Website maintenance, Leeds.
Your Leeds website kept fast, safe, and up to date, run by one person from Pudsey. Fast hosting with uptime monitoring, daily backups, automatic SSL, security patching tested before it ships, Core Web Vitals performance, business email that keeps landing in the inbox, and small edits done the same day. A recurring monthly service, not a one-off build you never hear about again. From £49 a month. One bill, no lock-in, you always get Jordan.
Who I maintain sites for
If you have a Leeds website that needs to stay fast, safe and current, this is for you.
You run the business; I keep your site running. 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.
Trades
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, joiners, decorators, locksmiths. 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.
Healthcare clinics
Dentists, physios, chiropractors, aesthetic clinics. Backups, patching and uptime monitoring on a site that takes bookings, so an outage never costs you a fully-booked afternoon.
Beauty & hair
Hairdressers, barbers, beauty salons, nail bars. A fast page that loads before a thumb gets bored, with price lists and team bios edited the same day, not next quarter.
Motor
Garages, MOT centres, car dealers, valeting, tyre shops. Services and prices kept up to date where you want them, security patched, and 'call now' working on every page.
Hospitality
Cafés, restaurants, takeaways. Menu and opening hours changed the moment they change, a site that does not fall over on a busy Friday, and email that keeps landing in the inbox.
Home services
Removals, cleaners, gardeners, tree surgeons, skip hire. 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. Hand-built 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 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 me, Jordan, not an account manager, a call centre or a rotating ticket queue. The person who replies is the person who knows your site. Same-hour reply in working time.
All ten are included on every site I run, from £49/month upward. 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 Leeds.
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 Leeds businesses want maintenance first and grow into management. For the full side-by-side, read website management versus maintenance.

FAQ
Leeds 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 Leeds?
It is recurring, not a one-off, from £49/month on the Get Online plan, which covers the operational baseline for a site that already exists. There is a one-time launch fee that is waived when you prepay a year. No contract, no minimum term, cancel any time. If your site needs more than upkeep (bookings, marketing, content), the higher plans add that work, but pure maintenance starts at £49/month.
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 Leeds 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, 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 person, Jordan, not a rotating ticket queue.
Do I own my site if I am only paying for maintenance?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name and your code is yours throughout. There is no lock-in: if you ever leave, you get a copy of everything plus notes on how to put it live, so the work is always yours to take elsewhere. Maintenance is a service you rent, not a hostage situation.
Do I have to be in Leeds to work with you?
No. I am Pudsey-based (LS28) but the work happens remotely over email and video calls, so it makes no difference whether you are round the corner or across Yorkshire. I maintain sites for businesses across Leeds, the LS postcodes and the surrounding cities, and beyond.
