Website maintenance · South Africa
Keep your site secure, fast, and up to date
Website maintenance for South African small businesses. We handle the technical upkeep so you never have to think about it. From R995 per month.
What goes wrong without maintenance
A website is not a one-time job
Outdated software
WordPress plugins, themes, and core files need regular updates. An outdated site is a security risk and often breaks without warning.
Site goes down
Hosting issues, expired domains, and plugin conflicts can take your site offline. Without monitoring, you may not know for days.
Performance drops
Sites slow down over time as plugins accumulate, images grow, and caching breaks. A monthly check catches this before it affects rankings.
Content gets stale
Phone numbers change, services get added, prices update. Without someone to make the changes, the site drifts out of date.
Available for websites built by Groundwork Digital only
Our maintenance packages are designed specifically for Next.js sites we have built. This is not the same as the Growth retainer, maintenance keeps your site healthy and running, while the Growth retainer actively grows your search visibility through ongoing SEO work. Both can run alongside each other.
Packages

Essential, Business, and Growth, each with a different level of support. All plans are month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel.

Frequently asked
Is this only for sites you built?
Yes, our maintenance packages are designed for websites built by Groundwork Digital on Next.js. We know the codebase, the hosting setup, and the configuration, which means we can maintain it properly.
What's the difference between maintenance and the Growth retainer?
Maintenance keeps your site healthy and running - updates, uptime, backups, and small content changes. The Growth retainer actively grows your search visibility through SEO work, blog content, and keyword tracking. They serve different purposes and can run alongside each other.
What counts as a content update?
Text changes, image swaps, adding a new service to a page, updating contact details, or publishing a blog post. Anything that requires editing existing pages rather than building new ones.
What if I need more than the included hours?
Additional hours are available at R400/hour. We'll always let you know before doing work that goes beyond your plan.
Can I cancel?
Yes, monthly with 30 days notice. No long-term commitment required.
Do you monitor uptime automatically?
Yes. We use automated monitoring that alerts us immediately if your site goes down. We investigate and resolve the issue before contacting you with an update.
