Website Maintenance Cost UK: Essential Guide to Avoid Waste
Two quotes for maintaining the same twenty-page WordPress site can differ by a factor of ten, and both can be honest — because the phrase covers at least five separate jobs. This guide takes the fee apart into hosting, patching, backups, monitoring and human hours, sets realistic UK price bands against each one by site type and provider model, and shows the arithmetic that explains why a £75 retainer funds almost no labour once fixed platform charges are subtracted. It also covers the costs that never appear on a quote, the warning signs of underpaying and overpaying, and a twelve-month plan you can hold a provider to.
