Not at all. We offer flexible monthly maintenance plans as well as ad-hoc support if you just need help now and again. We’ll recommend what’s best based on how often your site needs attention.

What kind of updates are included in a monthly plan?2025-04-24T08:26:45+01:00

Can you maintain a website that wasn’t built by Chell Web & Design?2025-04-24T08:25:41+01:00

Absolutely. Whether your site was built by another designer or by yourself, we can still offer full maintenance support. We’ll start with a review of your site and suggest a plan that suits its needs.

Do I need a maintenance plan if my website is already live?2025-04-24T08:23:49+01:00

Yes! A live website still needs regular care to stay secure, fast, and functional. Maintenance includes plugin/theme updates, content tweaks, and making sure everything’s running smoothly behind the scenes, helping to avoid downtime or costly fixes later.

Can you help me write or improve my content?2025-04-23T16:31:35+01:00

What kind of updates can I send over?2025-04-23T16:30:33+01:00

We can handle a wide range of content updates, from editing or adding text and swapping out images to uploading blogs, case studies, or FAQs.

Can you update my content if my website wasn’t built by you?2025-04-23T16:28:04+01:00

Yes! We’re happy to manage and update websites that weren’t built by Chell Web & Design. As long as we can access your CMS (like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace), we can jump in and help. We may carry out a quick review of your current setup before we begin, just to ensure everything runs smoothly.

How often can I request updates with a monthly content management plan?2025-04-23T16:27:36+01:00

Our monthly plans are designed to be flexible around your workflow. You can request updates as often as needed, provided they fall within your plan’s allocated time. Most clients send over updates weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, depending on their needs. If you ever require additional time beyond your plan, we’ll simply charge them at our usual hourly rate.

What platforms to do you use to build my website?2025-05-28T08:19:15+01:00
