Service

A site is not finished when it launches. Every plan starts with Care — hosting, monitoring, patching and tested backups — and the larger plans add the search, email and conversion work on top.

Hosting, Care & Optimisation

Managed hosting and the behind-the-scenes work that stops a good site quietly decaying.

A site is not finished when it launches. We host it, monitor Core Web Vitals, patch dependencies, keep backups tested, watch uptime and run conversion experiments against real analytics. It is the least glamorous thing we sell and usually the highest returning — and it means you have one number to call when something breaks.

What it covers

  • Managed hosting & SSL
  • Uptime & performance monitoring
  • Security patching & tested backups
  • Core Web Vitals monitoring
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • A/B testing & analytics
  • Ongoing content edits

Questions

Questions we get asked.

What people usually ask about Hosting & Care before they get in touch.

Can I edit it myself, or will you do it?

Edits

Either. Signature and Flagship are built on a headless CMS, so the copy and images are yours to change whenever you want. You never have to, though — every monthly plan includes an hour of edits, so you send us the change and we make it, with that time already covered by the fee rather than billed on top. Essential does not ship with a CMS; on that tier we handle the edits for you.

Do I need a monthly plan?

Retainers

No. The build stands alone, and the plans run on 30 days’ notice. Care is £200 a month for hosting, updates and small edits; Growth is £450 and adds search, email and SMS; Scale is £950. Most clients take one because that is where the compounding happens, but it is never a condition of working together.

Who hosts it, and what happens if it breaks?

Hosting

We do, on every monthly plan — hosting, SSL, backups, updates and monitoring are included rather than billed as extras. If something breaks it is our problem to fix, and you are talking to the two people who built it, not a ticket queue.
