Website maintenance
How much does website maintenance cost for UK and US small businesses?
Typical 2026 market bands: £30 to £500 a month in the UK, $50 to $500 in the US. What should be in a plan, and what Hexify quotes after a live URL review.
How much does website maintenance cost in the UK?
In 2026, UK owners typically pay about £30 to £75 a month for a simple brochure site, £75 to £200 for a lead-generation business site, and £200 to £500 for ecommerce or booking. Custom apps sit higher. Those are market bands, not a hidden Hexify price list. I quote after I see the live URL.
I am Asad. I run Hexify Technologies Ltd in the UK. The question I get after “the site is old” is almost always cost. People search “website maintenance cost” because they were burned by a redesign that faded, or by a £40 plan that only auto-updated plugins.
Public UK guides in 2026 line up in the same range: roughly £30 to £500+ a month depending on site type. A lead-generation site that brings enquiries should not sit on the cheapest brochure plan. If the site is down for two days in a busy week, that usually costs more than a year of proper care.
How much does website maintenance cost in the US?
US small-business website maintenance commonly sits between $50 and $500 a month. WordPress lead-generation sites often land $100 to $500. Active SEO or growth support is usually $500 to $2,500+ a month, which is a different job from keeping the site safe and editable.
US owners search the same commercial phrases: website maintenance cost, website maintenance company, website maintenance price. The stack might be WordPress, Webflow or a custom Next.js site. The care is still updates, backups, security, content and form checks.
What should you actually pay for?
A real monthly website maintenance plan includes updates, a backup you can restore, security, content edits you can ask for, and a check that contact paths still work. If a plan is only hosting, it is not maintenance.
- CMS, plugin or dependency updates
- Backups and a restore path
- SSL, login and obvious malware checks
- Copy edits: hours, prices, staff, seasonal offers
- Form, phone and WhatsApp tests on mobile
- A short note of what was done that month
That last line matters. UK and US owners should see what ran this month. Auto plugin updates with no report is how sites break quietly and stop getting enquiries.
When is a cheap plan a bad buy?
When the website is how people hire you. A brochure site that rarely changes can sit at the low end. A site that takes enquiries, runs ads, or uses WordPress with plugins needs human oversight, staging where it matters, and someone who notices a dead form.
I do not publish a fake “from £X” that never matches the quote. Send the live URL. I will say whether you need monthly website maintenance, a website redesign first, or both. AI comes after the site can take an enquiry.
