What is included

The package splits into a predictable part, meaning updates, backups and monitoring, and a number of hours for edits.

Discuss the scope

Edits on request

Text, images, new pages, small improvements within an agreed number of hours.

Updates

Platform, modules, environment. Installed on a test copy first, then on production.

Backups

Files and database daily, stored outside the site server.

Monitoring

Availability, speed, expiry of the domain and the certificate, whether the forms still work.

Security

Monitoring file changes, restricting access to the administration area, reviewing suspicious activity.

Reporting

What was done during the month, which updates were installed, how many hours were used.

How the work runs

We start with acceptance: we need to understand what condition the site is in before taking responsibility for it.

01

Acceptance

An audit of the site and the access credentials, a check of backups and updates. We record the current state in a report.

02

Putting things in order

We close the critical items: an outdated platform, missing backups, an exposed administration area.

03

Regular work

Edits, updates, monitoring, a monthly report.

04

Development

We propose improvements based on analytics rather than simply waiting for tasks.

A contact form fails more quietly than anything else. An email setting or a certificate expiry changes, the messages stop arriving, and the company goes months without enquiries while wondering why demand has dropped. Checking that forms still send has to be part of the monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

For a site that changes rarely, two to four hours a month is enough. For an active project with promotions and new sections, from eight. We start with the minimum package and adjust after the first months based on what actually happens.

Yes. Most breaches happen through known vulnerabilities in outdated versions for which fixes were released long ago. Updating is the cheapest protection there is, and recovering from a breach costs many times more.

We take on other people projects too. We start with an audit: we look at the state of the code, the updates and the backups and record in a report what we received. Sometimes the honest conclusion is to recommend a rebuild rather than maintain something that does not work.

We will take the site on for maintenance

Send us the site address and tell us what needs doing regularly. We will run an audit and propose a package of hours.
