Website maintenance packages help you standardize support and price it clearly. This guide shows what to include in each tier and how to choose the right package for your site.

Need a baseline report before you package fixes? Start with the website audit tool.


Core components of website maintenance packages

Every package should include:

  • Security updates
  • Backups and recovery
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Basic performance checks
  • SEO hygiene (broken links, redirects)

Sample website maintenance packages

1) Essential package

Best for small sites with low change volume.

  • Monthly updates and security patches
  • Weekly backups
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Monthly report summary

2) Growth package

Best for marketing sites that update often.

  • Everything in Essential
  • Monthly speed and Core Web Vitals checks
  • SEO issue review and fixes
  • Content updates (up to a set limit)

3) Performance package

Best for ecommerce or high-traffic sites.

  • Everything in Growth
  • Faster response times
  • Conversion and UX review of top pages
  • Quarterly strategy review

Website maintenance package pricing

Pricing depends on site size, update frequency, and risk. Use ranges to set expectations:

  • Essential: $150 to $500 per month
  • Growth: $500 to $1,500 per month
  • Performance: $1,500 to $5,000+ per month

How to choose the right package

Ask:

  • How often does the site change?
  • How much revenue depends on the site?
  • How fast do you need fixes?
  • Do you need SEO or CRO support?

If your site drives revenue, do not pick the lowest tier. The cost of downtime is higher than the package upgrade.
