MAINTAIN
Software Maintenance
Ongoing engineering for production software: fixes, updates, monitoring, deployments and the small work that never fits a project brief.
What this covers
- Bug fixes and incident response
- Dependency and security updates
- Monitoring and backups
- Deployment support
- Minor feature development
- Infrastructure upkeep
Problem
The situation we solve.
Software does not stay healthy on its own. Without ownership, bugs accumulate, dependencies drift, deployments become risky and product progress stalls.
Approach
How we approach it.
01
Establish access and baseline
We get into the repository, environments and critical workflows.
02
Stabilize risk
Backups, monitoring and urgent issues are addressed first.
03
Create a working cadence
Maintenance becomes a predictable engineering rhythm, not ad-hoc firefighting.
04
Improve when ready
Once the system is stable, we can take on features and modernization.

FAQ
Questions about this service.
Is maintenance the same as a retainer?
Maintenance is often delivered through an engineering retainer. Scope and capacity are agreed based on your system and needs. Pricing is provided in a tailored proposal after an initial discussion.
Do you maintain WordPress or Shopify sites?
Yes. We maintain WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify stores alongside custom Next.js and Node.js applications — updates, fixes, deployments and ongoing support.
What does website maintenance usually include?
Typical work includes bug fixes, dependency and security updates, backups, monitoring, deployments and small improvements. Exact scope is agreed for your site or application.
Can you maintain a web app after another team built it?
Yes. Taking ownership of an existing system is a normal part of maintenance and application takeover work.
Have software that needs building?
Maybe it needs improving.
Maybe it simply needs someone to keep it alive.
