Joomla and WordPress, looked after properly
Development and maintenance from the team that builds the tools.
We have shipped Joomla products since 2012 — the page builder, the templates, the extensions. That is the same stack we maintain for agencies who would rather spend the week on client work than on an update queue.

Build it, or keep it running. Or both.
Most agencies arrive for one and stay for the other. They are priced separately, so you are never carrying a retainer just to get a project done.
Build
Development
New builds, migrations, template and theme work, custom extensions and plugins. Scoped as a project with a fixed deliverable.
- Joomla and WordPress builds
- Version migrations
- Custom extensions and plugins
- Template and theme development
Maintain
Care
Ongoing upkeep on a monthly retainer, so updates, security and performance stop being something you find time for.
- Core, extension and plugin updates
- Security monitoring
- Backups and restore drills
- Performance and uptime
What a retainer covers
Written so you can hold us to it. If something here is not happening on your sites, that is a problem to raise — not a nice-to-have we implied.
Updates, tested first
Core, extensions, plugins and themes updated on a staging copy before anything touches production.
Security monitoring
Malware scanning, hardening against the known Joomla and WordPress attack surface, and patching when a CVE lands.
Backups you have restored
Off-site backups on a schedule, plus periodic restore drills — an untested backup is a guess, not a safety net.
Performance work
Caching, image handling, database cleanup and Core Web Vitals kept inside a budget rather than fixed once at launch.
Uptime monitoring
Continuous checks with alerting, so a site being down is something we tell you, not something a client tells you.
Fixes and small changes
Bugs, broken layouts and the content changes too fiddly to hand to a client, handled inside the retainer.
Three levels of cover
What it costs depends on what the audit finds — how many sites, what state they are in, how much development you want included. So we quote, rather than publish a number that would be wrong for most people.

How it starts
01
Audit
We go through the site — versions, extensions, security posture, performance, what is likely to break. You get the findings whether or not you go ahead.
02
Quote
Scope and price come from the audit, not a bracket you were slotted into. One site or fifty, project or retainer.
03
Onboard
Backups, staging and monitoring get set up, and we work through the audit backlog before ongoing care starts.
04
Maintain
Updates, monitoring and fixes run on a schedule, with reporting you can forward to a client unedited.
Start with the audit
It is free, it takes a few days, and you keep the findings either way. If the sites are in good shape, we will tell you that too.
