Monthly maintenance isn’t mandatory, but it’s one of the smartest investments you can make
With a monthly maintenance contract, you reserve a set number of hours each month that cover management, updates, and support. For example, if something on your website suddenly needs to be changed or updated, we’ll be there right away to take care of it. Clients with a monthly maintenance agreement are always served as a priority.
- The monthly maintenance fee depends on the scope.
- We reserve a set number of hours per month — whether it’s 2 hours or 20.
- According to the agreement, we handle updates and the tasks you assign each month.
- A monthly maintenance contract guarantees that we’ll respond quickly and keep your website secure and running smoothly.
Examples of monthly maintenance costs
Larger clients are usually e-commerce businesses. For online stores, a reasonable monthly maintenance volume is about 20 hours per month.
Smaller clients are simple company websites, where 2–3 hours of maintenance per month is usually enough. We’ve also made quarterly agreements for cases where updates are less frequent.
≈ 2–3 h/month
Companies with lower activity that occasionally post news, need ongoing content updates, send newsletters, and so on. Businesses that want their website to remain secure and fully functional.
≈ 10–20 h/month
For more active companies that publish posts and news more frequently. Websites of this size are often multilingual and may run on multiple domains (for example, offices in several countries).
≈ 20–30 h/month
The monthly maintenance cost for online stores largely depends on whether the company manages the site itself or works with a partner like us. E-commerce sites require frequent updates, longer development tasks, and constant changes to the product catalog.

Should you choose a monthly maintenance package or not?
- It’s not always necessary. If a company has a very simple informational website, there’s often nothing that needs regular updating.
- For a small website, it may be enough to agree on software updates quarterly or every six months.
- For websites with more activity, larger scope, multiple integrations, or sensitive client data, updates need to be more frequent to keep the site secure and fully operational.
