What do website maintenance services include?
Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps a site secure, working and fast after launch: updates, backups, monitoring, security checks, speed tuning and small content changes. Devmenta handles all of it under one monthly plan, so you have one team to message when something needs fixing.
Sites rarely break all at once. A plugin goes out of date, a form stops sending, an SSL certificate lapses or pages slow down as images pile up. Regular maintenance catches these before customers do.
- Updates: WordPress core, themes and plugins, or Shopify apps and theme settings, tested before and after changes.
- Backups: monthly on Growth, weekly on Scale, stored off the live server so the site can be restored.
- Security: SSL, admin access reviews, removing unused plugins and accounts, and spam protection on forms.
- Speed: image compression, caching and clean-up to keep load times and Core Web Vitals healthy.
- Monitoring and support: 24/7 support and monitoring on the Scale plan.
How much does website maintenance cost per month?
Devmenta's care plans start at $699 a month on Growth and $1,199 a month on Scale, or $3,500 and $6,000 billed yearly, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no lock-in. US, UK and Australian agencies often price care plans anywhere from under a hundred to several hundred dollars a month for updates alone, so compare what is included.
Devmenta's plans include the website itself as well as maintenance, which is why they cost more than update-only services. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.
- Growth, $699/mo: custom WordPress or Shopify site, 10 pages plus a blog, advanced on-page SEO, speed optimization and monthly backups.
- Scale, $1,199/mo: unlimited pages, e-commerce and payment gateways, GA4 and Meta pixel, monthly SEO reporting, weekly backups, and 24/7 support and monitoring.
Which care plan do you need, Growth or Scale?
Choose Growth if your site is mainly a brochure or booking site where a few hours of downtime would be annoying but not costly. Choose Scale if you take orders or payments online, run ads to the site or rely on it for leads every day, because weekly backups and 24/7 monitoring shorten the time between a problem and a fix.
An online store such as Anfield Pharmacy UK, with ordering and an orders dashboard, is the kind of site where Scale-level care makes sense.
Can Devmenta maintain a site it didn't build?
Yes, in most cases. Devmenta starts by auditing the site's hosting, software versions, plugins or apps, backups and security, then tells you what needs fixing before regular maintenance begins. Sites with heavy custom code are quoted after that review.
Devmenta maintains WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom-built sites and web apps. If your current site is too outdated to maintain safely, we'll say so and explain the cost of a rebuild versus repair. See WordPress development and Shopify development.
Who looks after your site, and when?
Devmenta's team is based in Karachi, Pakistan, on Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5). That overlaps the full UK working day and US and Canadian East Coast mornings, and Australian afternoons overlap Pakistan mornings, so updates are often done outside your busy hours. On Scale, support and monitoring run 24/7.
You keep ownership of your domain, hosting, Shopify store and admin logins. Devmenta works with its own user accounts, which you can remove at any time, and logs what changed each month.
