What we look after
The quiet work behind a reliable website.
Our maintenance combines routine checks with deliberate changes. Each site gets a care plan based on its platform, business needs and risk.
Security & protection
We review vulnerabilities, suspicious activity, SSL health and practical hardening measures, then prioritise the issues that need action.
Backups & recovery
We check that backups are running and that a viable restore path exists. Backup frequency, retention and off-site storage are agreed for your site.
Performance & usability
We track loading experience, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability and errors, then target the changes that will make the biggest difference.
Uptime & error checks
Monitoring helps surface outages, broken forms and degraded pages early, with an agreed route for investigating and responding.
Content & search health
We identify broken links, outdated information, indexing problems and metadata that needs attention. Content edits are handled within an agreed scope.
A rhythm, not a rigid checklist
The maintenance schedule.
These are the checks we plan around. Urgent risks can move ahead of the calendar, and the exact frequency is agreed for each website.

How we work
Considered changes. Clear decisions.
We start by understanding the site, then act according to risk and impact. You know what was done and what deserves attention next.
Assess the site
We review the platform, access, current updates, backups, forms, speed and known issues. Existing sites can start here.
Plan and maintain
We prioritise security and reliability, schedule updates, and test higher-risk changes before deployment where the setup allows.
Report and improve
We record completed work, surface emerging risks and recommend the next useful changes. Extra work is scoped before it begins.
What a useful report looks like
Know the state of your site.
Maintenance should be visible even when everything is working. Our reports focus on completed actions, open risks and recommendations you can use.

Questions, answered
Website maintenance FAQs.
Thinking about ongoing website support in Uganda? Here are the details people ask us about most.
How do I choose the best website maintenance agency in Uganda?
Look for a team that checks backups before risky updates, explains its monitoring and response process, tests changes when needed, and reports the work it completes. GICT Africa starts with a review so the care plan matches your website rather than a generic checklist.
What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance is the ongoing care that keeps a live site secure, reliable and useful. It includes checking updates, monitoring, backups, performance, errors and the technical health of your content.
How often will you work on my website?
Checks are scheduled around your site and its risk. Monitoring can run continuously, while updates and deeper reviews are planned weekly, monthly or quarterly as appropriate. We agree the actual cadence during onboarding.
Can you maintain a site GICT Africa did not build or host?
Yes. We start with a review of its platform, hosting, access, backups and current risks. We then confirm what can be maintained safely and what should be fixed first.
Do you work with WordPress and other platforms?
Yes. We can assess WordPress and custom websites. The exact update, staging and recovery process depends on the platform and its hosting setup.
What is the difference between maintenance and website support?
Maintenance covers planned preventive care. Website support also includes requested fixes, new features and larger changes. We can scope both together when your site needs them.
How much does website maintenance cost in Uganda?
Our catalog lists website maintenance from $99 per year. The final scope, content-edit allowance, monitoring setup and any extra work are confirmed after reviewing your website. Larger repairs or redesigns are quoted separately.
Will I receive a report?
Yes. The catalog service includes a monthly report. We can also review trends and recommendations together at a broader quarterly check-in when that fits your care plan.
