We keep the sites and software we build running

A care plan covers hosting, updates, security and support hours, sized to how much your business depends on its site. The team that built it keeps it current.

A site ages from launch day

A website is software running in public. From launch on, the platform under it ships updates and the tools it connects to change, while the business it serves keeps moving.

So care is ongoing work: updates applied and checked, problems caught early and improvements as you learn what the site needs next. We have kept client sites running since 2016.

Fernwood Bakehouse

A custom cake order goes to the one kitchen with the right pans and decorator, and every register works from that order. Fernwood is a company we invented, so we could build its website and back office in full.

Two ways a site ages

Left alone

Once the project wraps and everyone moves on.

  • Updates pile up until applying them feels risky
  • Nobody knows where the domain and backups live
  • Small breakages add up to a tired, glitchy site

Looked after

The team that built it stays involved.

  • Updates applied on a schedule, then checked
  • Monitoring catches problems early
  • Improvements land a little at a time

Plans sized to the stakes

A five-page site for a lawn care company and a donor portal processing gifts every day don’t need the same care. Scoping starts with what you run and what an hour of downtime would cost you, and you get the plan in writing, with the hours and the price, before anything is signed.

Year three should bring small improvements, not a costly rescue
