Maintenance & ongoing support

Keep what you built healthy — security updates, dependency upgrades, incident response, and small improvements, handled on a predictable rhythm so nothing rots quietly.

What this is

Definition

A structured way to look after your web or mobile product after launch. We cover the boring-but-critical work: patches, library updates, platform migrations when the ecosystem moves, monitoring, and the small fixes and tweaks that accumulate once real users are on the system. Scope, hours, and response expectations are defined up front — no vague retainer.

Problems we help untangle

  • 01
    Dependencies and frameworks drift behind supported versions; upgrades become scary and expensive.
  • 02
    Small issues pile up because nobody owns them, and they only surface when something breaks loudly.
  • 03
    Security patches and platform policy changes (App Store, Play Store, browsers) are handled reactively.
  • 04
    There is no clear path for minor UX fixes or content updates that do not justify a full project.
Approach

How we help

  1. Agree a service scope: what is covered, expected response times, and how requests move from logged to done.

  2. Keep dependencies, security patches, and compliance updates on a schedule, not a panic cycle.

  3. Handle incidents and regressions with proper triage, root-cause notes, and prevention, not just hot fixes.

  4. Run a light improvement backlog so quality, speed, and UX keep moving between bigger projects.
