Care & evolution · monthly retainer

Software that's looked after, and quietly keeps getting better.

For products that are already live, whether we built them or someone else did. A monthly retainer that keeps everything running, fixes what breaks, and ships a steady stream of improvements, without you standing up a whole team to do it.

Who it's for

When something's live, and can't be left to drift.

Launch is the start, not the finish. This model keeps working software healthy and improving once it's in production.

  • You have live software that needs to stay reliable
  • You inherited a codebase and need someone to own it
  • You want steady improvements, not a big-bang rebuild
  • You don't need a full team, just dependable hands
What’s included

Keeping it alive, and moving it forward.

Monitoring & uptime

We watch the things that matter and catch problems before your users do.

Fixes & maintenance

Bugs, edge cases and the small breakages of real-world use, handled promptly.

Rolling roadmap

A steady stream of improvements and new features, prioritized with you each cycle.

Security & updates

Dependency upgrades, patches and the unglamorous work that keeps software safe.

Priority support

A direct line to people who know your system, not a ticket queue and a stranger.

Monthly reporting

A clear summary of what we did, what it changed and what we recommend next.

How it works

From hand-off to a healthy, improving system.

Steady progress

It doesn't just stay alive, it keeps getting a little better every month.

Right-sized cost

A predictable monthly retainer scaled to the system, no full team required.

Common questions

Good to know

Usually, yes. We start with an audit to understand the codebase and infrastructure, flag any risks, and then take over care once we're both comfortable.
A predictable monthly fee scaled to the size and complexity of the system and how much active improvement you want. You can adjust it as needs change.
A retainer keeps an existing system healthy and steadily improving. The embedded team gives you dedicated people to build new things at pace. Many clients move from one to the other.
Yes. Retainers run monthly with notice. Because you own the code and infrastructure, you're never locked in.
