What matters

Safe is what is checked
regularly.

A maintenance contract rests on three principles: prevent, detect problems and restore in an emergency. Even our smallest package includes all three.

Prevent
Updates for Joomla and extensions and regular security checks.
Detect
An availability check tells us when your website can no longer be reached.
Restore
If something is damaged, we restore the latest backup; this is included in the contract.
Joomla 3 and 4 no longer receive security updates. There, maintenance alone is not enough; we first plan the upgrade with you.
Prevent instead of repair
Updates, checks and backups in a fixed rhythm.
What is included

Everything your Joomla website needs day to day.

Frequency and scope differ by package. The basis is the same everywhere.

Updates for Joomla and extensions

Joomla 5.x and 6.x and your extensions, checked for compatibility by Joomla beforehand; 15, 30 or 45 minutes of fixing per update included.

Display check

Your most important pages on computer, tablet and phone, documented with screenshots: 3, 6 or 12 times a year.

Function check

Forms, search, downloads and login tested the way visitors use them – after updates, as agreed with you.

Backups

Files and database: monthly on your server (Starter) or weekly to external storage with 12 or 24 restore points.

Security checks

Once thoroughly at the start, then once, four or twelve times a year.

Availability

An uptime check tells us when your website can no longer be reached.

Firewall for Joomla

In Business and Premium a firewall protects Joomla against attacks.

Server and PHP version

Checked once or twice a year in Business and Premium – Joomla 6 needs PHP 8.3 or newer.

Licence fees

Licences of paid extensions bundled, keys stored in Joomla, expiry dates kept in view.

Honestly calculated

What determines the price.

The package price is the basis. Only what your website really needs comes on top.
Before we start, we name the right package with all costs.

The Starter package applies to at most 2 extensions. We maintain every further extension; it is added to the package price.

Licence fees

Paid extensions need a valid licence for updates. We charge this as a flat fee.

Scope of the package

Business and Premium offer more checks, external backups and a firewall for Joomla.

Your Joomla version

If the website still runs on Joomla 3 or 4, we first plan the upgrade to Joomla 6.

Our offer is aimed at businesses, self-employed people, associations and institutions, not at consumers. All prices net plus VAT.

Frequently asked questions about the Joomla maintenance contract

The most important answers before you choose a package.
What does a Joomla maintenance contract cost?
The packages start from €30, €60 and €120 net a month, billed yearly. Extensions and licence fees come on top; we name them before we start.
How do Starter, Business and Premium differ?
Mainly in how often we check and where the backups are stored: Starter backs up monthly on your server, Business and Premium weekly on external storage. Business and Premium also include a firewall for Joomla and a check of the server environment, Premium additionally the monitoring of the SSL certificate.
Which updates are included?
We install updates for Joomla 5.x and 6.x directly on the live website and update the extensions along with them, up to two in the Starter package. Beforehand Joomla’s pre-update check shows us which extensions fit the new version. If problems occur afterwards, 15, 30 or 45 minutes of fixing per update are included depending on the package.
Do you also check that forms and downloads still work?
Yes, with the function check: we go through the important processes the way your visitors do – submitting forms, receiving confirmations, searching, downloading files, logging in. Which processes belong to it and how often we check them after updates, we agree with you.
What happens if my website goes down?
An availability check (uptime check) tells us when your website can no longer be reached. If something was damaged, we restore the latest backup; this is included in the contract.
Do you also take care of the PHP version?
In the Business and Premium packages we check the server environment once or twice a year, including the PHP version. Older versions such as PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 no longer receive security updates, and Joomla 6 needs PHP 8.3 or newer. We test a switch on a copy first.
My website still runs on Joomla 3 or 4. Is a maintenance contract still possible?
Joomla 3 and 4 no longer receive security updates, so maintenance alone is not enough there. We first plan the upgrade to Joomla 6 with you and then take over the ongoing maintenance.
What does the security check at the start of the contract include?
At the start we check your website thoroughly for weaknesses once, such as outdated extensions or insecure settings. After that come the security checks of your package: once, four times or twelve times a year.
How long does the contract run?
The contract runs for at least 12 months and is billed yearly.
