After launch, updates, backups, security, forms, speed, content and errors all need attention. Frequency depends on the website and how actively it changes.
Technical maintenance
CMS, plugins, themes and server environments change over time. Updates should be applied methodically, ideally with a backup and checks afterwards.
Backups and restoration
A backup is only useful if it is recent, stored correctly and can actually be restored. Frequency can be daily, weekly or based on how often the site changes.
Security and monitoring
SSL, administrator accounts, passwords, login attempts, unused plugins and suspicious files should be monitored. No website is risk-free, but good practice reduces exposure.
Content, SEO and performance
New pages, products and images can gradually make the site heavier or less consistent. Regular checks help fix links, compress media and preserve structure.
One-off or recurring support
CALYNEVO can support websites after launch with one-off work or recurring care: updates, small improvements, content, quality checks, backups and support.
The cadence can be monthly, weekly for fast-moving sites, or simply on demand. The level of support should match the actual risk and activity of the website.
Illustrative example
An update appears successful, but the enquiry form stops delivering messages. Useful maintenance therefore includes post-update checks, not just pressing Update. Frequency, backups, incident handling and any included fixes should be defined in the agreement around the website’s needs.
Your practical checklist
- Assign responsibility for alerts and renewals.
- Check that a backup can be restored.
- List journeys to test after updates.
- Distinguish maintenance, urgent support and new features.
