Your Product Deserves an Always-On Guardian

Monthly retainer plans that keep your digital products secure, performant and evolving — with guaranteed response times, dedicated communication and proactive monitoring so issues are caught before your users notice them.

Beyond Launch — Keeping Your Product at Its Best

Launching a product is the beginning, not the end. Frameworks release security patches. Dependencies age. Traffic spikes test infrastructure. Features need iterating based on real user feedback. Without a reliable maintenance partner, technical debt accumulates silently until it becomes a crisis.

Our maintenance retainers are built around prevention, not reaction. We monitor your application around the clock, apply security updates before vulnerabilities are exploited, audit performance regularly and maintain a prioritised queue of improvements. You get peace of mind, your users get reliability, and your product keeps getting better.

  • 24/7 uptime monitoring with SMS/email/Slack alerting in under 2 minutes
  • Priority bug fix SLA: critical issues within 2 hours, standard within 24 hours
  • Monthly security audits and dependency updates — stay ahead of CVEs
  • Dedicated Slack channel with named engineers, not a ticket queue
  • Monthly health report: performance, uptime, security and recommendations
  • Flexible hours pool — unused hours roll forward, never wasted

Common Questions About
Maintenance & Support

We offer three tiers: Starter (10 hours/month — monitoring, patches, critical fixes), Growth (20 hours/month — adds feature development and monthly audits) and Premium (40 hours/month — full-service with dedicated engineer and 2-hour SLA). Custom plans are available for specific needs.
Critical issues (site down, security breach, data integrity risk) — acknowledged within 30 minutes, resolved within 2 hours. Standard bugs — acknowledged same business day, resolved within 24 hours. Non-urgent improvements — added to the next sprint cycle.
Yes — most clients split their hours between maintenance (monitoring, patches, fixes) and incremental development (new features, UX improvements, performance work). The balance is up to you each month.
Yes. Unused hours accumulate for up to 3 months. This gives you flexibility for quieter periods without wasting budget — and a buffer when you have a bigger feature push.
Absolutely. We start with a paid technical audit (1–2 weeks) to understand the codebase, infrastructure and current issues. We then document everything thoroughly before moving to a retainer. We've successfully onboarded many projects we didn't originally build.
