Service 08

Keep your website fast, secure and improving every month, without hiring.

Managed hosting, updates, backups, security and monthly improvements for a fixed monthly fee.

A website is never finished. Plugins need updating, pages need adding, Google changes the rules and someone has to answer when a form stops sending. Our care plans cover all of that for a fixed monthly fee, with evening and weekend cover for emergencies.

We look after sites we built and sites we inherited. If another agency built yours, we audit it first, fix the urgent problems and then keep it healthy. For a full team on a monthly retainer, see our dedicated development team service.
