Love the Results
If I may just say, I’m beyond impressed! More has been done on our website today than in the previous 6 months [with a previous provider]! I created ticket after ticket asking about the Yoast SEO, the 13 updates that needed to be done and the inactive plug-ins and nothing was done until the same day I told them I was going to leave. THANK YOU! I have a warm and fuzzy feeling that I’ve made the right choice. Nothing was ever explained to me either, and I feel so in control of this whole process now, thank you for treating me as an adult instead of just saying “because”!

This is amazing. I have never had anyone give me this much information about the status of my website and what’s being done to make it as efficient and clean as possible. It’s more than I truly understand but also makes me feel empowered to be engaged.

The Importance of Website Maintenance Packages
Website maintenance is no longer just a nice-to-have. These days, your business's online presence is key to winning over clients and maximizing growth.
In fact, it is now considered vital to have website maintenance performed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, depending on the complexity of your site. This ensures that your business is insulated from security breaches, lagging site speed an other unpleasantries.
In addition, website maintenance for small businesses will ultimately have an impact on:
- User experience
- Security
- Brand perception
- Search engine optimization strategies
Without website maintenance, there is not only a risk to the security of your site, but also potentially losing customers who will leave your site if it is slow, outdated or unappealing. Avoiding these issues is as easy as including website maintenance and updates into your budget.

TYPES OF PAYMENT STRUCTURES FOR
WEBSITE MAINTENANCE PACKAGES
The payment structure at Studio Barn Creative for our website maintenance packages is monthly with a blending in of retainer hours. Every website service provider has their own way of creating a plan for their clients. Before getting started with us on your website maintenance package, we want to explain the differences between these payment structure types.
-
Pay-as-you-go
website maintenance allows clients to pay for updates and monitoring as they need it. This approach may be beneficial for small startups who need to control all costs. However, it isn’t the most efficient option because it is difficult to know when updates will be needed and what a monthly spend would be. In addition, this structure isn't set for automated updates and therefore clients would be required to request the website maintenance and updates that they needed.
-
Retainer hours
for website maintenance allows clients to pay up front for a specified number of developer hours per month. These hours will then be used as needed. For example, if a client pays for three retainer hours per month, they can use of this time to ask for any type of website updates. This includes content changes, user experience optimization, SEO tasks etc. Once these hours are used, additional fees apply if additional work is requested.
-
Monthly
website maintenance packages include a pre-defined set of tasks that are being performed each month. This plan offers the most frictionless approach to your maintenance needs (and why we offer it here at Studio Barn Creative). Developers complete a checklist of tasks without a client's prompting. Monthly website maintenance packages may even have different tiers available (like ours), so you can choose the level of site maintenance that your business needs.
