Maintenance Services

The health of your website is essential for customer loyalty, driving more traffic and sales, boosting search engine ranking, and giving your users the best possible experience. If your site is outdated, they may go to your competitor instead.

Maintenance Packages For Your Website

After a website is built and launched, it should be regularly maintained to ensure it remains secure and up-to-date. Issues can crop up when sites aren’t routinely analyzed. A website that’s not maintained can cause problems with an organization’s reputation and work against all your other marketing efforts. Protect your investment.

FAQ

What's included in content updates?

Content updates cover any changes to your site's existing pages and structure. If it's already built, we can update it. Here's what that includes:

Text — additions, edits, deletions, or archiving. This includes adding news, events, announcements, or any copy changes across the site.

Images & graphics — swapping, adding, or removing photos, graphics, charts, and background visuals.
Pages — adding new pages using your existing design, or deleting and archiving pages you no longer need.

Navigation — straightforward menu changes: adding, moving, or removing items.

Documents & downloads — adding or removing PDFs and other downloadable files.

Videos — inserting, replacing, or removing a pre-edited video.

Links — adding, updating, or removing links. We also catch and fix broken links and 404 errors as part of routine maintenance.

Content updates don't include new page designs, custom functionality, or structural site changes — those fall under development work. If you're unsure which category your request falls into, just send it over and we'll let you know.

What is included in the *development work?

Development hours are applied to your site each month based on your plan. If you've submitted update requests, we handle those first. If updates require more time than your plan includes, we'll contact you before proceeding.

When no requests are pending, we put those hours to work proactively — but what that looks like depends on your plan:

Essential — we focus on technical hygiene: checking site speed, resolving broken links, and ensuring plugins and integrations are running cleanly. Low-risk, behind-the-scenes work that keeps your site stable.

Plus — in addition to technical upkeep, we identify one meaningful improvement each month — whether that's an on-page SEO tweak, a UX adjustment, or a conversion-focused change. We document the recommendation in your monthly report and implement it once confirmed.

Business & Enterprise — each month we prepare a short improvement brief outlining what we propose to work on and why. You review, approve, and we execute. This gives you full visibility and strategic input into how your development hours are used. All proactive work is logged and described in your monthly report — so you always know exactly what was done and what it's intended to achieve.

What if I need additional support during the month?
We will bill the additional time as a separate charge at the standard rate of $70 per hour.
I haven't signed up for any of the plans, how much will I pay for maintenance?
Rates are $125 per hour, billed in 30-minutes increments. Minimum of 1 hour.
Another web designer built my website, can I still use your service?
These plans are for Joomla! websites we built and host. However, we certainly welcome new clients who are looking for a long term relationship with Budō Creative. As long as your website is currently running on Joomla!, we can get you set up with a maintenance plan!
 
If your website is not running on Joomla, we can convert it. Please contact us to get started.
Are hosting, domain name, and SSL certificate included in your plan?
No, our maintenance plans do not include hosting, domain names, and SSL certificates
What is your cancellation policy?
You may cancel the Maintenance Services anytime 15 days before your renewal. You can request the cancelation from your dashboard account.
