Software doesn’t stay healthy on its own. Frameworks release updates. Security vulnerabilities get discovered. Performance degrades over time. Servers need patches. Without regular maintenance, your product slowly becomes outdated, insecure, and unreliable.
Maintenance is proactive care. We handle updates, backups, and monitoring so you don’t wake up to emergencies.
Maintenance covers everything that keeps your product healthy, secure, and performing well.
When vulnerabilities are discovered, we patch them fast. Critical security issues are addressed within 24-48 hours. You stay protected without having to track security bulletins yourself.
CMS updates, framework upgrades, dependency updates. We apply them monthly on a scheduled basis. Updates are tested before deployment to ensure nothing breaks.
WordPress plugins, npm packages, composer dependencies. We keep everything current and compatible. Outdated plugins are one of the most common security risks.
Regular automated backups of your site or app. Standard frequency is weekly, but we can adjust based on how often your content changes. Backups are stored securely and tested for restoration.
We monitor your site 24/7. If it goes down, we know before you do. Monitoring catches outages, slow responses, and SSL certificate issues. You won’t be the one finding out from a customer complaint or a missed sale. We catch problems early and often have them resolved before users notice.
We track load times, Core Web Vitals, and server performance. When something starts degrading, we catch it early before users notice.
Every month you receive a summary of what we did:
| Task | Frequency | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Security patches | Within 24-48 hours | Critical vulnerabilities patched immediately |
| Platform/CMS updates | Monthly | Scheduled, tested before deployment |
| Plugin/package updates | Monthly | Compatibility verified |
| Backups | Weekly (default) | Adjustable based on your needs |
| Uptime monitoring | 24/7 | Continuous automated checks |
| Performance monitoring | Continuous | Trends tracked, anomalies flagged |
| Reports | Monthly | Summary of all maintenance activity |
Need daily backups? More frequent updates? Different monitoring thresholds? We customize maintenance schedules based on your product’s needs and how critical uptime is to your business.
Software doesn’t age gracefully on its own. Without active care, your product slowly becomes a liability instead of an asset.
An unpatched WordPress site is a target. An outdated framework has known vulnerabilities. Attackers scan for these weaknesses constantly. Regular maintenance closes these gaps before they’re exploited.
Databases accumulate cruft. Log files grow. Cache systems get stale. Performance degradation is often invisible until it’s severe. Monitoring catches slowdowns early.
PHP versions update. Hosting environments change. Third-party APIs evolve. What worked last year might not work next year. Regular updates maintain compatibility.
When something goes wrong, backups are your safety net. Without them, recovery means rebuilding from scratch. Weekly backups mean you never lose more than a week of work.
Maintenance costs are predictable. Emergency repairs are not. A security breach can cost thousands in cleanup, legal fees, and lost business. A compatibility break during a critical period can halt operations. Performance degradation drives away customers so gradually you don’t notice until it’s severe.
Regular maintenance is insurance. The monthly cost is tiny compared to the potential cost of neglect.
Maintenance is proactive prevention. For reactive fixes, you need Support.
For reactive support, add a Support package or get the Bundle for complete coverage.
Content updates, CMS patches, plugin management, performance optimization. Websites need regular care to stay secure and fast.
Framework updates, dependency management, database optimization, API maintenance. Complex applications need ongoing attention to stay reliable.
Core updates, plugin updates, theme maintenance, WooCommerce patches, security hardening. WordPress sites are frequent targets and need regular security updates.
OS compatibility updates, push notification maintenance, app store compliance, crash monitoring. Mobile apps need updates to stay compatible with new iOS and Android versions.
From €50/month
Pricing depends on your product complexity, number of sites/apps, and maintenance requirements. All packages include:
3 months free for okto-digital projects. Every website, web app, or mobile app we build includes 3 months of maintenance as part of our standard warranty.
Note: Maintenance does not include fix hours. For bug fixes and on-demand changes, add a Support package or choose the Bundle.
Common questions about our maintenance services.
Maintenance (this page): Proactive. Prevents problems. Includes updates, backups, monitoring, and monthly reports. No fix hours.
Support: Reactive. Fixes problems when they happen. Includes SLA response times and 1 hour/month for fixes. No monitoring.
Bundle: Both together at 20% discount. Complete coverage.
Yes. Maintenance-only makes sense if you’re comfortable with slower response times for incidents but want proactive prevention. Without Support, incident response time is 48 hours (vs 1-8 hours with Support).
Security patches are applied within 24-48 hours of discovery. Regular updates (CMS, frameworks, plugins) are applied monthly on a scheduled basis.
Yes. Daily backups, or even more frequent for high-transaction sites, are available. Just let us know your requirements.
We test updates before deployment. If something does break, we roll back immediately and investigate. With a Support package, fixes are covered by your SLA. Without Support, we’ll address it within standard response times.
Monthly reports summarize everything we did. For significant updates or any issues discovered, we’ll notify you directly.
We can customize which components we maintain. Some clients handle content updates themselves while we manage security and technical updates. We’ll work out an arrangement that fits your workflow.
Monthly reports show exactly what we did. Every security patch applied, every update completed, every backup verified. You’ll see uptime statistics, performance trends, and any issues we identified. Transparency is part of the service.
We’ll assess current state and recommend a catch-up plan. Severely outdated sites might need a one-time update project before ongoing maintenance makes sense. We’ll be honest about what’s needed and what it will cost.
We recommend against pausing because security vulnerabilities don’t pause. But if you need to, we can discuss options. Resuming after a gap might require a catch-up assessment to address anything that accumulated during the pause.
Maintenance is month-to-month with no long-term contract required. However, the 3-month free warranty period for okto-digital projects provides a good trial period to experience the value before deciding whether to continue.
