Services

Everything required to keep existing software healthy.

Eight service areas, each applied to systems that are already live. Most engagements start with one problem and grow into ongoing care once we know the system.

No rebuild required
We work with your existing stack
Scoped against your real system

Website Maintenance

Keep the site working, current and online.

Ongoing care for a website that is already live. We fix what breaks, apply the updates that pile up, keep content and configuration current, and watch the site so problems surface before your customers find them.

Web Application Maintenance

Keep a live product stable while it keeps changing.

Continuous maintenance for web applications, SaaS products, APIs, backends and databases that are already in production. We handle the defects, upgrades, integrations and slow accumulation of technical debt that a product picks up once real users depend on it.

Discuss your application

Problems it solves

Bug reports arrive faster than the team can work through them
A framework or runtime is approaching end of life
A third-party integration changed and something quietly broke
The database has grown and queries that were fine are now slow

Who needs it

SaaS companies with a live product and a small engineering team
Startups that need the current product kept healthy while they build the next thing
Companies whose internal developers are fully committed to new features

Mobile App Maintenance

Keep shipping to the stores without drama.

Support for Android, iOS and cross-platform apps that are already published. Mobile has a maintenance cadence of its own: OS releases, SDK deprecations and store policy changes arrive whether or not you have capacity for them. We keep the app compliant, stable and releasable.

Full detail on mobile app maintenance

Problems it solves

Crash rates climb after an OS update, and reviews follow
A store rejects a release over a policy or SDK requirement
The app still targets an SDK version the store no longer accepts
The app feels slow or drains battery on older devices
Nobody remembers how to produce a signed release build

Typical tasks

Crash triage and fixes driven by real crash reports
Performance, startup time and battery optimization
OS compatibility updates for new Android and iOS releases
SDK, library and toolchain updates
App-store compliance and policy updates
API and backend integration fixes
Targeted UI and usability improvements
Release management, signing and store submission

Who needs it

Companies with a published app and no full-time mobile developer
Teams whose original mobile contractor has moved on
Businesses whose app is a channel rather than the product, but still has to work

Application Optimization

Faster, more reliable, cheaper to run.

Measurement-led work to make an existing application faster, more scalable and less expensive to operate. We start by finding out where the time and the money actually go, because the bottleneck is rarely where people assume it is.

Request a performance audit

Full detail on application optimization

Problems it solves

Pages take seconds to load and conversion suffers for it
The application slows down under ordinary peak traffic
The cloud bill grows faster than usage does
A handful of database queries dominate every response
Optimization has been attempted before, without measurement, and did not help

Typical tasks

Performance audits with a written, prioritized findings list
Database and query optimization, indexing, N+1 elimination
API response-time and payload optimization
Frontend optimization: bundle size, render path, Core Web Vitals
Backend and application-code optimization
Caching strategy at the browser, CDN, application and data layers
Image and static asset optimization
Infrastructure right-sizing and cost reduction
Load-time reduction verified against before-and-after measurements

Who needs it

Products where speed affects revenue, retention or search ranking
Teams facing a scaling event and unsure what will break first
Companies whose infrastructure spend has outgrown its usefulness

Security & Reliability

Practical hardening, and a plan for when things go wrong.

Routine, practical security and reliability work on systems that are already running. No system can be made perfectly secure, and we will not tell you otherwise. What we can do is reduce known risk, keep dependencies current, make sure backups actually restore, and make failures visible early.

Request a security review

Full detail on security & reliability

Problems it solves

Dependencies carry published vulnerabilities that nobody has reviewed
Certificates and TLS configuration are handled ad hoc
Former staff and contractors still hold live access
Backups exist in principle but have never been restored
The first sign of an outage is a customer email

Typical tasks

Security review of the application, its configuration and its hosting
Dependency vulnerability scanning and remediation
SSL/TLS configuration and certificate lifecycle
Authentication and session handling review
Access control and least-privilege review
Backup strategy, retention and tested restores
Uptime, error and performance monitoring
Error tracking and alert routing that reaches a human
Disaster recovery planning with documented recovery steps

Who needs it

Businesses handling customer data or payments
Companies answering security questionnaires from their own customers
Any team that has never verified that a backup restores

Cloud & Infrastructure

Look after the servers so your team does not have to.

Operational ownership of the infrastructure your product already runs on. We work with your existing hosting rather than moving you somewhere new, unless a move is genuinely the cheaper or safer option, in which case we will say so and explain why.

Talk about your infrastructure

Full detail on cloud & infrastructure

Problems it solves

Deployments are manual, undocumented, and only one person can do them
Nobody is patching the server that everything depends on
Cloud spend keeps rising and the line items are not understood
Traffic spikes cause outages that could have been absorbed
Infrastructure was set up once, years ago, and never revisited

Typical tasks

Deployment and release pipeline management
Server maintenance, patching and configuration
Infrastructure review and optimization
Monitoring, logging and alerting setup
Scaling strategy, capacity planning and load handling
Backup and recovery infrastructure
Cloud cost review and reduction

Who needs it

Teams with no dedicated DevOps or platform engineer
Companies whose infrastructure knowledge lives with one person
Businesses whose hosting bill no longer matches what they use

Legacy Software Modernization

Modernize what works. Rebuild only what must be rebuilt.

Incremental modernization of older systems. A full rewrite is expensive, slow and risky, and it throws away years of accumulated business logic. Most systems can be brought forward in stages while they stay in production. We start by assessing what you have and telling you honestly which parts are worth keeping.

Request a legacy assessment

Full detail on legacy software modernization

Problems it solves

The system works, but every change is slow and nerve-racking
It runs on a framework or language version that is no longer supported
Hiring anyone who wants to work on it is getting harder
A rebuild has been quoted, and the number is hard to justify
Nobody currently at the company fully understands how it works

Typical tasks

Legacy code assessment with written findings
Framework and language version upgrades
Dependency modernization and replacement of abandoned libraries
Database modernization and schema improvement
API modernization and interface cleanup
Gradual, staged migration with the system staying live
Technical debt reduction in priority order
Architecture improvements that lower future cost

Who needs it

Businesses running software that is a decade or more old
Companies that have been quoted for a rebuild and want the alternative assessed
Teams inheriting a system with no documentation

Technical Support

A technical team on call, without the headcount.

Ongoing technical support for companies that do not want to maintain an internal team for every issue. A named point of contact, a clear way to raise a request, and someone who already understands your system when something goes wrong.

Talk to us about support

Problems it solves

Small technical issues have nowhere to go
Every question turns into finding and briefing a new freelancer
Non-technical staff are blocked by problems nobody owns
Knowledge about the system is scattered or undocumented

Typical tasks

A single, documented channel for technical requests
Triage and prioritization of incoming issues
Investigation and diagnosis of reported problems
Coordination with your hosting, vendors and third parties
Plain-language explanations of what happened and why
Documentation of the system as we learn it

Who needs it

Businesses with no internal technical staff
Teams whose developers should not be answering support tickets
Companies that want continuity instead of a new contractor each time

How it works

Four steps, starting from what you already have.

No discovery phase that bills for months. We look at the system, tell you what we found, and get to work on what matters most.

01
Tell us what you have
Share your website, application, technology stack and the problems you are dealing with. No prepared brief needed — a description of what hurts is enough to start.
02
We understand it
We review the system and come back with what we found: the issues, the risks, the quick wins and the work that can wait. In plain language, in writing.
03
We fix and improve
We agree on priorities, then implement the fixes, upgrades and optimizations. You see what changed and why it mattered.
04
We keep it running
For ongoing customers we monitor, maintain, update and keep improving the system, so the next problem is one we spot rather than one you report.

Ways to work with us

Three service models. All of them adjustable.

We do not publish package pricing, because a fixed price for an unseen system is a guess. We scope against your actual application and tell you what the work involves before it starts.

FAQ

Before you get in touch

The questions that come up most often when someone is deciding whether we are the right fit.

Ask us something else

Can you maintain an application built by another developer?

Yes. Most of the systems we work on were built by someone else. We start by understanding the existing code, stack and hosting, then tell you what we found before recommending any maintenance or improvement work.

Do you need the source code?

For most work, yes. What we need varies by task, though: a hosting or CMS issue may need nothing more than admin access, while a code-level fix needs the repository. We tell you exactly what access is required before we start, and we ask for the minimum that lets us do the job.

Can you fix an application you did not build?

Yes. That is the core of the service. We are set up to read unfamiliar systems, work out how they behave, and make careful changes without a full rewrite.

Can you improve application speed?

Usually, yes — but we start with a performance assessment rather than assumptions. We measure where time is actually spent, identify the real bottlenecks, then optimize those. Guessing at performance work tends to waste money without moving the numbers.

Do you provide monthly maintenance?

Yes. Our ongoing maintenance model covers regular updates, monitoring, bug fixing, security review and performance work on a continuing basis. Scope is agreed against your actual system rather than a fixed package.

Can you work with our existing developers?

Yes, and it is a common arrangement. We follow your conventions, your review process and your release cadence, and we take the maintenance work so your team can stay on new development.

Not sure which of these you need?

Describe the system and what is going wrong. We will tell you which service applies, or tell you honestly that you do not need us.
