What does website maintenance involve?
Website maintenance is the ongoing work of monitoring, updating, securing, fixing, and improving a live website after its initial release. CodeActivv starts by connecting the work to the customer journey, operational constraints, and commercial result you want to improve.
The right website maintenance engagement is not a feature checklist. It is a practical sequence of decisions about content, design, engineering, measurement, and ownership that reduces delivery risk.
Our team documents assumptions early, gives stakeholders useful trade-offs, and turns approved priorities into work that can be tested before it affects customers.
