Website and web app maintenance and support

Updates, monitoring, bug fixes, small enhancements and cloud cost reviews, for what we build or what someone else built, on terms agreed in writing.

What changes for you

  • Updates and security fixes applied on a schedule, not after something breaks.
  • Someone who already knows your system, on hours agreed in writing.
  • Small changes without starting a new project each time.
  • A cloud bill that is reviewed, with savings ranked by effort.

Before you call us

  • Whoever built the site or app has moved on, and nobody can change it.
  • Updates are months behind, and nobody knows what one would break.
  • Something breaks, and you hear about it from a customer.
  • The Azure bill has crept up, and nobody has looked at why.

What’s included

  • Platform and dependency updates, applied and tested on a schedule
  • Uptime and error monitoring, with alerts to us
  • Bug fixes, small changes and enhancements within the hours you choose
  • Cloud cost reviews, with each saving ranked by effort and impact
  • Taking over a site or app someone else built: audit, document and make it deployable before changing anything

Not included unless written into your scope

  • Out-of-hours or 24/7 cover
  • New features beyond the included hours, which are quoted separately
  • Third-party costs: hosting, Azure usage, licences and plugins
  • Fixing problems caused by changes made outside the agreement

How delivery works

  1. 1

    Conversation

    A call, a WhatsApp chat, or a written brief if you prefer. We ask about the outcome you need, the constraints you are under, and what has already been tried.

  2. 2

    Written scope

    Within 2 business days: a one-page scope with options and the assumptions behind them, and a fixed quote for each, or a short paid discovery first if too much is still unknown.

  3. 3

    Build in the open

    Short milestones against acceptance criteria agreed in the scope. Decisions are written down as they are made, so nothing important lives only in a meeting.

  4. 4

    Handover

    Documentation, runbooks and decision records, with access and ownership in your name. Defects found after launch are fixed within a window agreed in your scope; ongoing support is a separate, optional agreement.

What your support agreement spells out

Support is agreed in writing before it starts, so both sides know what happens when something goes wrong.

  • Service hours
  • Response targets by severity
  • Included hours each month
  • What is excluded
  • How issues are escalated
  • Ownership: the subscription, domain and accounts stay in your name, and our access is granted by you and removed when we stop

Defect fixes after launch are separate from support

Every project includes a limited window after launch for fixing defects: things that do not work as the acceptance criteria said. Its length is in your scope. Support is the separate, optional agreement for everything after that.

Ways to work with us

Timelines are planning estimates for a typical scope. Yours goes in the written scope, with a fixed quote for each option, within 2 business days of our first conversation.

  • Website care plan

    Monthly: hosting kept healthy, updates, small changes, uptime checks, and a named person to message.

  • Application support

    Monitoring, bug fixes, dependency updates, and a set number of hours each month for enhancements.

  • Cloud cost review

    One-off or regular: where the Azure bill goes, with each saving ranked by effort and impact.

  • Founder experience

    An estate nobody had documented (on our founder’s portfolio)

    Estate turnaround · Automotive

    An integration estate that arrived undocumented, deployed by hand and failing in ways nobody could explain: the order the team took it in, and the 5 decisions inside it that were our founder’s.

Common questions

Can you take over a site or app someone else built?

Yes. We start by auditing and documenting what exists and making it deployable from a pipeline, before changing any of it.

How quickly will you respond to an issue?

Response targets are set in your support agreement, by severity, so they fit what your site or app needs. There is no out-of-hours cover unless the agreement includes it.

What is the difference between the defect-fix window and support?

The defect-fix window comes with every project: things that do not work as agreed are fixed for a limited time after launch. Support is a separate, optional agreement for updates, monitoring and changes after that.

Do I need a support plan after launch?

No. Without one you get a clean handover with everything documented, and it all stays in your name.

Who owns the Azure subscription?

You do, ideally. We work in a subscription you own, with access you grant and can remove, so nothing about leaving us is hard.

What does a care plan include?

Hosting kept healthy, platform updates, uptime checks, small content changes and a named person to message. The details and hours are written into the plan.
