Website and app maintenance retainers with real response times

Launch day is not the end of the work. Plugins need updates, dependencies need patches, forms break, and someone needs to answer when the site goes down at midnight. Our retainers give you a named engineer who knows your stack, a fixed monthly block of hours, uptime monitoring with alerts, and a short report every month on what changed and what we recommend next.

Sound familiar?

The developer who built it is gone

The freelancer moved on, the agency closed the project, and now nobody knows how the site deploys or where the passwords live. Every small change becomes a new hiring process.

Updates skipped until something breaks

Plugin and framework updates pile up because nobody has time to test them. Then a security patch forces everything at once, something breaks, and the store is down on a weekday.

Small requests that take weeks

A banner change, a new form field, a price update. Each one waits for a quote, a scope and a slot, so simple work takes longer than it should and your team stops asking.

How we do it

  1. 1

    Onboard

    We take over the codebase, hosting, DNS and credentials, document how everything deploys, set up staging, monitoring and backups, and fix the urgent issues found during the review.

  2. 2

    Maintain

    Updates are tested on staging and applied on a schedule, uptime checks alert us before customers notice, and backups are verified so a restore is a known procedure rather than a hope.

  3. 3

    Respond

    Requests go to a shared board with agreed response times. Fixes and small features draw from your monthly hours, and anything larger gets a short quote the same week.

  4. 4

    Report

    Each month you get a one-page summary of what we changed, hours used, uptime, performance scores and what we recommend next, so the site improves instead of just surviving.
