Who we support most often

A store and a corporate site need different kinds of care. We shape the scope around your case, not a one-size-fits-all price list

  • 01

    A site with no in-house developer

    The site was built long ago, the developer left, and it still needs edits every week — from a home page banner to a new service page

    • Content edits without the wait
    • Small improvements billed hourly
    • One point of contact, no freelancer hunt
    • You see where the hours went
  • 02

    A store where downtime costs money

    An hour offline means lost orders and wasted ad spend. A store needs ongoing oversight, not a fix when someone calls

    • Cart and payment monitoring
    • Product and price sync checks
    • Incident response time in the contract
    • Daily backups of the order database
  • 03

    A site on an enterprise CMS

    A heavy licensed system with updates and an ERP data exchange. Without regular maintenance it quickly piles up errors and slows down

    • Core and module updates
    • License renewed on time
    • ERP sync kept in check
    • Cache cleanup and faster pages
  • 04

    A WordPress site

    Plugins update on their own and break the layout, while outdated ones become a security hole. You need someone who does it carefully and in order

    • Updates tested on a copy first
    • Plugins and themes under control
    • Brute-force login protection
    • Malware cleanup after a hack
  • 05

    A site after your vendor left

    No credentials, no documentation, no idea where anything lives. We start with a handover: collect access and document how the site works

    • We collect credentials and permissions
    • We untangle someone else’s code
    • We move it to proper hosting
    • A tech-debt list: what to fix first
  • 06

    A company with several sites

    The main site, promo landing pages and branch subdomains. Keeping them in sync is easier with one team than with three vendors

    • One contract for every domain
    • A shared pool of hours per month
    • One report across all sites
    • You set the priorities

How a typical task goes

Six steps from “something broke” to the monthly report. At each one you can see where the task is and when it will be done

  1. 01Something broke

    Spots a problem

    A page won’t open, an update broke the layout, form leads stopped coming in. Or you just need to change a price and post some news

  2. 02One point of contact

    Writes to one place

    Telegram, email or a ticket in your tracker — whatever suits you. The person who will do the work sees the request right away, no “I’ll pass it on to the manager”

  3. 03Priority and deadline

    The task gets queued

    If the site is down, we jump on it right away and reply within two business hours. A routine edit goes into the weekly plan. You see a deadline, not silence

  4. 04Fix and check

    We do it and show you

    Anything complex is tested on a copy of the site first, then rolled out to production. After each task we tell you exactly what changed and show it on the live site

  5. 05Hours by task

    Gets a monthly report

    At the end of the month — a list of what was done with hours for each task. You see where the money went, not a single “monthly retainer” line for the full amount

  6. 06Monthly plan

    Plans the next month

    A half-hour call: what hurts, what to improve, which improvements to take on next. Scale the plan up for bigger tasks or down in a quiet season

In every maintenance contract

  1. 01Response time written into the contract
  2. 02Edits to copy, prices and images
  3. 03System, module and plugin updates
  4. 04Security patches applied without delay
  5. 05Backups with tested restores
  6. 06Round-the-clock uptime monitoring
  7. 07Domain and SSL certificate expiry tracking
  8. 08Speed checks and a list of what to fix
  9. 09Improvements billed from your plan’s hours
  10. 10A monthly report with hours by task

We work with what you already have

We won’t make you migrate for the vendor’s convenience. We take the site as it is — on an enterprise CMS, WordPress or custom code

We maintain sites and systems on: WordPress, Next.js, React, MODX, OpenCart, Bitrix24, amoCRM, Analytics

Before signing, we open the site and check its state: which updates were missed, whether backups exist, where the speed bottlenecks are. You get the list of issues either way

What’s included every month

Maintenance isn’t “we’re available.” It’s specific work that happens every month, even when you haven’t asked for anything

  • Updates and security patches

    We install system, module and library updates — first on a copy of the site, then on production. So an update doesn’t break the layout, forms or payments

  • Backups with tested restores

    Scheduled backups of files and the database, stored separately from the site. Once a month we restore a backup to make sure the site can really be brought back from it

  • Uptime and certificate monitoring

    The site is checked every minute, around the clock. If it stops responding, we find out about the outage, not your customer. Domain and certificate expiry stay under watch

  • Content edits

    Prices, copy, photos, news, banners, a new service page. Send it in any form, even a voice message — we format it to fit the site ourselves

  • A report with hours

    At the end of the month, a list of tasks with hours for each. It’s clear what was done and how long it took, with no catch-all “site maintenance” line

  • Insurance against downtime

    If the site goes down, there’s something to roll back to and someone to do it. You don’t scramble for a vendor or wait for someone to remember the hosting password

Website support: plans

  • Night and weekend on-call, not just business hours
  • Several sites and subdomains under one contract
  • A custom-built system with no documentation or source code
  • One-off work: malware cleanup after a hack, a move to new hosting

How we get started

  1. 01

    We review the site

    1–2 days

    We look at the site and its internals: what it’s built on, what hasn’t been updated in a while, whether backups exist. You get the list of issues either way, even if we don’t work together

  2. 02

    Handover and access

    2–5 days

    We collect access to the domain, hosting, admin panel and email, and set up monitoring and backups. We document how everything works so it isn’t known to just one person

  3. 03

    The first month

    30 days

    We fix the urgent items from the issue list and agree on priorities and how to file tasks. At the end of the month — the first report with hours

  4. 04

    Then on repeat

    monthly

    Every month: scheduled work, your tasks, a report and a call. The contract is month-to-month, with no obligation to pay a year in advance

Ask on Telegram
  1. Depends on the hours you need; a fixed quote after the review

    The cost depends on how many hours a month you actually need. Oversight of a corporate site, maintenance with improvements and a dedicated team are priced very differently. Monitoring, backups and updates are included in every plan; the hours go toward your tasks. You get a fixed monthly quote after we review the site

  2. The site is monitored around the clock; people work business hours

    Monitoring runs around the clock: if the site stops responding, we get an alert at night and on weekends. We respond and fix things during business hours, within two hours. Round-the-clock on-call staff is a separate line in the contract: we charge extra for it honestly rather than promise to be “always available” and stay silent until morning

  3. Yes, we start with a handover

    That’s half of our contracts. First we look at what the site is built on, collect credentials and document how it works, then we start maintaining it. If the code is really bad, we’ll say so honestly: rebuilding is cheaper than fixing it forever

  4. Yes, and with several other systems

    WordPress, MODX, OpenCart, licensed enterprise CMS platforms, and sites built on Next.js and React. We update the core and modules, keep an eye on license renewals, and test WordPress plugin updates on a copy before installing them on the live site

  5. Every hour shows up in the report

    Even a quiet month has work: updates, backup checks, reviewing monitoring alerts, speed. All of it goes into the report. If hours are still left over, we’ll suggest how to use them or move you to a smaller plan

  6. You do. We only use them

    The domain, hosting and admin panel stay yours; we work under separate accounts. Backups go to your storage or ours — whichever we agree on. If we part ways, we hand everything over and walk you through how the site works

  7. Scope of work and response time are in the contract

    The contract states what we do every month, how quickly we respond to a request and how many hours the plan includes. At the end of the month — a report with hours by task. A retainer with no list of work is just paying for someone to maybe pick up the phone
