We keep your WordPress site updated, secure and running properly. When something goes wrong, or you need a change, you already have a developer ready to help.

Not sure which support plan fits?

Tell us about your website and the support you need. We will recommend the right level, not the most expensive one.

Included at every level

Whichever support plan you choose, these parts of the service remain the same.

Direct access to your developer

No account managers or outsourced support. You speak directly to the developer responsible for doing the work.

Safe update process

Updates are handled carefully and checked afterwards. Where staging is included or already available, suitable changes can be tested there first. We never just hit update and hope.

Monthly reporting

A clear summary of the work completed, any issues found and anything you need to know. No jargon and no padding.

No lock-in

Plans are billed monthly in advance and can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. Stay because the support works, not because you are tied in.

Ongoing website support,
without the ongoing worry

Managing a website involves more than dealing with problems when they appear. A support plan gives you an experienced development team that remains involved, handles routine technical work and is available when the website needs attention.

  • Keeping WordPress, plugins and themes safely updated
  • Checking that backups are running and can be restored
  • Investigating unexpected errors or performance problems
  • Searching for a developer whenever something breaks
  • Allowing small technical issues to become expensive problems
  • Putting off useful improvements because nobody owns the work

Your lead developer understands your website, takes responsibility for the ongoing work and brings in wider expertise when needed.

Poodle developer managing WordPress updates, backups, security and support plans

Getting started is straightforward

Once you choose a support plan, we will let you know what access we need, review your website and put everything in place for ongoing support.

Onboarding and review

We collect the access details we need, review your website and identify any immediate issues or priorities.

Monitoring and support go live

We set up the backups, uptime monitoring and security checks included in your plan.

This is usually completed within one or two working days after we receive the required access. Once everything is in place, your ongoing support begins.

Work directly with your developer

Your lead developer becomes your main point of contact, and you can start sending support requests or discussing planned work.
