Website maintenance

Keep your website secure, current and useful after launch.

Xstudios provides ongoing website maintenance for companies that need more than occasional plugin updates: content changes, new functionality, technical fixes, performance improvements, SEO continuity and planned development.

Content updatesFunctionalitySecurityPerformancePlanned improvements
Maintenance scope

One maintenance partner for content, code and continuous improvement.

Your website keeps changing because your business keeps changing. We can maintain the visible content and design, the functionality behind it, the platform and dependencies, and the technical foundations that affect performance, security and search visibility.

Content & presentation

Page changes, new sections, campaign landing pages, visual refinements and reusable component work.

  • Content updates
  • Design adjustments
  • New page patterns

Functionality

Forms, modules, integrations, customer-facing features and back-office improvements.

  • Feature changes
  • Third-party integrations
  • Workflow fixes

Technical upkeep

Dependency/platform updates, security remediation, compatibility work and operational checks.

  • Security updates
  • Platform upgrades
  • Error remediation

Performance & reliability

Investigate slow pages, recurring errors, asset issues and operational bottlenecks.

  • Performance review
  • Monitoring follow-up
  • Reliability fixes

SEO continuity

Protect redirects, metadata, crawlability and structural SEO when content or templates change.

  • Redirect checks
  • Technical SEO
  • Migration support

Planned improvement

Use maintenance capacity for a prioritized backlog instead of waiting for urgent requests.

  • Quarterly roadmap
  • UX improvements
  • Technical-debt reduction
Engagement models

Choose a support model that matches how often your business changes.

Use recurring maintenance when the website is an active business channel, a focused sprint when you have a defined backlog, or on-demand support when changes are less frequent. Scope and response expectations stay explicit.

01

Ongoing maintenance

A recurring backlog and reserved capacity for sites that change regularly or support important business processes.

Discuss recurring support
02

Improvement sprint

A time-boxed engagement for a redesign phase, performance work, platform update or accumulated backlog.

Plan a sprint
Taking over an existing site

Review first. Change second.

Before accepting responsibility for an inherited website or application, we need to understand access, deployment, backups, dependencies and known problems. That reduces the risk of breaking production while “fixing” something else.

Access & ownership

Confirm source code, hosting, domains, DNS, CMS, third-party accounts and credentials ownership.

Backups & recovery

Verify what is backed up, where it is stored and whether a realistic restore path exists.

Architecture & dependencies

Map the platform, custom code, plugins/packages, integrations and scheduled jobs.

Known issues & risk

Separate urgent production problems from maintenance debt and future improvements.

Backlog & priorities

Turn findings into an ordered plan with quick wins, risk reduction and business-facing improvements.

Infrastructure connection

Maintenance works better when application and hosting responsibilities are explicit.

Xstudios can own application-level changes and coordinate runtime requirements. Hosting-Shop is the dedicated hosting and cloud brand in the ecosystem. When a site runs there, the two responsibilities can be planned together; when it runs elsewhere, we work within the available provider model.

Beyond routine maintenance

Use ongoing support to improve the website instead of only keeping it alive.

Maintenance can include a development backlog, SEO improvements, infrastructure coordination, redesign work and automation around the website. This lets the platform evolve with the business instead of accumulating another year of deferred work.

Content & campaign delivery

New pages, landing pages, content changes and reusable components for campaigns, services and product launches.

Website design

Ongoing feature development

Forms, account areas, integrations, modules and workflow improvements delivered from an agreed backlog.

Application development

SEO & performance backlog

Technical SEO fixes, structured data, redirects, speed work and content-structure improvements alongside normal maintenance.

SEO services

Hosting & runtime coordination

Coordinate application changes with PHP/runtime versions, backups, certificates, deployment and hosting-level operational requirements.

Hosting coordination

Automation around website operations

Automate repetitive publishing, enquiry routing, notifications or content-processing steps where the workflow supports it.

Automation services

Redesign & modernization phases

Use maintenance knowledge to progressively replace weak templates, old modules or fragile technical areas without a disruptive relaunch.

Redesign options
Pricing & engagement

Match the support model to how often the website changes.

A one-off backlog should not force you into a retainer, and a business-critical site should not depend on ad-hoc availability. We use different engagement models for takeovers, focused improvements and recurring ownership.

Takeover / diagnosis

Maintenance Health Check

€500–€1k

For inherited or neglected sites where access, backups, dependencies, security and technical risk need to be understood before changes begin.

  • Access & backup review
  • Platform / dependency assessment
  • Prioritized maintenance plan
Review an existing site
Backlog cleanup

Improvement Sprint

€1.5k–€3.5k

For an accumulated backlog, platform update, performance problem, redesign phase or defined set of improvements.

  • Prioritized scope
  • Implementation and testing
  • Handover / follow-up plan
Plan an improvement sprint
Major modernization

Phased Rebuild / Upgrade

Individually scoped

For sites where maintenance has become a modernization project and the safest path is to replace or restructure larger technical areas in stages.

  • Controlled phases
  • Risk reduction
  • Budget agreed by stage
Discuss modernization
These are indicative ranges, not fixed packages. Final scope and price depend on requirements. Larger projects are scoped individually and can be split into defined delivery phases.
Connected delivery

Ongoing maintenance works better when the surrounding services are planned with it.

Support is more useful when it can reach the adjacent issue instead of stopping at a contract boundary. We can move from a content request to code, SEO, integration or infrastructure work when the underlying problem requires it.

Design & development

Create new pages, components or larger redesign phases when the site needs more than routine updates.

Web design

Custom application work

Maintain integrations, portals and custom modules that sit behind or alongside the website.

Applications

SEO & performance

Turn maintenance findings into technical SEO, redirect, structured-data and performance improvements.

XTND platform maintenance

For XTND-based solutions, coordinate application changes with platform configuration and reusable capabilities.

Hosting-Shop

Coordinate hosting, backups, certificates and infrastructure-side support when the site runs with Hosting-Shop.

Technical consulting

Escalate recurring maintenance problems into an architecture or modernization plan instead of repeatedly patching symptoms.

Consulting
One project, clear ownership. Xstudios can remain the main delivery contact while XTND contributes reusable platform capabilities and Hosting-Shop provides hosting infrastructure where either is a good fit.
FAQ

Questions worth answering before kickoff.

Usually yes, but we first review the codebase, access, hosting, backups and known issues so responsibility is based on evidence.

It can. Content updates, page changes, design refinements and new functionality can be part of the agreed scope.

Only when explicitly agreed as part of a support arrangement. We do not market a generic 24/7 promise without defined coverage and response terms.

Yes. Technical SEO and migration/redirect continuity can be included, while broader content or growth work can be scoped separately.
Next step

Need someone to own the website after launch?

Send the site URL, platform, hosting environment and the types of changes or problems you deal with most often. We can recommend a practical support model.
