Website Development · Website Maintenance
Your website, handled
Updates, backups, security, and support, so you run your business and stop worrying about your website.
Websites don’t stay fixed. Software needs updating, plugins fall behind, and unpatched sites are the ones that get hacked. If nobody’s watching yours, it’s slowly drifting toward a problem.
Our maintenance service keeps your site up to date, backed up, and secure. It happens quietly, in the background, every month. When something does need attention, the same local team that maintains your site is the one that answers the phone. We’ve been looking after client websites since 1998.
Maintenance pairs naturally with our hosting, but we can maintain your site wherever it lives.

Why Self-Edit
Common Questions
What does website maintenance actually include?
Self-Edit’s maintenance covers the things a website needs every month to stay healthy: software and plugin updates, scheduled backups, security protection, and performance tuning, plus a local team to call when you need a question answered or a change made. It all happens quietly in the background, so you can get back to running your business.
Why does a website need ongoing maintenance at all?
Because websites don’t stay fixed. The software they run on needs regular updating, plugins fall behind, and unpatched sites are the ones that get hacked. A site nobody is watching is slowly drifting toward a problem. Maintenance is how you catch that drift before it becomes downtime or a security breach.
My web company disappeared. Can you take over my website?
Yes, and you’re not the first to ask. We regularly take over sites whose original builders vanished, retired, or stopped answering email. We didn’t have to build a site to maintain it: we’ll get access sorted out, look the site over, bring it up to date, and from then on you have a team in Abbotsford that answers the phone. That’s been our approach since 1998.
Do I have to host with Self-Edit to get maintenance?
No. We can maintain your site wherever it lives; your current host is fine. That said, maintenance pairs naturally with our hosting: when the same team hosts and maintains your site, problems get solved in one phone call instead of three.
