Launching your website is an exciting moment. After weeks of design, development, and planning, your site is finally live for the world to see. But here’s the reality: a website isn’t a “set it and forget it” project. Much like a car or a home, your website needs regular maintenance and occasional updates to stay in top shape.
Your Website Is Live—Now What?
Once your site is live, it enters a new phase: ongoing performance, security, and usability. Websites require software updates, plugin management, backups, and general monitoring to ensure nothing breaks and everything runs smoothly. Without regular maintenance, you risk slow load times, outdated content, and even security vulnerabilities.
That’s why it’s important to ask your designer or agency what happens after launch:
• Is hosting included, or do I need to manage that?
• Do you offer support or maintenance plans?
• Who handles plugin or platform updates?
• What if something breaks—can I contact you?
What We Offer at Chico Web Design
At Chico Web Design, we believe in long-term partnerships, not just project handoffs. That’s why we offer a range of post-launch services to support your site well beyond the initial build.
Website Maintenance Plans
We offer monthly maintenance plans that include regular updates, backups, security monitoring, and performance optimization. These plans are ideal for businesses that want peace of mind and professional oversight to prevent issues before they happen.
Hourly Updates & Content Changes
Need to update your hours, add a new photo gallery, or tweak some content? No problem. We offer content and design updates at our standard hourly rate. Whether you make changes occasionally or often, we’re here when you need us.
Hosting Services
Don’t want to worry about where your site lives? We’ve got you covered. We provide fast, reliable hosting for our clients with optional SSL certificates, staging environments, and email integration. Having hosting and site management under one roof makes support and troubleshooting much faster.
Clear Ownership & Support
When we launch your site, you own it—but you’re never alone. We’ll show you how to log in, use the dashboard, and make basic updates (especially if we built it using WordPress + Elementor). And if you prefer us to make all the changes, we’re happy to take care of it—just send us the updates!
Keep Your Investment Working for You
Too many websites are launched and left to rot. Don’t let yours be one of them. Whether it’s adding fresh content, protecting your site from hackers, or keeping it optimized for speed and search engines, regular maintenance keeps your investment working for your business long after the launch date.
