Upkeep / Brisbane website care
Maintenance that keeps your AI site earning.
A live website is software, not a brochure — and unmaintained software quietly decays. Website care from Heathford Digital keeps your Brisbane site secure, backed up, fast and search-optimised, handled by the same studio that built or reviewed it. Care is bundled into our three monthly subscription tiers — starting at $150 a month with no lock-in contract and no upfront build fee. And as AI automations are added to your site, we keep them running, monitored and improved — so the work the site does keeps paying.
01 / Why upkeep matters
Secure, fast,
never left behind.
Security without surprises
Core platforms, plugins and browser security standards shift constantly. Monthly patches and monitoring close the gaps before they become break-ins.
Backups you can rely on
Daily backups mean a healthy version of your site is always one restore away, so a bad update or a host outage never becomes lost work.
Speed that holds up
Search engines reward fast pages. Regular upkeep keeps images, code and caching tuned so load times stay competitive as traffic grows.
Direct studio support
You deal directly with the studio that built your site — no support tickets routed to people who have never seen your code before.
03 / In every plan
What ongoing
care covers.
Every tier shares the same baseline — your site stays live, secure and recoverable — then layers content updates, automation and AI as your needs grow.
02 / The subscription tiers
Care that scales
with your site.
Every tier runs month to month with no lock-in contract and no upfront build fee, and is handled by the same Brisbane studio that built or reviewed your website — you work with the studio team directly, not a support-ticket queue.

Care / FAQ
Common questions
about upkeep.
What does website maintenance include?+
Website maintenance covers everything required to keep a live site secure, fast and backed up — server and domain administration, security patches and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and small content changes. At Heathford Digital it is handled by the same studio that built your site, so the person maintaining it already understands the code.
How much does website maintenance cost in Brisbane?+
Care is bundled into three monthly subscription tiers — The Core Asset from $150 a month (hosting, security, backups and monthly updates), The Growth Engine at $499 a month (adds automated CRM, review generation and lead capture), and The AI Infrastructure at $1,000 a month (adds a custom AI chatbot, automated booking and full workflow systems). There are no lock-in contracts and no upfront build fee — every tier runs month to month.
Do I have to host my website with Heathford Digital?+
Hosting and care are included in your monthly subscription, so the studio keeps the site live and secure for you. There is no separate build fee and no ownership-transfer charge — cancel anytime and we hand over the files, so you are never locked in.
Is ongoing maintenance really necessary?+
A live website is software, not a brochure. Core platforms, plugins and browser security standards change constantly, and an unpatched site is the most common path to being hacked, going offline or loading slowly. A modest monthly upkeep plan usually costs about the same as self-hosting — but you also get an active service keeping it secure and backed up rather than carrying that risk yourself.
Can you maintain a website another studio built?+
Often, yes. Maintenance of an existing site is assessed case by case — the studio will run a quick website review to check the build quality, platform and access, then recommend the upkeep tier that fits. Reach out through the contact page and share the domain to start.
What happens if my site goes down?+
Uptime is monitored, and every plan includes daily backups so a healthy version can be restored quickly. If something breaks, you contact the studio directly rather than navigating a support queue, and the fix is handled by someone who already knows your site.
Keep your site
looked after.
Send through your domain and a note about your current site, and we'll recommend the subscription tier that fits — no obligation, no online payment required.
