Hosting & Support

Website Hosting & Maintenance

A website isn't finished at launch. Certificates expire, content goes out of date and small technical issues quietly build up until something breaks at the worst moment.

Our hosting and maintenance service keeps your site online, current and looked after — with someone to email when you need a change made.

What's covered

Everything that keeps a small business site healthy.

Straightforward support, without a list of features nobody uses.

Hosting

Your site hosted on reliable infrastructure with SSL in place, so it loads quickly and shows as secure.

Security

Certificates kept valid, dependencies kept current and issues dealt with rather than left to build up.

Updates

Technical updates applied so the site doesn't slowly drift out of date behind the scenes.

Content changes

Send us the text or images and we'll make the change — no wrestling with an admin panel.

Performance

Periodic checks on load speed and page weight, with fixes where something has slipped.

Ongoing support

A real person who knows your site, rather than a ticket queue and a template reply.

Who it's for

Built for owners, not developers.

If your website is a tool rather than a hobby, handing over the upkeep is usually the cheaper option in the end.

  • Owners with no time to manage a website themselves
  • Businesses whose last site was left to go stale
  • Anyone who wants one contact for domain, hosting and changes
  • Clients who'd rather email a change than log into a dashboard

Being straight

What we won't claim.

We don't publish uptime percentages or promise instant turnaround on every request. What we do commit to is a site that's monitored, kept current and dealt with properly when something needs attention.

You also keep ownership of your website and domain. If you ever want to move elsewhere, we'll help you do it cleanly.

Works with

Support that starts at launch.

Maintenance is available as an add-on to any website design project, and support pricing is set out alongside our packages on the pricing page.

You can also see the full range of studio services if you're weighing up what you need.

FAQs

Hosting and maintenance questions.

Do I have to have my website hosted with you?

No. You own your website and can host it wherever you like. Hosting with us simply means one point of contact when something needs changing or checking.

Can you take over a website you didn't build?

Often, yes. It depends on how the site was built and what access is available. Send us the details and we'll tell you honestly whether we can support it.

What counts as a content update?

Text changes, new images, price updates, adding a service, swapping opening hours — the everyday changes. Larger work like new page templates is quoted separately.

How quickly do changes get made?

Requests are handled in working hours and we'll confirm a realistic turnaround when you send one. Small text changes are usually quick; anything larger we'll scope first.

Do you offer an uptime guarantee?

We don't advertise an uptime percentage we can't personally control. We host on reliable infrastructure, monitor the site and deal with problems when they arise.

Hand the upkeep over.

Tell us about your website and we'll let you know what support would look like.
