For a small-business website, maintenance can include content updates, troubleshooting, new pages, hosting coordination, and practical improvements after launch. You send the request directly to me, and I tell you what the work involves before I start.
What website maintenance can include
- Content updates
- Price changes, new hours, edited service descriptions, photos, staff notes, or event details.
- Troubleshooting
- Broken links, layout issues, form problems, odd mobile behavior, and other problems I can reproduce and reasonably fix.
- New pages
- Simple service pages, campaign pages, seasonal updates, or landing pages when the business changes.
- Hosting coordination
- Help understanding a host, domain, DNS, or platform issue and coordinating the parts I can access. Your provider still controls its own systems and support.
How website support requests work
Email me the site address, what you want changed, and any timing constraints I should know about. I will look at the request, ask for access if it is needed, and explain the likely scope before work begins. Some businesses need occasional help; others keep a small recurring list. Either arrangement starts with the actual work, not a package you have to fit into.
Planning range
Lamplight’s recurring website-care work usually falls between $75 and $350 per month. That is a planning range, not an unlimited package or a response-time guarantee; scope, platform, update volume, and urgency affect the quote. Hosting and other provider charges remain separate. For machine-readable details, see the pricing file.
What maintenance does not cover
Website support is not round-the-clock emergency monitoring, unlimited changes, or a promise that I can repair every third-party platform. Large feature builds, a new visual direction, or a site with deeper structural problems are separate projects. If a request needs a separate project, I’ll explain that before any work begins.
When ongoing care makes sense
Care works when the site still does its job but has collected changes nobody has time to make. The work can be occasional or recurring. If a one-time fix is enough, I’ll recommend that.
When the site needs more than maintenance
If the structure, message, or platform is causing the trouble, I’ll explain why and point you toward a website redesign instead of adding another patch.
