Who We maintain sites for in Bradford
If you have a Bradford website that needs to stay fast, safe and current, this is for you.
You run the business; we keep your site running. Bradford's economy is small-business heavy, curry houses and independent restaurants, family-run trades, neighbourhood clinics and barbershops, and most maintenance is the quiet, unglamorous work that nobody sees until it is missing: backups, patches, uptime, speed, deliverable email, and the small edits that keep a site honest. Be fast, stay online, look the part on a phone, and keep customers able to book or ring. That is what maintenance buys you.
Curry houses & restaurants
Bradford's food scene never stops moving. Menu and opening hours changed the moment they change, online ordering on your own brand that stays online on a busy Friday, and email that keeps landing in the inbox, not the spam folder.
Trades & construction
Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers across the BD postcodes. A site that stays fast and online when the phone needs to ring, with opening hours and services kept current for you, not left to rot after the build.
Motor
Independent garages, MOT centres, valeting, tyre shops. Services and prices kept up to date where you want them, security patched, backups taken, and 'call now' working on every page.
Healthcare clinics
Dental, optical, podiatry and chiropractic across BD1 to BD18. Backups, patching and uptime monitoring on a site that takes bookings, so an outage never costs you a fully-booked afternoon.
Beauty & barbers
Bradford barbershops, salons and beauty bars from Manningham to Idle. A fast page that loads before a thumb gets bored, with price lists and team bios edited the same day, not next quarter.
Local services
Cleaners, removals, gardeners, tree surgeons, skip hire, accountants. Photos of recent jobs added, quote forms kept working, and the whole site backed up and patched so nothing quietly breaks.
What maintenance covers
The ten things kept running for you, every month.
"Website maintenance" should mean a real operational service, not a one-off build with a mobile number attached. The bottom of the market covers four or five of these and calls it done-for-you; a proper service covers all ten. For the full version, read what is actually included and what to look for in a maintenance subscription.
Fast hosting with uptime monitoring
Fast UK or EU hosting (Vercel London) with the site pinged every couple of minutes, so an outage is found and fixed before a customer calls. Strong historical uptime, not a shared box on whichever reseller is cheapest this quarter.
Daily backups, restore tested
Daily off-site snapshots plus full Git history, with a quarterly restore drill so the recovery path is known to work. A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a backup.
Automatic SSL, no manual handling
HTTPS that renews itself at the platform layer, so the padlock is permanent and never expires. No £79-a-year certificate to rotate by hand on a calendar nobody checks.
DNS managed for you
Your domain stays in your name, but the DNS records, A records, CNAMEs, MX for email, SPF, DKIM and DMARC for deliverability, are run for you on Cloudflare EU, so you never log into a registrar dashboard again.
Security patching, tested first
Patches go out on a tested schedule, in a preview before production, never on a Friday afternoon, never without a backup snapshot first. Bespoke sites carry a far smaller surface than a pile of WordPress plugins.
Core Web Vitals performance
Site speed is a ranking signal and a conversion lever, so loading is monitored and kept sub-second on mobile, not left to drift. Fast pages keep both Google and your Bradford customers happy.
Business email kept deliverable
Email on your own business name, set up and kept working so it stops landing in spam, whether that is forwarding to your inbox or transactional sending for booking confirmations.
Cookie-free analytics
See how many people visit your site, without tracking anyone or needing a cookie banner. EU-hosted and GDPR-friendly by default, with read access if you want to log in yourself.
Small content edits, usually same day
Text changes, image swaps, opening hours, a new service description, included, and usually done the same day. Bigger jobs we talk through, but the small stuff is just handled.
One named person to reply
You message us, one accountable point of contact, not a call centre or a rotating ticket queue. The people who reply know your site. Same-hour reply in working time.
All ten are included on every site we run, whatever the quote comes out at. Maintenance is not a bolt-on here, it ships as standard. If your current site needs the work doing on it, that is the managed website service, and if it needs rebuilding before it can be looked after properly, see web design in Bradford.
Maintenance versus management
Which one do you actually need?
They are easy to confuse, and providers blur them on purpose. Maintenance keeps the site you already have fast, safe and up to date: the ten items above, hosting, backups, SSL, patching, performance and small edits. Management is broader: it includes all of that, but adds the growth work, content, local visibility, bookings and marketing, that makes the site earn its keep. Most Bradford businesses want maintenance first and grow into management. For the full side-by-side, read website management versus maintenance.

FAQ
Bradford website maintenance, answered.
What does website maintenance actually cover?
The operational work that keeps a site fast, safe and current: fast UK or EU hosting with uptime monitoring, daily backups with a tested restore, automatic SSL renewal, DNS management, security patching tested before it goes live, Core Web Vitals performance, business email kept deliverable, cookie-free analytics, small content edits, and one named person to reply. It is a service that runs every month in the background, not a one-off build with a phone number attached.
How much is website maintenance in Bradford?
It is recurring, not a one-off, and it is quoted to your site rather than sold as a fixed package. Website management starts from £49/month, quoted to your business, and services may vary, so it scales with what the site needs. The way in is a free automated audit at /audit, and if you want the detail, a £300 Marketing and Automation Deep-Dive that gives you a written audit and a fixed quote, with the £300 credited against any work. No contract, no minimum term, cancel any time. If your site needs more than upkeep, bookings, marketing, content, that is factored into the quote.
What is the difference between website maintenance and website management?
Maintenance keeps the site you already have fast, safe and up to date: hosting, backups, SSL, patching, small edits. Management is broader: it includes maintenance, but also the growth work, content, local visibility, bookings and marketing, that makes the site earn its keep. Most Bradford businesses want maintenance first and grow into management. There is a full side-by-side on website management versus maintenance.
How often do you back up the site, and have backups been tested?
Daily snapshots off-site, plus full Git history, with a quarterly restore drill so the recovery path is known to work. A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a backup. If a content change breaks something, say a new menu on a curry house site the night before a busy weekend, the site can be rolled back rather than rebuilt.
If my site goes down at 11pm on a Saturday, who finds out?
Uptime monitoring pings the site every couple of minutes and raises an alert the moment it stops responding, so the fix can start before a customer ever calls you. Sites run on fast UK or EU hosting (Vercel London) with strong historical uptime. You message one named, accountable contact, not a rotating ticket queue.
Do I have to be in Bradford to work with you?
No. We are based in Pudsey (LS28), about a 15-minute drive from Bradford city centre, but the work happens remotely over email and video calls, so it makes no difference whether you are in Little Germany or out towards Ilkley. We maintain sites for businesses across Bradford, the BD postcodes and the towns next door, and beyond.
