02 — The problem
What breaks when nobody is watching.
A website is software, and software ages. Updates pile up until two of them conflict and something on the page stops working. Backups quietly stop, and nobody notices until a restore is the only thing that matters. Pages get slower a few hundred milliseconds at a time as scripts and images accumulate. Security patches sit uninstalled while the holes they close are public knowledge.
Then there is the content. Hours from last season, a price that changed months ago, a staff page with someone who left, links that lead nowhere. None of this announces itself. Your customers see it before you do, and most of them leave without telling you why. Maintenance is the scheduled work that keeps all of it from happening.
03 — The plan
What $197 a month covers, as a checklist.
The whole plan is one number and one list. If a task keeps your site fast, safe, and current, it is in here.
- Hosting, updates, and backups handled.
- Uptime monitoring.
- Unlimited small changes on request: text updates, new photos, new pages for offers.
- Priority support: you message me, I handle it, usually within a day or two.
- Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
The plan itself, how it pairs with a tune-up, and its own FAQ live on the care plan page. If you want the site found more often, not just kept healthy, the growth plans sit on top of this one.
04 — Pricing
The price is right there.
Black Friday price $98.50, regular price $197/month CAD
First 12 months, then $197 a month
The same number for every client, printed on this page. There is no audit-then-invoice dance and no quote form that goes quiet for a week. When I researched web studios in the region in October 2026, none of them published a maintenance price, so comparing providers here usually means filling in forms and waiting.
I would rather you see the number first and ask questions after. It sits beside my build and tune-up prices on the pricing page.
05 — Who it fits
Sites I built, and sites I did not.
Care is the fourth step of my own process: most sites I build stay on the plan after launch. StaySitSnuggle.com, a pet-sitting site here on Vancouver Island, is one I maintain today, and the rest of the live sites are on the homepage.
Takeovers are the other half of the plan: a site someone else built, where the designer moved on and nobody has touched it since. I start by auditing what you own, the domain, the hosting, and the state of the code. If the site is healthy, care starts right away. If it needs repair before monthly care makes sense, that repair is the $497 website tune-up, also a published price, and the plan picks up from there.
06 — Service area
Covered from Courtenay, across the island.
Everything on this plan happens over email and a screen: the monitoring, the updates, the changes you ask for. Maintenance is remote-native, so it works the same wherever on the island your business sits. I am based in Courtenay and serve Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Campbell River, Duncan and the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Port Alberni, Powell River, and Victoria. I take on remote clients across Canada too.
07 — FAQ
Questions I get about maintenance.
What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site healthy after launch: software and content updates, backups, security checks, speed, and uptime monitoring. On my plan it also covers the small changes you ask for, like new photos, new text, or a new page for an offer. It is $197 a month, flat.
What does website maintenance include?
My plan includes hosting, updates, backups, uptime monitoring, priority support, and unlimited small changes on request. You message me, I handle it, usually within a day or two. It does not include full redesigns or brand-new sites; those are separate, published prices: $497 for a tune-up and $1,997 for a build.
How much does website maintenance cost on Vancouver Island?
With me, $197 CAD a month, flat, in writing, cancel anytime. Most studios in the region only quote maintenance privately, so comparable local numbers are hard to find. The price is the same whether you are in Courtenay, Nanaimo, or Victoria, because the work is remote-native.
Do you maintain websites you did not build?
Yes, takeovers are welcome. I start with a look at what you own, your domain, your hosting, and the state of the code, then tell you plainly whether the site is ready for care or needs a $497 tune-up first. Either way you keep ownership of everything.
