Software maintenance services — we don't disappear after launch.

Custom software needs an operator. Hosting, backups, monitoring, security updates, bug fixes, and a path for small improvements are how the product stays a business system rather than a static handover. Maintenance is optional, and it is the natural second phase of the work.

When generic software stops fitting.

Launch is treated as the finish line

Libraries age. Browsers change. The first real customer finds the edge case nobody tested.

Nobody owns uptime

Hosting was 'included' until the certificate expired or the backup was never restored.

Every change is a new proposal

Without a monthly rhythm, small improvements wait months and then arrive as expensive mini-projects.

Security is postponed

Updates pile up because they are nobody's job. That is not an acceptable state for software that holds customer data.

Approach

How we approach the work.

01

Care, Growth, or Partner

Three plans: keep it stable; keep it stable and improve it a little each month; or treat it as an ongoing product with a technical review.

02

Hours that are honest

Growth includes 2 development hours a month. Partner includes 5. Work beyond that is billed separately so the plan does not pretend to be unlimited.

03

Still a partnership, not a lock-in stunt

You can run hosting yourselves if that is the agreement. The offer exists because most teams do not want to staff this work internally on day two.

Ongoing partnership

Optional maintenance after launch.

Launch is the start of a working system, not the end of the relationship. Maintenance covers the operational work that keeps custom software safe and useful. Additional development beyond the plan is billed separately.

Questions

Do we have to subscribe?
No. Maintenance is optional. If you have internal engineering, you can take operational ownership after handover, according to the agreement.
What do the plans cost?
Care is $149/month, Growth is $299/month, and Partner is $599/month. Additional development outside the included hours is billed separately.
Can you maintain software you did not build?
Sometimes, after a review. Unfamiliar codebases need an assessment before we can offer a responsible plan.
