Service 10 / 11

Ongoing monitoring, security patching and iteration that keep your website fast, safe and continually improving after launch.

VercelSentryAnalytics

Overview

What you get.

  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Monthly iterations
  • Security patches

Websites decay: dependencies go stale, certificates expire, plugins get exploited and speed slowly regresses. A maintenance plan makes sure that's caught before your customers notice.

You get a named team that already knows your codebase, a predictable monthly cost and a monthly report of what changed and what's next.

The cheapest outage is the one that never happens. Automated checks, dependency scanning and scheduled review catch the slow-moving problems — expiring domains and certificates, failing forms, broken integrations — before they cost you leads.

Maintenance also keeps your site competitive. Small monthly improvements to speed, content structure and conversion paths compound into significant gains over a year.

Why it matters

The problem we solve.

01

Unpatched software gets exploited

Most compromises target known vulnerabilities in outdated plugins and packages.

02

Performance quietly regresses

New content, scripts and tools slow sites down over time without anyone noticing.

03

Downtime costs trust

Visitors and search engines both penalise unreliable sites.

04

Knowledge shouldn't live in one head

A documented, supported site survives staff changes.
