It ranges from under $100 for automated update tools to several thousand dollars for enterprise retainers. Most businesses that want a real developer on call pay $400 to $1,200 per month. Mint Media's plans start at $450 for WordPress and Shopify, $600 for custom websites and $1,800 for Shopify Plus. ### What should a website maintenance plan include? At minimum: software and plugin updates tested before going live, daily backups, security scanning, uptime monitoring and a set number of developer hours for changes. Good plans also include hosting where the platform needs it, a clear way to submit requests and a monthly report. ### Do I need a maintenance plan if my website is already built? Yes, if the site matters to your business. Software, plugins and apps keep changing, security threats keep evolving and content goes stale. Without maintenance, small issues build up until something breaks, usually at the worst moment. ### Can one company host and maintain my website? Yes. Mint Media's WordPress and custom website plans include managed hosting, so one team is responsible for the server, the software and the site itself. Shopify plans cover the store, since Shopify includes hosting in its own subscription. FAQ ## Plan details ### Which maintenance plan is right for my website? Start with your platform, then pick the tier that matches how often your site changes. Essentials suits sites that change a few times a month, Growth suits regular updates and campaigns, and Priority suits sites where downtime directly costs money. ### Is there a setup fee or a long-term contract? No. There is no setup fee and no minimum contract. Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel at any time. ### What happens to hours I don't use? Unused hours roll over for up to 3 months, so a quiet month is not wasted. If you need more time in a busy month, extra hours are billed at your plan's hourly rate. ### Do you maintain websites you didn't build? Yes. Every new plan starts with an onboarding audit, so we understand the code, plugins or apps and hosting before we take responsibility for the site.
