What ongoing support do you provide after the project is completed?

Website projects: In the dynamic digital landscape, keeping your website and digital assets updated and well-maintained is not just beneficial—it’s imperative. Regular updates ensure that your website benefits from the latest features, performance enhancements, and security patches and associated plugins release.

An outdated site becomes susceptible to security threats, including hacks and malware, which can compromise user information and tarnish your brand’s reputation. Beyond security, a well-maintained site offers a seamless user experience. Broken links, outdated content, or sluggish performance can deter visitors and impact your site’s search engine ranking. In essence, regular maintenance and updates not only bolster your website’s security but also enhance its functionality, ensuring optimal performance and user engagement.

We offer packaged deals available for multiple website maintenance services. All prices are starting rates and can vary based on specific needs.

Please reach out for a custom quote.

Digital projects: We provide regular reporting customised to your requirements, covering SEO, social media, and various digital metrics, such as website analytics, user engagement, and conversion rates.

Feel free to reach out to us for a personalised quote for these services.
