Do I need this if my site rarely changes?

Yes — arguably more than a site that changes often, because a "set and forget" site is exactly the kind that quietly falls apart. A website isn't a printed brochure; it runs on software that needs updating, and skipping those updates is the single most common way sites get hacked or break.

A rarely-touched site still faces the same automated attacks, the same expiring SSL, the same plugin vulnerabilities, and the same risk that a form silently stops working and you lose leads for months without noticing. Care isn't mainly about making frequent changes — it's about keeping the site secure, backed up, monitored, and online whether or not you touch it. The irony is that owners who "don't need maintenance because nothing changes" are often hit hardest, because no one was watching.

That said, we won't oversell you: if you genuinely have a simple static page and minimal risk, we'll tell you what level of care actually makes sense rather than pushing the biggest plan. The honest point is that "rarely changes" is a reason to have quiet, watchful care — not a reason to skip it.

How we build

We keep the underlying software current and the site online regardless of how often the content changes.

How we protect

Rarely-updated sites are prime targets precisely because no one's watching — monitoring and backups close that gap.

How we grow

A silently broken contact form on a "finished" site can cost months of leads; care catches it before you would.

Growth Partnership fit

In the Growth Partnership, care runs continuously in the background so a low-change site never becomes a liability.
