A Late-Night Text and a Broken Website
Last year, one of our clients in Aylesford sent a panicked text around 11 PM. Their homepage had disappeared, the menu wasn’t loading on mobile, and they had a new product launch the next morning. Their old developer was unresponsive and unreachable.
Sound familiar?
Whether you're based in Maidstone, Canterbury, or Sittingbourne, keeping your website maintained isn't just about updates. It’s about peace of mind. It’s about knowing someone local has your back when things break — and things do break.
We sorted that client’s issue within the hour. Since then, we’ve handled their monthly maintenance and their website hasn’t gone down once.
Why Website Maintenance Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought
If your website is your digital shopfront, then maintenance is the lock on the door, the paint job, and the working lightbulbs. Most business owners don’t think about this stuff — until it stops working.
As a freelance web designer in Kent, I’ve seen all sorts of small businesses run into problems from neglected plugins, bloated themes, expired SSLs, or just plain old broken layouts. These issues tank your Google rankings, make your site slow, and cause customers to bounce.
Your website doesn't need to be fancy. It needs to work. Every time.
What You Get With Our Website Maintenance Services
Whether you're a tradesman in Rochester or a salon owner in Folkestone, we keep your site running the way it should. Here’s what our website maintenance covers:
🔐 Security & Protection
We run regular scans for malware, viruses, and vulnerabilities. If something looks suspicious, we fix it before it becomes a problem.
🔄 Software & Plugin Updates
We handle all the backend updates for WordPress, Shopify, or whatever CMS you're using. No “white screen of death” surprises.
🚀 Speed Optimisation
Slow sites frustrate users and destroy rankings. We audit and optimise performance monthly to keep your site lightning fast.
💾 Backups
We run daily and weekly backups stored off-site — so even in worst-case scenarios, you’re covered.
📱 Mobile Checks
Google ranks mobile-friendliness heavily. We manually test your site across devices to make sure it’s responsive and glitch-free.
🔎 Broken Link Scans
We identify and fix any 404s, broken images or outdated content that could be harming your SEO and credibility.
💬 Priority Support
Got a question or change request? You skip the queue. You speak to a real person (usually me or someone on my team) based right here in Kent.
Local Support, No Offshore Tickets
I’ve worked with local businesses from Ashford to Whitstable. I’ve had coffees with clients in Tonbridge who just wanted to understand what an SSL certificate was. And I’ve rebuilt broken pages for a Gillingham cafe — while on site, using their Wi-Fi.
When you work with us, you’re not logging into a faceless helpdesk. You're getting direct, Kent-based support from someone who knows the local scene and actually answers the phone.
Why Regular Website Maintenance Matters for SEO
Search engines love websites that stay updated, clean, and fast. Google’s algorithm watches for:
Broken links
Site speed
Mobile responsiveness
Updated content
Safe browsing (HTTPS)
Neglecting these isn’t just risky — it can actively hurt your visibility. We've seen clients in Chatham jump several spots on local search just from regular technical cleanups.
A tidy, well-oiled site = better rankings, more traffic, and more trust.
Affordable Packages for Kent-Based Businesses
We know not everyone needs the same level of support. So we offer flexible packages — from basic updates and backups, all the way to full-service plans with SEO and content support included.
Starting from just £45/month, we can build a plan that suits your size and budget.
No jargon. No hidden fees. Just honest local service.
