Maintenance questions
What counts as website maintenance?
Everything that keeps the site alive after launch: hosting and domain renewals, plugin and theme licenses, software updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks, and the small fixes that pile up. On plugin-based platforms like WordPress, updates alone typically need attention weekly.
Why should I count my own hours?
Because they are the biggest hidden cost. An hour you spend updating plugins or fighting a broken layout is an hour not spent on your actual business. Pricing that time at your real hourly value shows what DIY maintenance truly costs.
What does professional website care cost?
Simov Studio's care plans run $50-300 per month. The $100/month Growth plan covers updates, backups, security monitoring, speed work, and support for most sites. Details are on the pricing page.
Is cheap hosting really a cost?
Often, yes. Budget hosting shows up as slow load times, which Google measures through Core Web Vitals and visitors feel directly. If your site is slow, run the numbers through the Speed Score Explainer before assuming hosting is where to save.
