Website Maintenance for Rochester, NY Businesses
Monthly hosting, security, performance monitoring, and content updates — without surprise hourly bills.
Quick answer
Monthly hosting, security, performance monitoring, and content updates — without surprise hourly bills.
A website is not a one-time purchase. The site we ship will run reliably on Vercel for years — but performance, SEO, content, and security all need ongoing attention if you want the site to keep generating leads. Most agencies charge $50–$200/hour for any post-launch work, which means most small businesses defer maintenance until something obvious breaks.
We offer flat-monthly maintenance plans starting at $99/month so you can budget what the site costs to run. The basic plan covers hosting, SSL renewal, dependency updates, performance monitoring (Lighthouse weekly), and unlimited small content edits (an hour's work per month). Higher tiers add active SEO work, monthly blog posts, A/B testing, and quarterly redesigns.
This is the right call if you don't want to think about your website. The wrong call if you have technical staff who can handle updates themselves — in that case, just buy the site outright (Starter / Growth / Authority pricing) and skip the retainer.

Common questions
Website maintenance — answered
- Do I need a maintenance plan?
- Honest answer: not necessarily. The site we ship will run reliably on Vercel for years without intervention. You need maintenance if (a) you want ongoing SEO work, (b) you want regular content updates without a per-change invoice, or (c) you don't want to think about it at all. Otherwise, just pay-as-you-go (we charge $50/edit).
- What if I want a bigger change than "small edit"?
- Anything over 1 hour of work is quoted separately at $100/hour for retainer clients ($150/hour for non-retainer). For example, adding a new service page, restructuring the nav, or building a custom form.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes — month-to-month, no annual contract. We give a 30-day heads up before any pricing change. The site itself is yours regardless of whether you stay on a retainer.
- What about when something actually breaks?
- Standard SLA is next-business-day response for Growth retainer, same-day for Authority. Honest emergencies (site fully down) get same-day attention regardless of tier. We don't do 24/7 phone support — we're a small agency.
