A fully managed web presence
Based in Calgary, BitForward supports local businesses with reliable website maintenance services designed for long-term stability, performance, and growth.
Your website is a critical business asset. When performance drops or issues go unnoticed, it affects enquiries, credibility, and operations.
This service combines managed hosting and ongoing maintenance into one proactive system. In simple terms, website maintenance is the ongoing process of keeping a site secure, updated, performant, and reliable after launch.
We handle infrastructure, monitoring, updates, backups, and technical upkeep, so your site remains secure, fast, and reliable. Rather than waiting for problems to surface, we monitor performance, reduce risk, and make small improvements that keep your site effective over time.
You get reliable, professional website maintenance services without the overhead of managing servers or responding to unexpected technical issues.
Benefits
Why website maintenance is important
Managed hosting and website maintenance supports reliability and uptime. Ongoing maintenance protects security, performance, and long-term stability. Together, they reduce risk and protect your investment.

Security & Stability
For most businesses, ongoing maintenance is essential to protect performance, security, search visibility, and customer trust over time. We apply updates safely, monitor for threats, and harden your setup to reduce vulnerabilities.
-
Peace of Mind
No more worrying about updates, security issues, or unexpected downtime. If something goes wrong, it’s already being handled.
-
Performance & Speed
We monitor Core Web Vitals, optimize performance, and maintain a clean, efficient setup. Faster sites convert better, rank better, and feel more trustworthy, especially on mobile.
