Software updates
Review relevant CMS, plugin and theme updates and check agreed functions after changes. Unsupported components may need separate replacement work.
Website maintenance & technical support
Keep your website up to date and make improvements with a developer who gets to know the setup.
Is this the right help for you?
For business websites and online stores that need someone to look after updates, backups and recurring technical tasks. I review your setup with you and suggest a practical maintenance arrangement, including time for the small improvements you keep putting off.
Backups and recovery
Agree what is backed up, where copies are kept and who handles restoration. Backup frequency and recovery checks depend on the site and plan.
Monitoring
Define which availability or technical signals are monitored, how alerts are handled and what the agreed response arrangements cover.
Security checks
Review updates, access and visible risks within the agreed scope. Maintenance reduces avoidable exposure but cannot guarantee a site will never be compromised.
Small improvements
Use agreed development time for focused fixes or adjustments. Larger changes are estimated separately so the scope stays understandable.
Website takeover and handover
Take stock of a site built by another developer: access, source files, licences, hosting and known problems. Agree what can be maintained and what first needs separate repair work.
Technical advice
Discuss issues and upcoming changes with the developer, with a record of work completed and recommendations for next steps.
A website built by someone else? You do not have to start again
Your previous developer may be unavailable, or you may simply need a different kind of support. I can review an existing WordPress site, WooCommerce or PrestaShop store, static website or custom application and explain whether I can look after it. The first step is understanding what you already have, not selling you a replacement.
The review covers available access, hosting, domains, backups, source files, paid components and the functions your business relies on. You receive a practical handover plan: what can stay, what needs attention and what information is still missing. I also check which accounts and licences belong to you and which depend on the previous supplier.
A takeover review, any initial repairs and ongoing maintenance are priced separately where needed. We agree what I will look after, available support time and how changes are approved. If something cannot be maintained safely, I explain the options before we commit. Your existing URLs and useful content are considered before any rebuild or migration.
How the work moves forward
Review the baseline
Inspect the platform, hosting, dependencies and existing backup arrangements.
Choose the right support
Agree the regular tasks, available development time and how you can ask for help.
Maintain and check
Carry out the agreed work and verify the relevant website functions after changes.
Review priorities
Explain completed work and separate routine maintenance from new development or unresolved risks.
Before we begin
Scope, practical limits and the information needed for a useful estimate.
Does support include unlimited work or 24/7 cover?+
No. Available time, coverage and response expectations are agreed for the arrangement. Extra development or emergency work is not automatically included.
Can you maintain a site you did not build?+
Yes. I review the existing website first and explain what I can take over. A rebuild is not the default. Existing errors, outdated software or missing access may need a separate stabilisation project before routine support begins.
What if I no longer have contact with the previous developer?+
We start with the accounts, invoices, hosting and source files you control. Access recovery depends on the provider and proof of ownership; I cannot promise access to an account you do not own. Do not cancel services or share passwords in the form. We agree how any provider or previous-supplier contact is handled.
Is hosting included?+
Hosting and third-party subscriptions are not automatically included in development or support. We identify the existing providers, responsibilities and any separate costs in the agreement.
What determines the monthly scope?+
The platform, business-critical features, update workload, backup requirements, monitoring and time for improvements. A brochure site and an active online store need different coverage.
One-off website repair
If something is already broken, diagnose the incident and establish a stable baseline first.
Cleanup of a compromised WordPress site
Malware recovery is a separate investigation, not an assumed part of routine updates.
Linux VPS setup and security
For initial server configuration or a review before agreeing separate ongoing administration.
Let’s get your website into reliable hands
Share the URL, what you want help with and whether you are taking over from another developer. You do not need a complete technical handover to start the conversation.
