Do you need a website maintenance plan?

Short answer: for most small business websites, a maintenance plan is optional. Your site keeps working without one. A plan is worth it when you change content often or want someone keeping an eye on things.

What happens if you don’t have a plan?

Nothing breaks. Pixel Maker builds most websites as fast, lightweight pages. There’s no server software or plugins to update, so a site can run for years untouched.

When you do need a change, such as new prices, a new project or a new photo, you ask for it and pay for the time it takes.

What a plan covers

Monitoring: you’re told if the site goes down, before your customers notice.
Backups: a copy of the site is kept every month.
Small edits: text, prices, photos and opening hours updated for you.
Reports (Growth plan): how many people visited and how they found you.

Your three options

Option	Cost	Best for
No plan, pay as you go	from RM 80 / hour	Sites that change a few times a year
Care	from RM 80 / month	Peace of mind: monitoring, backups and small monthly edits
Growth	from RM 250 / month	Businesses updating products, prices or projects every month

You probably don’t need a plan if…

Your content changes a few times a year or less.
You’re comfortable sending an email when something needs updating.

A plan is worth it if…

You add products, prices or projects every month.
The website brings in a lot of your enquiries, so downtime would cost you.
You’d rather not think about the website at all.

Custom systems are different

Systems with logins and a database, like bookings or stock management, do need regular care: security updates, database backups and checks. Those need System Care (from RM 300 / month).

The free month

Every Pixel Maker launch includes one free month of Care. Before it ends you get a summary of what was done, and you decide whether to continue. Nothing renews automatically.
