Aftercare Plans

Our Aftercare Plans keep your site secure, fast, and evolving — from hands-off hosting to full creative partnerships. Most clients stay on our Essential Care plan after launch for complete peace of mind, with the option to scale up when they’re ready to grow.

Ongoing care isn’t an optional extra — it’s the safety net and growth engine for your website.
We build your site to last, but like any high-performing tool, it needs regular maintenance to stay secure, speedy, and ready to grow with your business. That’s why almost every client continues with one of our Aftercare Plans as soon as we launch — it’s the default next step.

If you choose to host elsewhere, we can still update and back up your site, but we can’t make the same guarantees on speed, uptime, or performance — simply because it’s out of our hands. On our own hosting platform, powered by Rocket.net, you get premium performance, 24/7 security, and expert monitoring — all included in our Aftercare options.

Our Three Levels of Care

Who These Plans Are For:
Whether you want a reliable, worry-free home for your website, essential ongoing maintenance, or a proactive partner to help your site grow — we’ve got you covered.

🏠 Managed Hosting
Your site’s secure home base. Hands-off, reliable, fully managed technical hosting.
Ideal for businesses that just need a safe, stable place to host their site with minimal fuss.

💛 Website Care
Peace of mind with security, updates, backups, and monthly reports — all handled for you. Additional work billed separately at a discounted rate.
Ideal for those who want to keep their site secure and up-to-date but handle content themselves.

💪 The Works
Your full-service creative & technical partner—website care plus video, photo, strategy, and more. Think of us as your on-call digital department — from fixing a line of code to editing your next social video.
Ideal for businesses looking for ongoing support to grow, optimise, and expand their digital presence.

I have nothing but praise for the Rubber Duckers team! Their levels of professionalism, ability to make sense of my ‘messy’ brief and the execution of a digital presence which has surpassed all of my expectations!

Their ongoing support and personable nature made it easy for me to ask those ‘silly questions’, I cannot recommend them highly enough and look forwards to continuing working with them!

Best wishes for the future Rubber Duckers you are my absolute go-to in the digital space!
