What does website maintenance include?

Core software updates, security monitoring, malware scanning, automated backups, uptime monitoring and performance checks come with our managed hosting at $480 a year. Content changes are $120 an hour, or less when you prepay a block of hours.

Why is website maintenance important?

An unmaintained website becomes a security risk, loads slower, and eventually breaks. Outdated plugins are one of the most common causes of website hacks. Regular maintenance keeps your site secure, fast, and functioning correctly.

How often should a website be updated?

Security patches should go on as soon as they're released, because attacks often start within hours of a vulnerability being made public. We run updates weekly and apply urgent patches faster. Content should be reviewed quarterly to ensure pricing, services, and contact information are accurate.

Do you maintain websites you did not build?

Yes. We take on existing websites built on WordPress or other platforms. We start with a thorough audit to assess the current state before beginning ongoing maintenance.

What if I only need occasional updates?

That's fine. There's no monthly plan to sign up for. Updates are $120 an hour with a one-hour minimum, or prepay a block of hours to be billed in 15-minute steps and save up to 15%.

What happens if something breaks during an update?

We take a full backup before every update. If something breaks, we restore the previous version immediately. Our staged update process minimizes this risk significantly.

The usual frustrations with keeping a site running

If any of these sound familiar, your site is quietly getting slower, less secure and out of date.

Plugins haven't been updated in months, and you're afraid to click the button.
You've been hacked before, or you're worried you will be.
The site has been getting slower and nobody has looked at why.
Your hours, prices or staff page are out of date.
A small change takes a week, because the person who built it is busy. It's why we pair hosting with updates by the hour.

What's looked after

The technical upkeep comes with our hosting, and content changes are billed by the hour.

WordPress core and plugin updates: Weekly updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins, checked automatically after they run and rolled back if anything looks wrong.
Security monitoring: Continuous malware scanning, firewall rules, and login protection to keep your site and your visitors safe.
Performance monitoring: Regular speed audits and Core Web Vitals checks to catch and fix performance issues before they affect your rankings.
Daily backups: Automated daily backups with one-click restore so your site is always recoverable.
Content updates: Small text changes, image swaps, page additions, and other content updates, billed by the hour in 15-minute steps when you prepay. No waiting on developers.
Uptime monitoring: 24/7 uptime monitoring with instant alerts so we can respond immediately if your site ever goes down.

Why updates can't wait

Attacks often start within hours of a vulnerability being made public, and outdated plugins are one of the most common ways in.

Weekly updates, urgent ones faster

We run updates every week and apply urgent security patches sooner, then check the site afterwards.

A backup before every update

If something breaks, we restore the previous version straight away. The staged process keeps that rare.

Sites we didn't build

We take on existing WordPress sites and others, starting with an audit so we know what we're looking after.

Only need the odd fix? That's fine too. Updates are $120 an hour, or less with prepaid hours. If your site needs a bigger rethink, start with website design.

How we take over your site

An audit, then a cleanup, then ongoing upkeep, and you'll always know what we changed.

Site audit

We audit your current site (plugins, performance, security, and hosting) to document the baseline and flag any immediate issues.

Onboarding and access

We get secure access to your hosting, WordPress admin, and any tools needed to manage your site properly.

Initial cleanup

We apply any pending updates, remove unused plugins, and resolve any existing issues found in the audit.

Monitoring setup

Uptime monitoring, backup schedules, and security scanning are configured and verified.

Ongoing upkeep

We keep updating and monitoring the site, and tell you what we changed, so it stays healthy and you stay informed.

Priority support

When something goes wrong or you need a quick change, you reach us directly, not a support ticket queue.

Camrin and CSP Marketing Solutions built our website for the Waterloo Regional Kart Club on WordPress and Elementor Pro. As a volunteer-run racing club, we needed something our executive team could manage on their own, and that's exactly what we got. Highly recommend CSP for any organization looking for a reliable web design and hosting partner.

Dealing with Camrin has made a significant positive impact on our business. The new website is easy to use, targeted to our client market, and Google rankings are going up every day. Our Google Ads were so effective we had to ask Camrin to take them down for a while because we couldn't keep up with the business!
