Onboarding

Taking over an existing website

Most clients come to us with an existing website. Here's how we get up to speed.

  1. 01

    Audit your current setup

    We review your hosting, plugins, security, and overall site health.

  2. 02

    Fix critical issues

    We address any urgent problems - broken pages, outdated software, security gaps.

  3. 03

    Ensure backups and security

    We set up automated backups, monitoring, and baseline protections.

  4. 04

    Stabilise performance

    We optimise load times, clean up unnecessary bloat, and establish a maintenance baseline.

One-time onboarding fee applies depending on site complexity.

Why maintenance matters

What happens without maintenance

01

Security

Outdated plugins and themes are the #1 cause of hacked websites.

02

Performance

Slow websites lose visitors, rankings, and conversions.

03

Reliability

Without ongoing support, small issues turn into bigger problems.

04

Peace of mind

You don't need to worry about your website - we handle it.

Why us

A better alternative to freelancers and one-off developers

No disappearing after launch

We don't hand off a website and vanish. You get consistent, ongoing support from the same team.

No chasing for updates

Updates, patches, and fixes happen on schedule - you don't need to follow up.

No patchy maintenance

Every plan includes a clear scope of work. You know exactly what's covered.

A team that knows your website

We learn your setup, your platform, and your priorities - so support is fast and informed.

You get a team that knows your website and keeps it running properly.

Scope

Built by us - or not

You don't need to have your website built by us to use our maintenance plans. We regularly take over websites from other developers, agencies, or DIY platforms and bring them up to standard.

Frequently asked Questions

Onboarding, WooCommerce, hosting, and what happens when something breaks.

What is the onboarding fee?

A one-time fee that covers the initial audit, fixing critical issues, and setting up backups, monitoring and baseline security. It depends on the size and condition of the site, and we quote it up front after a free initial review, before you commit to a plan.

Can you maintain a WooCommerce store?

Yes. We maintain WooCommerce stores on the Professional and Premium plans. For stores with meaningful daily revenue we recommend Premium, which adds real-time backups, a staging environment for testing updates before they go live, and advanced security hardening.

Do you need to have built the website to maintain it?

No. Most clients come to us with a site built by another developer, agency or DIY platform. We audit it, bring it up to standard during onboarding, and maintain it from there.

Is hosting included in the maintenance plans?

Hosting can be included. We can host your site on managed servers we control, or maintain it on your existing hosting if it is reliable. Where hosting is included, the cost is confirmed in your quote based on traffic and storage needs.

What counts as content updates?

Text and image changes, new pages built from existing templates, plugin configuration, and small layout tweaks. Professional includes up to two hours a month and Premium up to five. Larger pieces of work, such as new functionality or a redesign, are quoted separately.

What happens if my website goes down or is hacked?

Uptime monitoring alerts us when the site is unreachable and we investigate straight away. If the site is compromised, we clean it, restore from the most recent clean backup, patch the entry point, and report back on what happened and what changed.
