Website maintenance services, so your site stays fast, safe and current.
Ragnar Studios offers monthly care for your website: updates, backups, security checks and small edits, scoped to your site. You focus on customers while we keep the site working.
- Updates, backups and security checks
- Uptime, speed and broken-link monitoring
- Small content edits and a monthly report
Why website maintenance services matter for a business site
A website is not a poster you print once. Plugins, themes, payment gateways and browsers keep changing, and a site left alone slowly becomes slower, less secure and more likely to break. Website maintenance services handle that quiet, repeated work so small problems are caught before a customer sees an error page or a broken contact form. For a business that depends on enquiries, that early warning is the real value.
Many owners only think about maintenance after something goes wrong: the site is hacked, a plugin update breaks the layout, the contact form stops sending enquiries, or the hosting expires. Fixing an emergency usually costs more time and stress than steady care. A regular routine, with backups taken before every change, makes recovery simple, because you can return to a version that worked instead of rebuilding from memory.
Maintenance also protects what you already paid for. A fast, current site supports your search visibility, keeps enquiries and orders flowing, and avoids the browser warnings that make visitors leave. If you sell through WhatsApp, forms or checkout, even a day of silent failure can mean lost enquiries you never knew about. Results still depend on your content, market and marketing, but a healthy site gives every effort a fair chance.
Ragnar Studios works on WordPress, Shopify and custom-built sites, including sites we did not build. We have built 2,000+ websites and Shopify stores, so we have seen the common ways they break. After a short review we suggest a plan sized to your site, with clear limits on what is covered, what counts as extra work, and how to reach us on WhatsApp, phone or email. Response times are agreed in writing, not assumed.
What our website maintenance services cover
Every plan is scoped to your platform, but these are the core tasks we usually include.
Updates for core, plugins and themes
We apply updates to your platform, plugins, themes and apps in a careful order, with a backup taken first. If an update changes your layout or breaks a feature, we roll it back or fix it. This keeps known security gaps closed without you worrying about which update is safe to click.
Regular backups and restore checks
We take backups of your site files and database on a schedule agreed with you, and keep them separate from your live site. A backup is only useful if it restores, so we check that a restore works. If something goes wrong, we bring the site back to a clean earlier version.
Security checks and cleanup
We review user accounts, admin logins, file changes and warning signs such as unknown plugins or redirects. We also look at basic hardening, like strong passwords and limited login attempts. If we find malware on a site under our care, we work on cleaning it and closing the gap it came through.
Uptime and error monitoring
We watch whether your site is reachable and whether key pages and forms still work. If the site goes down or your contact form stops sending, we investigate the cause, which may be your hosting, an expired domain or a plugin conflict, and tell you in plain words what needs fixing.
Speed and broken-link checks
Each month we test how quickly important pages load and look for oversized images, heavy plugins and broken links or missing pages. We fix what falls within the plan and explain larger changes, such as moving to better hosting, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
Small content edits and monthly report
Need a new phone number, a changed offer, a fresh banner or an updated price list? Small edits are handled within the hours or limits in your plan. Each month you get a short report of what we updated, checked, fixed and what we recommend next.
Who needs website maintenance services
If your site brings in enquiries or orders, someone should be looking after it.
Website maintenance services for sites with no tech person
If your site was built by a freelancer who has moved on, or by a relative or friend, nobody may be updating it. We take over the routine work, learn how the site is built, and give you one contact on WhatsApp or email when something needs attention.
WordPress sites with many plugins
WordPress sites often run a dozen plugins from different authors, and each update can clash with another. We test and update them in order, remove ones you no longer use, and keep a backup ready so a failed update never leaves your site broken for days.
Website maintenance services for Shopify and online stores
Stores depend on working checkout, payment methods like UPI and cards, product pages and apps. We check that these still behave properly and help with routine store housekeeping within plan limits. Shopify handles its own platform hosting, so our work focuses on your theme, apps and content.
Clinics, schools and service firms
Pages such as timings, fees, team lists, notices and admission or booking forms change often. A maintenance plan gives you a fixed route to get these edits done quickly, instead of searching for a developer each time something small needs updating. Parents, patients and clients then always see current information.
Sites that feel slow or look outdated
If pages load slowly on mobile, images look stretched or the site shows odd warnings, a maintenance review is a sensible first step. We tell you what a fix involves, and whether a deeper redesign is better than patching, before you commit to anything. Sometimes careful tuning is enough, and we say so plainly.
Owners who want predictable support
Some owners prefer a steady monthly arrangement over paying for each fix separately. We scope a plan with defined tasks and limits, so you know what is covered, what counts as extra work, and how to reach us when something looks wrong. It also makes budgeting easier than paying only when an emergency hits.
How our website maintenance process works
We start with a review, then settle into a simple monthly routine.
Site review and access
You share your website address, platform and hosting details if known. We review the site, its plugins or apps, its current speed and any visible issues, then list what needs attention first. Access is shared through secure methods you control, and you can remove it whenever you want.
Backup before any change
Before we touch anything, we take a fresh backup. This is the safety net for every later update or fix. If the site is on hosting with its own backup tool, we use it alongside ours, so you are not depending on a single copy of your data.
Clearing the backlog
Many sites arrive with months of missed updates, unused plugins and old warnings. We handle these step by step, testing key pages after each stage. Where a fix needs more work than the plan covers, such as a major theme change, we quote it separately before starting.
Monthly routine for website maintenance services
Each cycle we run updates, check backups, scan for security warnings, test forms and key pages, and check speed and links. Routine work is done on a regular rhythm, and urgent problems are looked at as soon as you report them within the support terms we agree.
Edit requests
When you need a change, message us on WhatsApp or email with the details and any files. We confirm what is involved, do small edits within your plan, and tell you honestly if a request counts as a larger project that needs its own quote.
Reporting and next steps
You get a short monthly summary in plain language: what was updated, what we found, what we fixed and what we suggest next. If the site needs bigger improvements, like a redesign, we explain why and let you decide without pressure. Nothing beyond your agreed plan starts without your approval.

Website maintenance pricing, scope and what affects cost
We do not publish a fixed price list. You get a custom quote after we understand your site.
Custom quote after a review
Ragnar Studios quotes website maintenance services after looking at your platform, size and needs. We do not have a standard monthly price list. The quote lists what is covered each month, what counts as extra, and how to reach us, so there are no surprises later.
What drives the cost
The main factors are the platform, the number of pages and plugins or apps, whether you run an online store, how often you want updates and edits, how many hours of small changes you expect, and how much cleanup the site needs at the start. Bigger and busier sites need more care.
Indicative market range
As a rough guide only, typical market ranges in India for basic monthly maintenance can sit anywhere from a few thousand rupees a month for small sites to much higher for stores and custom platforms. This is an indicative market range and not a Ragnar quote.
What is not included
Unless agreed in writing, plans do not cover new pages or features, a full redesign, large content writing, paid plugin or app licences, domain renewals, hosting fees or ad spend. Those costs go to the respective providers. We list exclusions in the quote so expectations are clear.
Hosting and domain separate
Your hosting and domain are paid to the provider and are separate from our fees. If your hosting is slow or unreliable, we tell you honestly and can help you plan a move. Ask us what applies to your project before you decide, so you know which costs sit with the provider and which with us.
Timeline and getting started
Timing depends on the condition of your site. A clean, current site can be reviewed and onboarded quickly, while one with many outdated plugins needs more time first. We confirm the starting steps after the review, never a rushed promise. Ask on WhatsApp, phone or email and we will explain what your own site needs.

Guides and checklists that go with this service.
What do website maintenance services include?
Usually platform, plugin and theme updates, scheduled backups, security checks, uptime and form monitoring, speed and broken-link checks, small content edits and a monthly report. The exact list depends on your platform and plan, so Ragnar Studios writes down inclusions and exclusions in the quote.
How much do website maintenance services cost in India?
There is no single price. Cost depends on platform, size, number of plugins or apps, store features, edit volume and starting condition. Ragnar Studios gives a custom quote after reviewing your site. Typical market ranges vary widely, so treat any figure as a rough guide, not a quote.
Do I need website maintenance services if my site is on Shopify?
Shopify looks after its own platform and hosting, but your theme, apps, products, policies, checkout settings and content still need attention. We focus on those parts. Your Shopify subscription and any paid app fees are paid directly to the providers and are separate.
Can you maintain a website you did not build?
Often yes. We first review the site, its platform and its code quality, then tell you honestly what we can look after. Some very old or heavily broken sites may need repair work first, which we quote separately before starting.
How often should a website be updated and backed up?
It depends on how often your content changes and how much traffic or orders you get. Many business sites suit regular scheduled backups and monthly update checks, while busy stores may need closer care. We suggest a rhythm after reviewing your site.
Do website maintenance services help if my site is hacked?
We restore from a clean backup if available, look for how the problem entered, and work on cleaning and closing the gap. Speed depends on how bad the damage is and whether recent backups exist. We cannot promise a guaranteed outcome in every case, but we explain each step.
Are hosting and domain renewals included?
No, not unless agreed in writing. Hosting and domain are paid to your provider and are separate from our fees. If you want help tracking renewal dates, ask us whether that can be added to your plan, so the site does not go offline because a payment was missed.
