Website maintenance
Small business website maintenance keeps the lights on. That is all it does.
Updates, backups, uptime checks — useful, and nowhere near enough. A maintained website can still be out of date, invisible in search and quietly losing you enquiries every month. Kaide does the maintenance job and then keeps going.
From $299 per month for the website you already own.
The difference
Maintenance waits. Management works.
Maintenance
Plugins get updated. Nothing else does.
Kaide
Kaide reads the actual pages — the copy, the headings, the calls to action — and tells you which ones are failing to do their job.
Maintenance
You have to notice the problem and raise a ticket.
Kaide
Kaide finds the problem first and brings you the prepared fix. You approve; you do not diagnose.
Maintenance
Change requests sit in a queue for a week or two.
Kaide
Approved changes on a managed website are published and then checked on the live site before anything is called complete.
Maintenance
Nobody looks at whether the site is being found.
Kaide
Search readiness is assessed continuously, and missed opportunities are surfaced as work, not as a report you have to interpret.
Maintenance
The monthly report proves the site was online.
Kaide
Kaide separates what it verified from what it inferred, and reports what actually changed this month.
The full loop is described in website management.
Answers
What small business owners ask.
What does small business website maintenance normally include?
Usually plugin and platform updates, backups, uptime checks, security patching and a small allowance of change requests each month. It keeps the website running. It does not make the website work harder.
How much does website maintenance cost for a small business?
Typical maintenance retainers run from around $50 to $300 per month depending on the platform and the number of change requests included. Kaide starts at a one-off $1,500 implementation plus $299 per month and includes ongoing monitoring, whole-site analysis and prepared improvements rather than a ticket allowance.
Do I still need maintenance if my website works fine?
A website that loads is not the same as a website that earns. Most small business sites quietly drift: pages go out of date, search visibility slips, and enquiries fall without anything visibly breaking. That drift is what Kaide is built to catch.
Can Kaide replace my current maintenance plan?
For most small businesses, yes. Kaide monitors the live site, assesses every page it can read, prepares improvements for your approval and verifies published changes on the real website. Where a specialist host or developer is genuinely needed, Kaide sits alongside them.
Does Kaide work with my existing website?
Yes. Give Kaide your web address and it begins reading and monitoring the public site within minutes. No plugin, no migration, no downtime.
