Website support services with a real engineer on call
Website support is the human on the other end when something breaks, when you need a change made, or when you're not sure why something is behaving oddly. Ours pairs a named engineer with a documented SLA. First response measured in hours or minutes, never days. From $99/mo across WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace.

Website support services FAQ
What are website support packages?+
Website support packages are monthly subscriptions that bundle a documented response SLA with a named engineer, so someone is contractually on the hook when something breaks. Ours run $99/mo (12h response) to $799/mo (15 min emergency, 24/7), all month to month with a 30 day money back guarantee.
What is website support?+
Website support is the human layer on top of maintenance: someone you can email or message when something breaks, when you need a small change made, or when you're not sure why something on the site is behaving oddly. Ours pairs a named engineer with a documented SLA so response times are a promise, not a hope.
How fast do you respond to a website support ticket?+
First-response SLA runs from 24h on Care down to 15 min on Enterprise. First response is a human acknowledging the ticket and starting work, not an auto-reply. Resolution time depends on the complexity but most small issues are fixed inside the same business day.
What channels can I use to reach support?+
Email is on every plan. Care + Edits adds WhatsApp. Scale and above add a shared Slack channel and phone. Enterprise clients get a documented escalation runbook with a named backup engineer.
Do you charge extra for emergencies?+
No. If you're on a plan with us, emergency response is included. We don't invoice separately for a Sunday incident. That's the whole point of being on a plan.
What CMS platforms do you support?+
WordPress and WooCommerce (specialism), Webflow, Shopify and Shopify Plus, Wix and Wix Studio, and Squarespace 7.1 and Commerce. For other platforms we can quote a migration.
