COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Why do I need a website maintenance plan?

Websites need regular security patches, plugin updates, database optimization, and backup testing to prevent malware attacks, broken layouts, and slow loading times. Our plans automate these tasks and give you developer support on call.

How often do you backup my website?

We perform daily automated backups of your site's database and files, stored on encrypted off-site cloud servers (AWS S3). We keep up to 30 days of backup history, allowing instant restoration if an error occurs.

Do you offer support for content edits and updates?

Yes. Our maintenance plans include dedicated monthly developer hours for making content changes, updating images, adding blog posts, or tweaking layouts — without any extra invoice fees.

What happens if my website goes down or gets hacked?

We monitor your website uptime 24/7. If your site goes offline, our team is immediately alerted and begins resolution. If security is breached, we perform complete malware cleanup and database restoration from the last clean backup.
