Who updates my website after it launches?
By default, nobody — which is the problem. Most agencies build a site, launch it, hand over the logins, and move on, so keeping it updated quietly becomes your job: your hours, or a freelancer you have to find each time. Nabee Studio keeps that job instead. Under the Maintenance Plan (from $299/mo, hosting included), the same team that built your site updates it, fixes it, and answers you — you send one message, we handle it.
Launch feels like the finish line. It's the starting line. A website is a living thing — hours change, prices change, staff change, browsers change, security patches ship weekly — and every one of those needs someone whose job it is to act.
Why does the update problem even happen?
Because "build" and "run" are two different services, and most engagements only pay for the first. When the project ends, so does the relationship. You're left with a CMS you were shown once, a hosting account you didn't set up, and a domain someone registered years ago. The knowledge left with the team that built it — this is the handoff-and-disappear pattern, and it's the single most common after-launch complaint.
What actually needs updating after launch?
- Content — hours, prices, photos, staff, seasonal offers, new pages. An out-of-date site actively costs trust.
- Fixes — an expired certificate, a plugin update that breaks the layout, a contact form that silently stops delivering.
- Security & software — patches, dependency updates, backups, monitoring — the invisible work that prevents the visible disaster.
- Growth — SEO and AEO upkeep, performance, and small improvements as the business evolves.
Who should own it — and what does that cost?
The team that built the site is the cheapest, fastest owner, because they already understand it. At Nabee Studio that's the Maintenance Plan from $299/mo — hosting, SSL, CDN, security monitoring, automatic backups, software updates, bug fixes, and small content changes in one flat fee. Need more throughput? Website Update + Maintenance at $699/mo adds up to eight change requests a month, one-business-day response, and quarterly analytics reviews. It's the outsourced digital team model: one partner runs everything so you don't manage vendors.
What if I paid for the build monthly?
Then updates are already covered. A website on the 24-month plan is $499/mo with the full Maintenance Plan and hosting bundled in — the studio operates the site for the entire term, and full ownership transfers after the 24th payment. The payment plan guide explains the mechanics; the small-business support guide covers who answers when something breaks.

Common questions
- Who updates my website after it launches?
- With most agencies, nobody — they hand over logins and move on, so it becomes your job. With Nabee Studio's Maintenance Plan (from $299/mo, hosting included), the team that built the site updates it: you send one message and we handle it.
- Why do so many websites go out of date after launch?
- Because building and running a site are separate jobs, and most projects only pay for the build. When the engagement ends the relationship ends, leaving the owner with logins but no one whose job it is to keep the site current.
- What needs updating on a website after go-live?
- Content like hours, prices, and photos; fixes like expired certificates and broken forms; security patches, backups, and software updates; and ongoing SEO, performance, and small improvements as the business changes.
- How much does it cost to have someone maintain my site?
- Nabee Studio's Maintenance Plan is $299/mo with hosting included, covering security, backups, updates, fixes, and small content changes. Website Update + Maintenance is $699/mo and adds up to eight change requests a month and quarterly analytics reviews.
- If I pay monthly for the build, are updates included?
- Yes. A website on the 24-month payment plan is $499/mo with the full Maintenance Plan and hosting bundled in, and the studio operates the site for the whole term. Full ownership transfers after the 24th payment.
