Maintenance contract for a portfolio of WordPress and Webflow sites in Amsterdam: 2026 pricing

The verdict in three sentences

For a portfolio of 5 WordPress and Webflow sites, budget EUR 750 to 3,000 per month excluding VAT in 2026, depending on service level, plus a takeover audit of EUR 900 to 1,800 the first time. A good contract is judged on three written clauses: response within 4 business hours, tested off-site backups and an hourly-priced change allowance. A portfolio left unpatched since a freelancer left gets more expensive to fix with every month that passes.

What a maintenance contract covers in 2026

WordPress and Webflow do not require the same work. A WordPress site ships a core, a theme and often 20 to 40 plugins that must be updated, tested and monitored. Webflow is hosted and updated by the vendor: maintenance focuses on content, forms, integrations (CRM, analytics), performance and the hosting plan billing.

These amounts are 2026 orders of magnitude observed in Western European markets, including the Netherlands, for corporate sites of 15 to 60 pages. A WordPress site with WooCommerce or an intranet falls outside this grid.

How much for your 5-site portfolio: three scenarios

An engineering group rarely needs the same level on every site. The group site and the careers site generate contact requests and applications: they deserve the Premium level. Rarely updated subsidiary sites can stay on Standard or Essential.

The balanced scenario is the most common for a group of 200 to 800 employees. Ask for the multi-site discount to be written into the contract and to remain valid if you add a sixth site mid-year.

The clauses that make the difference

A EUR 200 monthly quote can hide an empty service. Check these points before signing.

• Incident definition: site down, broken form, hacked page. The 4-hour clock must start from your report or the monitoring alert, not from when the provider reads it.
• Monitoring: a probe every 1 to 5 minutes with alerts. Without it, you learn about the outage from a client.
• Backups outside the host: a copy on separate storage, kept 90 days, with a restore test at least quarterly and a written report.
• Account ownership: hosting, domain and Webflow accounts must be in your name. It is the first problem after a freelancer leaves.
• Hour rollover: can unused change hours roll over one month? If not, you pay for lost time.
• Reversibility: handover of all access and documentation within 15 days at contract end, free of charge.

Mini case study

Lotte, communications manager of an engineering group in Amsterdam, inherits 5 sites with no provider for 7 months. The takeover audit (EUR 1,400) reveals 3 WordPress sites with 26 outdated plugins, including 4 known vulnerabilities, and no backup outside the host.

She picks the balanced scenario: 1 group site on Premium (EUR 500), 2 subsidiaries on Standard (2 x EUR 320), 2 Webflow sites (2 x EUR 200), i.e. EUR 1,540 per month, minus a 10% multi-site discount, so EUR 1,386 per month excluding VAT. She adds the 10-hour change allowance (EUR 750). Monthly total: EUR 2,136, i.e. EUR 25,632 per year plus the audit.

Before, her team spent about 12 hours a month firefighting, at a loaded hourly cost of EUR 55, i.e. EUR 660. A single post-hack restoration by an emergency provider is commonly billed EUR 2,500 to 4,000. The contract pays for itself with the first incident avoided.

FAQ

Do Webflow sites need a separate contract?

Not necessarily, but the price should differ. Webflow handles engine updates, so EUR 150 to 300 per month covers content, forms and monitoring, versus EUR 250 to 600 for a WordPress site.

What does a EUR 900 to 1,800 takeover audit include?

An inventory of access, versions and plugins, a security scan, a backup test and a prioritized action plan. Count roughly EUR 200 to 350 per site depending on size, delivered within 10 days.

Is response within 4 business hours realistic?

Yes for a structured provider, on 9 am to 6 pm weekday hours. Evening and weekend on-call usually adds 20 to 30% to the monthly price.

What commitment length should I accept?

12 months is the norm, with 1 to 3 months' notice. Refuse 36-month commitments without an exit clause tied to missed response times.

Should WordPress sites be migrated to Webflow?

Not systematically. A migration costs EUR 3,000 to 8,000 per corporate site; it makes sense if the site has few specific features and your team wants to edit content alone.
