[Enquire about a maintenance plan](https://webmaintenance.com.au/contact-us) ### What is the difference between website maintenance and web development? [Website maintenance](https://webmaintenance.com.au/) covers the ongoing work needed to keep an existing site updated, secure and running properly. Web development is usually separate project work, such as building new features, redesigning sections or creating new functionality. ### Do you need website maintenance if your site is hosted on Shopify or Wix? Shopify websites still benefit from ongoing maintenance, particularly for theme changes, app management, performance checks and store functionality. Wix handles more of the platform-side maintenance automatically, but businesses may still need support with content updates, SEO checks and general website upkeep. WordPress typically requires the most hands-on maintenance due to its plugins, themes and self-hosted setup. ### How much maintenance does a website usually need each month? The amount of maintenance needed depends on the website type, platform and level of support required. A standard business website may only need routine monthly upkeep, while eCommerce or more complex websites often need broader support, more frequent checks and additional developer input. ### Can website maintenance help with SEO performance? Website maintenance can support SEO by helping keep the site technically healthy. Regular updates, uptime monitoring, performance checks and Search Console oversight can all help reduce issues that may affect search visibility over time. It does not guarantee rankings, but it does support the technical side of ongoing search performance. ### What happens to my website backups if I cancel my plan? If your maintenance plan is cancelled, a final backup can be provided and recent restore points can remain available for a limited period after cancellation. This helps ensure you still have access to your website data and backup files during the transition. ### Do you provide website maintenance services outside of Melbourne? While we are headquartered in Melbourne, we serve businesses across Australia including [Sydney](https://webmaintenance.com.au/services/sydney), [Brisbane](https://webmaintenance.com.au/services/brisbane), [Perth](https://webmaintenance.com.au/services/perth), Adelaide and regional areas.

We operate on AEST business hours for all clients nationwide, with the infrastructure to coordinate with hosting providers and technical teams in any Australian time zone. ### How do I get started with a maintenance plan?

We review your current setup, you choose the plan that fits, and we handle secure access handover, baseline backup and initial setup. The process typically completes within a few business days, after which regular maintenance cycles begin with 24/7 monitoring active. #### Company - [About us](https://webmaintenance.com.au/about-us) - [Our team](https://webmaintenance.com.au#) - [Contact](https://webmaintenance.com.au/contact-us) #### Services - [Pricing](https://webmaintenance.com.au/#pricing) - [What's included](https://webmaintenance.com.au/#services) - [How it works](https://webmaintenance.com.au/#how-it-works) #### Support - [1300 799 858](tel:1300799858) - [support@webmaintenance.com.au](mailto:support@webmaintenance.com.au) - [Live chat available](https://webmaintenance.com.au/contact-us) #### Website care that just works. © 2026 WM [Terms](https://webmaintenance.com.au/terms-conditions) [Privacy](https://webmaintenance.com.au/privacy-policy) Site by WM
