Outsource it to a system, not an hourly rate.
Classic maintenance keeps your site online: updates, backups, monitoring. Useful — but it doesn't make your site one visitor better. FWRD handles the maintenance and keeps improving your site, for less than the cheapest maintenance plan.

What exactly does the maintenance include?
Everything a maintainer normally does: hosting, SSL, speed, backups — plus what a maintainer doesn't do: keep improving the site itself. The system makes proposals based on real data; you approve them with one click.
I currently pay an agency every month. What's the difference?
A maintenance contract keeps your site online; this system makes it better. And it saves money: maintenance bundles easily run €75 to €250 per month, while FWRD Grow is €29 per month with annual billing — hosting included.
My site is hosted elsewhere. How do I switch?
You build a new version with the AI site builder in a few minutes and switch your domain over once you're happy. Your old site simply keeps running until that moment — no downtime.
Maintenance that makes your site better.
