Crawford Software Works
Website Maintenance Plans for Small Businesses
Website maintenance plans for small businesses that want regular checks, practical updates, backups, security awareness and support after launch.
Website maintenance
Website maintenance that keeps your site looked after
A website should not be left untouched after launch. Pages need checked, software or CMS updates may need handled, backups should be understood and small content changes should not become a drama.
Crawford Software Works offers practical website maintenance for small businesses that want a direct point of contact and a calmer way to keep their site looked after.
What a maintenance plan can include
Plans can be kept light for simple brochure websites, or expanded where the site needs more regular checks, content work or technical support.
Updates
Website and CMS checks
Regular checks for updates, obvious issues and parts of the site that need attention.
Backups
Backup awareness
Help understanding what is backed up, how often and what can realistically be restored.
Security
Security and health checks
Practical checks around forms, login areas, SSL, plugins, stale files and other common risks.
Content
Minor content updates
Agreed small text, image or page updates without needing a new project every time.
Performance
Performance reviews
Light checks for slow pages, oversized media and avoidable issues that make the site feel heavier.
SEO
SEO, AEO and GEO checks
Practical improvement notes for search visibility, answer-style content and local relevance.
Practical fit
Useful when the site still needs care after launch
Maintenance suits businesses that rely on their website for trust, enquiries or information, but do not want to chase multiple suppliers for every small problem.
It is especially useful for WordPress websites, custom Crawford Software Works sites, small-business brochure sites and websites that are slowly growing into something more advanced.
Not everything should be bundled in
Minor agreed updates can be included. Larger redesigns, new systems, portals, automation or major feature work are quoted separately so the maintenance plan stays fair and clear.
Choose the level of support around the site
Light maintenance
Useful for simple sites that need occasional checks, minor updates and a clear person to contact.
Ongoing website care
Better for sites that need regular checks, reporting, backups, security awareness and content support.
Custom system support
For portals, dashboards, custom CMS tools or business workflows, support should be scoped around the actual system.
FAQs
Common maintenance questions
Do maintenance plans include large rebuilds?
No. Minor agreed changes can be included, but larger redesigns, new systems or major features are quoted separately.
Can you maintain a WordPress website?
Yes. WordPress support can include update checks, plugin awareness, content changes and advice where the site has suitable access.
Can maintenance include hosting?
Yes. Hosting, SSL, backups, DNS support and maintenance can be joined into a wider care plan where that is the best fit.
Do you support businesses outside Falkirk?
Yes. Crawford Software Works is based around Falkirk and Central Scotland, but many maintenance tasks can be handled remotely for UK businesses.
Need help keeping your website up to date?
Send your website address and a short note about what you need looked after. Andrew can suggest a sensible maintenance route based on the site, risk level and amount of support required.
