Maintenance

A small website stays useful when someone updates it, watches whether it is up, and keeps it fast enough to load. This section is for that work: checklists, what to update, how to judge speed, and how the cost compares if you do it yourself, hire a freelancer or use an agency.

Guides here are decision aids, written from published sources and linked back to those sources. Where a figure is not an Amazon price, the page shows the date it was last checked.
