Small Fixes, Big Results: A Case for Routine Website Care

Small fixes big results a case for routine website care

Most websites don’t break in a single moment. They just wear down over time. An outdated plugin here, a broken link there, maybe a page that loads a little slower than it used to. Then one day, a form stops working, and no one notices until a lead slips through the cracks.

That’s how most website problems start: quietly.

A website isn’t something you launch and forget. It’s part of your business infrastructure; the same as your phone lines, email, or physical space. It needs attention. The web keeps moving, and if you don’t keep up with updates, security patches, and performance checks, it doesn’t take long before your site starts showing its age.

Maintenance isn’t about perfection; it’s about prevention. Small, steady updates keep big, expensive issues from showing up later. It’s the digital version of tightening bolts, checking oil, and reading the gauges before every flight. You don’t skip preflight checks because the plane flew fine yesterday. The same logic applies here.

That’s why Rudder offer two maintenance plans, both designed to keep sites secure, fast, and dependable.

Preflight Maintenance Plan – $150/month
For smaller sites that need steady care and proactive attention. Includes up to 2 hours of monthly updates, plugin/CMS maintenance, backups, and small fixes. Response time within 24–48 hours. Additional work billed at $125/hour.

Flight Ready Maintenance Plan – $300/month
For websites that drive sales, leads, and trust, where every second counts, and want a true “hands-on deck” partnership. Includes up to 5 hours of monthly support, priority response (within 12 hours), and proactive improvements; SEO tune-ups, accessibility reviews, and analytics insights. Additional work billed at $100/hour.

Your website doesn’t just need to work today, it needs to stay secure, load quickly, and evolve with your business. A solid maintenance plan keeps you from ever having to worry about it again.

Stay ahead of problems, not behind them. That’s how you keep your website ready for takeoff.
