checkout broken, security incident. Emergencies jump every queue at every tier.
Do unused hours roll over?
One month forward, and we tell you when you're leaving hours on the table. No silent expiry.
Can I cancel anytime?
Monthly, no lock-in. We'd rather keep you with good reports than with a contract.
WordPress too?
Yes. A large share of Care work is keeping WordPress installs safe and fast.
What's in the monthly report?
Uptime, speed trend, work performed, hours used, and one specific recommendation. One page, readable in two minutes.
How much does website maintenance cost per month?
Northcave care plans cost $90, $220 or $480 a month depending on how many developer hours and how fast a response you need. All plans are monthly with no lock-in.
Do I really need website maintenance?
If your site takes enquiries, bookings or payments, yes. Unpatched software is the most common way small business sites get hacked, and a broken form can cost weeks of leads before anyone notices.
