Software needs looking after. Our care plans cover the updates, backups and monitoring that prevent problems, and the time to fix and improve things when you need it. We also take on existing projects from other developers.
Most website emergencies are avoidable: an expired certificate, a plugin that was never updated, a full disk, a backup that did not run. A care plan handles all of that quietly in the background and tells you about it once a month.
Plans are sized by the number of hours of changes included each month, from a small business website through to a busy web application. Unused hours roll over for one month. You can change or cancel your plan with 30 days’ notice.
If your original developer has moved on, we can take over. We start with a paid audit covering security, code quality, hosting and documentation, then give you a prioritised list of what needs doing and what can wait. Old PHP and Laravel versions are a speciality.
