What is this, in plain English?

A monthly subscription, delivered entirely remotely — nothing is posted or installed on site. Each month we apply platform and security updates, run and verify daily backups, monitor uptime, work up to 2 hours of your change requests, and send you a written report of what was done. It renews monthly until you cancel.

A website is not a finished object. Its platform, plugins and certificates all need attention, and neglect shows up as a security incident or an outage on the day you least want one. This plan covers that maintenance on a schedule, with a monthly report of what was done, so you know the work happened rather than hoping it did. It is a recurring plan rather than a one-off job: you are paying for cover across each month, and you can stop it at any renewal.

The problem it solves

Nobody has updated the site since launch, the backup situation is unclear, and you would find out about downtime from a customer.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

Delivery method
Managed Subscription
Expected delivery time
Active within 3 working days of onboarding, then ongoing each month until cancelled
Measured from the point everything under “what we need from you” is with us — not from the moment you pay.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • Administrative access to the site and its hosting, provided at onboarding
  • A named contact for change requests and alerts
  • A site in a maintainable state at onboarding — we assess this first, and any remedial work is quoted separately before the plan starts

Who this is for

  • Businesses with a live site and nobody responsible for it
  • Companies without in-house technical staff
  • Anyone whose site has been running unattended for months
  • Businesses needing small content changes regularly

Business needs this addresses: Build an online presence, Improve IT infrastructure

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • New feature development or redesign, which is quoted as a project
  • Hosting and domain fees, which you pay to your provider directly
  • Unused hours, which do not roll over into the next month
  • Third-party plugin, theme or licence renewal fees
  • Recovery from problems caused by others editing the site directly
  • Out-of-hours, weekend or overnight cover, which this plan does not include

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

What happens if I need more than two hours?

Additional hours are billed at the agreed rate, and we tell you before exceeding the allowance rather than after.

Can I cancel, and what do I keep?

Yes — it is a rolling monthly plan cancellable in writing on 30 days’ notice, with no minimum term. Cancelling stops future billing periods. On cancellation you keep the site itself and we hand over your backups, credentials, configuration and documentation so another provider can take over. Our Refund & Cancellation Policy sets out how a part-used period is treated.

Does this cover a hacked site?

Prevention and backups are covered. A full compromise cleanup is a separate piece of work, though a maintained site with tested backups makes it far less likely and much faster to resolve.

Refund & cancellation

How this plan is cancelled, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Cancelling this plan
It continues, period after period, until you cancel in writing. A monthly plan needs 30 days' notice. The service runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy — see subscriptions. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.
