How much does website maintenance cost? What does it involve?
Webatoo provides one month of free website maintenance after your site goes live. During this period, we address any bugs or functionality issues to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Afterward, we offer ongoing maintenance plans that include:
- Software and plugin updates.
- Performance monitoring.
- Security checks to protect against threats.
The cost of maintenance depends on the level of support required. Contact us to discuss a plan that suits your club’s needs.
Alternatively, we offer standard packaged pricing, available here
What are the alternatives to hiring a web designer?
If you’re considering alternatives, here are your options:
- DIY Website Builders (e.g., Wix or Squarespace): These can work for simple sites but often lack the customisation and scalability needed for sports clubs.
- Social Media Only: Platforms like Facebook or Instagram can help promote your club, but they lack the flexibility and professional image of a dedicated website.
Hiring a professional web design team like Webatoo saves you time and ensures you get a website tailored to your club’s specific needs, from event calendars to membership portals.
How long does it take to build a website?
The timeline for building a website depends on:
- Website Size: A standard 4-page website (Home, About, Teams, Contact) takes about 1-2 weeks. Larger, feature-rich websites may take 3-4 weeks.
- Content Readiness: The process is quicker if you have photos, text, and other materials ready to go.
We work hard to deliver your website within 30 days, regardless of its complexity. Let’s work together to meet your timeline! You can tell us about your project in our detailed Client Discovery Form
What platform does Webatoo use to build websites?
All our websites are built on WordPress. This platform offers:
- Flexibility for future growth.

and more!
What information does Webatoo need from me to start the project?
To get started, we’ll need the following:

- Club contact details, office hours, and locations.
- Photos of your teams, events, and facilities.

By ensuring this content is ready, compiled or available publicly, we will be able to rapidly design your new website and deliver it in a timely manner.
Do you provide training on how to update the website?
Yes, we do! Once your website is complete, we’ll provide:
- A walkthrough of the WordPress dashboard.
