Three plans. Published prices.
Website maintenance plans from BlakSheep Creative start at $97 a month and cover updates, offsite backups, security scanning and 24/7 uptime monitoring.
You will not get a mystery quote or a sales call before you can find out what this costs. Every plan includes our cell phone number. Pay annually and two months are free.
What you are actually buying.
Every plan covers the same core jobs. What changes between tiers is how often they run, how much retention you get, how much of our time is included, and how deep the review goes.
If the honest answer is that you need the cheapest plan, we will tell you that.
Choosing a tier
Pick by what it costs you.
Essential at $97 suits a brochure site that needs to stay current and safe. Professional at $197 is the one most clients land on: it fits any site that generates leads and cannot afford to be broken. Managed at $397 is for revenue-critical sites, membership sites and stores, where updates get tested on staging before they touch production.
The question that decides it is not how big the site is. It is what a day of downtime costs you.
Every plan, line by line.
Nine recurring jobs. The first four run on every tier. The rest scale with the plan. Annual prepay gets two months free on any of them, and everything stays month to month otherwise.
Updates
Core, theme and plugin updates. Monthly on Essential, weekly with a visual check before and after on Professional and Managed.
Offsite Backups
Daily, held off your host. 30 day retention on Essential, 90 on Professional and Managed.
Uptime Monitoring
Checks every five minutes on every plan, with alerts to us rather than to you.
Security Scanning
Daily malware scans plus SSL and domain expiry monitoring, on every plan.
Core Web Vitals
Quarterly tuning on Professional, monthly monitoring on Managed. Measured against real rendering.
Error Log Review
Included from Professional up. Real problems show in the logs long before they surface on the page.
Accessibility Scans
Quarterly WCAG scans on Professional. Monthly with remediation on Managed.
Included Time
30 minutes on Essential, 2 hours on Professional, 5 hours on Managed. Anything beyond is quoted first.
Our Cell Number
On all three tiers, never gated behind the top plan. We are first responders, so 24/7/365 is how we already work.

Questions about the plans
The things people ask before choosing a tier.
Which website maintenance plan should I choose?
Professional at $197 fits most sites that bring in leads. Choose Essential at $97 if the site is a brochure that rarely changes, and Managed at $397 if downtime costs you money the same day it happens.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, up or down, at any time. Everything is month to month unless you prepay a year, and there is no cancellation fee.
What does a website maintenance package normally cost?
For a small business site, $95 to $300 a month is the normal range in 2026. Under about $50 a month you are usually buying automated plugin updates with no human review. Our plans run $97 to $397.
Is there a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel anytime. Pay for a year up front and two months are free, which is the only commitment we offer and it is optional.
What happens in the first month?
We audit the current state of the site, tell you what we found, and fix anything urgent before the regular plan work begins. Most sites we take over were built by someone else.
Do plans include emergency work?
Compromise cleanup is included on Professional and Managed. On Essential it is quoted separately, because a real compromise is a multi-day job and we would rather price it honestly than bury it in a monthly fee.
