Website Maintenance Costs in Kenya: Monthly & Annual Retainer Guide

Building a website is like buying a corporate vehicle: once you drive it off the lot, it requires regular servicing, oil changes, and tire inspections to run smoothly. Many Kenyan business owners make the critical mistake of treating a website as a "one-and-done" project, only to find their site hacked or displaying critical errors six months later.

What Does a Professional Maintenance Package Cover?

• Software & Plugin Updates: Over 70% of hacked WordPress sites in Kenya are breached due to outdated plugins with known security exploits.
• Automated Off-Site Backups: Daily or weekly backups stored in secure cloud locations (like AWS S3 or Google Cloud), independent of your web hosting server.
• Uptime & Performance Monitoring: 24/7 automated ping checks alerting engineers within 60 seconds if your website becomes unreachable.
• Security Scanning & Malware Removal: Active Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to block brute force login attempts and malicious SQL injections.
• Content & Graphic Updates: Adding new products, updating staff profiles, publishing blog posts, and updating seasonal banners.
