For founders with a live product

Software maintenance
for your live product.

One developer who knows your code handles the fixes, the small updates, and the security and dependency updates, so your product keeps working after launch.

Sound familiar?

Founders usually come to me with one of these.

A live product needs someone looking after it. If nobody is, these are the signs.

“The developer moved on.”They finished the build and left, and nobody else knows how it works.
“Small changes wait weeks.”A text change or a minor fix sits in a queue for longer than the change itself takes.
“Something broke after a change.”A change went out, a page stopped working, and nobody knows why.
“Security warnings keep piling up.”Dependency alerts arrive every week and nobody has time to act on them.
“Every change feels risky.”Nobody is sure what a small change might break, so changes stop.
“Nothing has been updated since launch.”The libraries and dependencies are the same as the day the product went live.
How it works

Four steps from live to looked after

STEP 1 · FREE CALL

Tell me about the product

A free 30-minute call, no sales pitch, about what is live and what keeps going wrong.

STEP 2 · THEN

I look at the code, hosting and access

For code I did not build, the retainer is priced on what is actually there.

STEP 3 · THEN

Choose hourly or a retainer

Hourly at $40 per hour for hours used, or a fixed monthly price set for your product.

STEP 4 · ONGOING

Fixes and updates

Fixes, small changes and updates as they come up. Anything bigger gets its own fixed quote.

Support & Maintenance FAQ

Questions before we start

Yes. I look at the code, hosting and access first, so the retainer is priced for what is there. A stalled or broken build may need a Build Rescue first.

Hourly suits occasional changes. A retainer suits steady work every month. Which fits depends on the project.

Anything bigger than a fix or a small change. A new feature gets its own fixed quote, like any build.

Yes. You own all code and IP on final payment, and access stays in your accounts.

No. The hours are spent on your product, by me. I don’t place developers in other teams.
