Management retainers

Website Management & Maintenance Services

Predictable monthly retainers that keep your website updated, secure, backed up, and monitored. Any platform, including custom PHP/CodeIgniter applications, handled by senior engineers who answer the same week you ask.

TL;DR

A website management retainer is a monthly service that handles updates, security patching, backups, uptime monitoring, and small edits so you never think about your website. Breezy Sites retainers start at $97/month, run on any platform, and the AI Operations tier adds monitoring for AI features that everyone else ships and abandons.

Who can manage my website?

A management retainer with a senior engineering team covers what an in-house hire would, at a fraction of the cost, without the single point of failure. Breezy Sites manages WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Next.js, and Astro sites plus custom PHP and CodeIgniter applications, which most maintenance shops won't touch. What "managed" means day to day: updates applied and verified, security patched, backups tested, uptime watched, small edits turned around the same week.

Do you maintain custom PHP and CodeIgniter applications?

Yes. Management covers custom-built business applications, not just CMS sites. The team has run production PHP/CodeIgniter platforms continuously for over a decade, including membership systems, booking engines, and e-commerce backends that no plugin marketplace supports. If the developer who built your app is gone, we take ownership: document, stabilize, then maintain.

Who monitors your AI features after launch?

Nobody, usually, and that's the problem the AI Operations tier exists for. Chatbots drift as models deprecate, token costs creep, and content changes make grounded answers stale. The tier watches answer quality, spot-checks for hallucinations, reports token spend, and re-indexes your content as it changes.

Never think about your website again.

Updates, security, backups, uptime monitoring, same-week edits, and if you run AI features, we monitor answer quality, token spend, and re-index your content as it changes. From $97/month, on any platform.

Website management questions

How much should I pay someone to maintain my website in 2026?

Managed plans with real human review run $95 to $500+ per month across the market. Breezy Sites starts at $97/month for the Essential tier. Below roughly $50/month you're buying automated updates with nobody checking whether they broke anything.

Do you manage sites on any platform, or just WordPress?

Any platform. WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Next.js, Astro, and custom PHP or CodeIgniter applications. The retainer is about the engineering discipline, not the CMS.

Can you take over a site another agency built?

Yes. We start with an inventory of hosting, DNS, code, and integrations, document what we find, and take it from there. You don't need the previous agency's cooperation.

Do you maintain custom PHP or CodeIgniter applications?

Yes, and almost nobody else does. We've owned production CodeIgniter platforms continuously for more than ten years. Legacy doesn't mean broken; it means it needs an owner.

What happens if my site goes down at night?

Uptime monitoring alerts us, not you. Essential-tier incidents are handled next business day; Growth and AI Operations tiers get priority response. Repeated incidents trigger a root-cause fix, not just a restart.

Is a retainer cheaper than hiring in-house?

For most small and mid-sized businesses, yes, by a wide margin. A junior developer costs several thousand dollars a month before taxes and management overhead, and you get one person's knowledge. A retainer gives you a senior team for a fraction of that.

Can I cancel monthly?

Yes. Retainers are month to month. We earn the renewal or you leave with your site fully documented.

Who monitors an AI chatbot after launch?

On the AI Operations tier, we do: answer-quality checks, hallucination spot-checks, token spend reports, and re-indexing when your content changes. Unmonitored chatbots degrade quietly; models deprecate and costs drift whether or not anyone is watching.
