Webflow maintenance: what happens after launch

Summary

Webflow takes care of hosting, security and platform updates, so there are no plugins or servers to maintain. What remains after launch is keeping the site useful: content, speed, search performance, broken links, integrations and new pages. You can do that yourself, call in help when needed, or hand it to a monthly plan.

  • Webflow handles hosting, security and platform updates, so no plugins or servers to maintain.
  • What remains: content, speed, search performance, broken links, forms and integrations.
  • Check speed, Search Console, forms and integrations monthly; accessibility and improvements quarterly.
  • Do it yourself, book help per job, or hand it to a monthly plan.

What Webflow does for you

  • Hosting on a global CDN, with SSL included
  • Platform and security updates, without any action on your side
  • Backups and version history you can restore from

That removes most of the maintenance a WordPress site needs. It doesn't remove the work of keeping a site good.

What stays with you

  • Publish and update content: weekly to monthly. Fresh, accurate pages rank and convert better.
  • Check page speed: monthly. New images and scripts slow a site down over time.
  • Review Search Console: monthly. Spot dropping pages, crawl errors and new opportunities.
  • Fix broken links and forms: monthly. A broken form is a lost lead.
  • Check integrations: monthly. CRM and automation links can fail silently.
  • Review accessibility: quarterly. New content can introduce issues.
  • Plan improvements: quarterly. New pages, sections or tests based on what the data shows.

Three ways to organise it

Do it yourself. Your team handles content in the Editor and you call a developer when something new needs building. Works when you have a confident marketer and few integrations.

On call. You manage content and book help per job: a new template, a landing page for a campaign, a new integration. Pay per job, no commitment.

A monthly plan. We monitor speed, search performance, forms and integrations every month, fix what breaks and keep improving the site.
