Is monthly maintenance necessary, and what does it cost? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
It is necessary for any site that receives user data or processes payments, because security vulnerabilities are continuously discovered in the libraries it uses and need patching. A basic maintenance contract — backups, security updates, uptime monitoring, and small content edits — runs SAR 300 to 1,500 a month. A fully static brochure site can get by with a quarterly review instead of a monthly contract.
