Overview

Software that is live needs looking after: dependencies and platforms need updating, security patches need applying, backups need checking, and small changes and fixes keep coming up. We take that on as an ongoing arrangement so it is somebody's job.

We support sites and applications we did not build, after a short onboarding review. Plans are month to month with a clear scope and response times, no lock-in.

Typical starting points

  • The original developer has moved on or gone quiet
  • Updates and patches have been skipped for months
  • Small changes pile up with nobody to do them
  • No one is sure whether the backups work

Problems We Solve

What "no one is maintaining it" actually costs.

Unpatched software and known vulnerabilities

Scheduled updates for the platform, plugins, libraries and server, tested before they go live.

A backlog of small changes nobody owns

A monthly allowance of change hours so content edits, tweaks and minor features actually get done.

Downtime discovered late

Uptime and error monitoring with alerts to us, and an agreed response time when something breaks.

Backups that may not be usable

Automated backups with periodic test restores, so recovery is proven, not assumed.

What a Plan Covers

Updates & Patching

Core, dependencies, plugins and OS packages kept current, on a schedule, with a staging check.

Security Monitoring

Malware and integrity scanning, TLS and firewall checks, and prompt response to advisories.

Backups & Recovery

Automated off-site backups and tested restores, with a documented recovery process.

Uptime & Performance

Monitoring, alerting, and periodic performance and Core Web Vitals checks.

Content & Change Requests

A monthly block of hours for edits, small features and fixes, tracked and reported.

We can manage your hosting and domains, or host the site ourselves as part of the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you support a site your team didn't build?

Yes. Most of our support clients came to us that way. We start with an onboarding review to understand what we are taking on.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Plans are month to month with a notice period. You keep all access and can leave with everything you need.

What happens if the site is hacked or goes down?

We respond within the plan's agreed window, restore from a known-good backup if needed, close the entry point, and report on what happened.

Do unused change hours roll over?

A limited rollover is included so a quiet month is not wasted, up to a cap set in the plan.

Need someone to look after what you run?

Send us the site or app and its hosting details, and we will start with an onboarding review.
