Website maintenance

Keep the website current after the launch high wears off

Updates, small features, performance watch, and a development partner who already knows the codebase.

Zqdo offers website maintenance for Shopify stores and marketing sites that cannot wait two weeks for a plugin conflict or a broken form.

The service

Why maintenance is a service

Websites decay. Apps update, content gets messy, Core Web Vitals slip, and the contact form fails silently. Maintenance is how you avoid discovering those problems from a customer.

A retainer also turns Zqdo into the team that can ship small CRO and content changes without restarting a project every time.

This is especially valuable on Shopify, where app and theme changes can undo last quarter’s performance work.

Who it’s for

Who this is for

Businesses that already have a site and need it kept reliable.

  • Brands that launched and now have a backlog of small requests
  • Teams without an in-house developer
  • Shopify merchants who need theme and app babysitting
  • Local businesses whose site is business-critical for calls

Problems we solve

Problems maintenance solves

These are the failures that happen in the quiet months after a redesign.

  • Nobody owns the website

    We become the named owner for updates, QA, and small builds.

  • Breaks are found by customers

    Forms, tracking, and key templates get checked on a cadence.

  • Every change becomes a new project

    A retainer absorbs routine work so you are not paying kickoff tax.

  • Speed and SEO slowly regress

    We watch performance and technical health instead of waiting for a crisis.

What’s included

What maintenance can include

Retainers are scoped. Typical ingredients look like this.

  • Updates and QA

    Theme, CMS, and dependency updates with a smoke test.

  • Small development

    Hours each month for sections, fixes, and landing pages.

  • Performance and upkeep

    Periodic speed and form checks on key templates.

  • Advisory

    When to say no to another app, popup, or redesign rumor.

FAQ

Maintenance FAQs

  • Is this hosting?

    No. Hosting stays with Shopify, Webflow, WordPress hosts, or your current provider. We maintain the site that runs there.

  • Can maintenance include new features?

    Small features yes. Larger builds are scoped as projects so the retainer does not get consumed by a rebuild in disguise.

  • Do you maintain sites you did not build?

    Often, after an audit. Some codebases are cheaper to rebuild than to inherit blindly. We will say which is true.

Need someone to own the website after launch?

Tell us the platform and the monthly reality. We will recommend a retainer or a project.
