Your website isn’t a crockpot. You can’t just set it up and walk away for three years.
Think of it like a car. Sure, it runs fine today. But skip the oil changes, ignore the warning lights, and one day you’re stranded on the highway with smoke pouring from the hood.
Websites are the same way. They need regular care—security updates, speed tune-ups, and problem prevention. Without it, you’re gambling with your business.
At Opel Solutions, we’re the pit crew for your website. Based in San Diego, serving businesses everywhere, we keep your site secure, fast, and working hard for you 24/7.

What Happens When You Ignore Your Website?
(Spoiler: Nothing Good)
Hackers Are Always Knocking
Outdated plugins and themes are like leaving your front door unlocked. Hackers love them. One security breach can cost $3,000-$10,000 to fix, tank your Google rankings, and destroy customer trust.
Google Notices Everything
Slow site? Broken links? Poor mobile experience? Google sees it all and pushes you down in search results. Well-maintained sites climb higher. Neglected sites disappear.
Customers Have Zero Patience
Your site takes 8 seconds to load? Half your visitors are gone by second three. Every slow second costs you money.
Small Problems Become Big Disasters
That tiny compatibility issue today? It’s a site-breaking emergency next week. Regular maintenance catches problems when they’re easy and cheap to fix.
Your Tech Gets Old Fast
WordPress updates constantly. PHP evolves. Browsers change. Without maintenance, your site becomes that dusty computer in your grandma’s basement—outdated and barely functional.
The Bottom Line: Maintenance isn’t an expense. It’s insurance for your revenue stream.

The True Cost of Neglect
Real Scenarios That Happen to Real Businesses
The $10,000 Hack
Your site gets hacked. Now you’re paying for recovery, losing sales during downtime, and watching customers flee. One security breach often costs more than five years of maintenance.
The Slow Death Spiral
Your site accumulates digital junk—bloated databases, oversized images, unused plugins. Load time crept from 3 seconds to 10 seconds. 53% of mobile users bail. That’s half your potential customers, gone.
The Silent Killer
Your PHP version updates. Your site breaks. Quietly. Forms stop working. Checkout fails. You don’t notice until customers complain that they can’t buy from you. How much did you lose?
The SEO Fade
Your rankings don’t vanish overnight—they erode slowly. Broken links pile up. Competitors with better-maintained sites overtake you. By the time you notice you’ve dropped from page 1 to page 3, recovery costs more than prevention ever would.
The Emergency Tax
Something breaks during your busiest sales period. Emergency fixes cost 2-3X regular maintenance. Plus stress, lost sleep, and missed opportunities.
Smart business owners get it: You can pay a little now for prevention, or a lot later for emergencies.

Content Updates
Need text changed? Image swapped? New page added? Send us the update, and we’ll handle it—usually within 24-48 hours. You run your business; we update your site.
Bulletproof Backups
Daily backups are stored in multiple locations. But here’s the key: we actually test them to make sure they work. Many businesses discover their backups are useless only after disaster strikes.

Uptime Monitoring
We check your site every minute. If it goes down, we get alerted instantly and start fixing it—often before you even know there’s a problem.
Server Management
We optimize your hosting environment, manage SSL certificates, handle DNS, and ensure your server supports peak performance.
Database Spring Cleaning
Your database accumulates junk over time—old revisions, spam comments, temporary data. We clean it regularly, keeping your site fast.
Accessibility Compliance
Web accessibility is legally required and the right thing to do. We maintain compliance so everyone can use your site—and you avoid legal trouble.
Why Prevention Beats Panic?
The Math Is Simple
Maintenance: $200-500/month
Emergency repairs: $5,000-15,000
Which would you rather pay?
Prevention Eliminates Emergencies
Maintained sites rarely break. Security holes get patched before hackers find them. Performance issues get caught before customers complain.
Small Improvements Compound
Every month, your site gets a bit faster, more secure, more user-friendly. After two years of maintenance, your site performs dramatically better than launch day.
You Sleep Better
Running a business is stressful enough. Professional maintenance means experts are watching your site so you don’t have to.
Your Investment Keeps Paying Off
You spent thousands building your website. Maintenance protects that investment. Without it, your site slowly becomes worthless as technology moves on.
Room to Grow
Want to add features? Launch new products? Expand? A well-maintained site makes growth easy. A neglected site becomes a roadblock requiring expensive rebuilds.

Lawyers, doctors, consultants, accountants—you need credibility. A broken website screams “unprofessional.” Plus, secure contact forms and HIPAA compliance matter.
