Websites decay silently: unapplied updates, expired certificates, plugins drifting out of security support, backups nobody has tested. A maintenance retainer makes decay somebody’s actual job — with monitoring that catches problems before visitors do, and small fixes included rather than invoiced into oblivion.

Retainers cover one site or a small portfolio. Terms are monthly, cancellable, and scoped in writing: what is included, what is billable, and the response times you can hold to.
