Website AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) in Haslet, Texas - App Basis Inc
App Basis Inc offers Website Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for businesses in Haslet, Texas and across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A Website AMC is a structured, annual service agreement that covers all of the routine technical care your website requires - security updates, software patches, performance monitoring, backups, uptime management, and technical support - under a single predictable annual fee. Instead of calling for help when something breaks and paying emergency rates, you have a professional team proactively maintaining your website all year, every year.
A website is not a one-time project. It is a business asset that depreciates without care and compounds in value with consistent attention. Businesses that treat their website as a finished product rather than a living system discover this the hard way - usually when a security breach exposes customer data, a plugin update breaks their layout the night before a major campaign, or their site gradually slows to a crawl as their hosting environment ages and their image library grows unchecked. A Website AMC prevents all of these outcomes.
What a Website AMC Covers
Our Website AMC packages are structured to cover the full scope of technical website management so nothing falls through the cracks. Core software updates are applied on a scheduled basis - WordPress core, themes, and plugins are kept current, reviewed for compatibility before application, and tested after each update cycle. Outdated software is the primary attack surface for WordPress websites, and staying current eliminates the majority of security risk.
Automated weekly backups are performed and stored off-site in geographically redundant storage. If something goes wrong - a failed update, a security incident, an accidental content deletion - we can restore your site to a clean recent state within hours. Backups that exist only on the same server as the site they are protecting are not really backups.
Uptime monitoring runs continuously. We are notified immediately if your website goes offline, and we investigate and resolve the issue - often before you or your customers notice anything was wrong. For businesses where website downtime translates directly into missed inquiries or lost sales, this rapid response capability has tangible value.
Monthly performance reviews assess page load times, Core Web Vitals scores, and any performance regressions introduced by content additions or software updates. We optimize and correct where needed, ensuring your site maintains the performance standard it was built to.
Security scanning runs on a scheduled basis to detect malware, unauthorized file changes, and suspicious user activity. If a security issue is identified, we respond immediately - containing the incident, removing any malicious content, and hardening the site against the specific vulnerability that was exploited.
Content updates - text changes, image replacements, addition of new pages or team members, and other routine modifications - are included in AMC packages at defined monthly hour allotments, so your site stays current without requiring a separate development engagement every time something needs to change.
Why AMC is the Right Model
Many businesses operate their website on a break-fix model - they only call their web developer when something is broken. This approach has predictable consequences: problems are not caught until they are severe, emergency support costs more than proactive maintenance, and the accumulation of deferred updates creates a technical debt that eventually requires a major remediation engagement.
An Annual Maintenance Contract inverts this pattern. You pay a predictable annual fee and receive proactive, ongoing care. Problems are caught early and addressed when they are minor. Updates are applied on a schedule rather than deferred until a crisis forces action. Your website is consistently performing well rather than recovering from periodic neglect. For businesses in Haslet and DFW that rely on their website for customer acquisition and business credibility, this is the correct operating model.
AMC Tiers for Different Business Needs
Not every website has the same maintenance requirements. A simple five-page brochure site for a local service business has different needs from a high-traffic WooCommerce store with hundreds of products and daily order volume. Our AMC tiers are structured to match the level of care to the complexity and business criticality of the site.
Our Essential tier covers the core maintenance requirements for straightforward business websites: monthly software updates, weekly backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning, and basic support. Our Professional tier adds priority response times, monthly performance reviews, a content update hour allotment, and more frequent monitoring intervals - appropriate for active business sites where downtime has real cost. Our Commerce tier is designed for WooCommerce stores and high-traffic web applications, with daily monitoring, weekly performance reviews, WooCommerce-specific compatibility management, and dedicated support response times that reflect the revenue impact of any downtime or technical issue.
What Is Not Included in a Standard AMC
A Website AMC covers ongoing maintenance - it is not a new development engagement. Major new feature development, site redesigns, new page builds that require design work, and integration development are scoped separately. Within each AMC tier, a monthly hour allotment covers content updates and minor adjustments. Work that exceeds that allotment in a given month is billed at a preferential AMC rate, and major projects are scoped and quoted as separate engagements. We are transparent about this distinction from the beginning so there are no surprises.
Transitioning an Existing Website to AMC
We maintain websites we did not originally build, subject to a technical onboarding review. Before committing to an AMC for an existing site, we conduct a technical assessment - reviewing the site's current state, identifying any issues that need to be addressed before ongoing maintenance can be effective, and producing a brief report of findings. If remediation work is required (security hardening, major update catches, plugin cleanup), we quote it separately as a pre-AMC engagement. Once the site is in a maintainable state, AMC coverage begins.
