Already have a live app or website and need reliable ongoing support? I take over maintenance for existing Laravel, React and React Native projects, whether or not I built the original.

Ongoing Software Maintenance & Support

If you already have a live app or website and the person who built it has gone quiet, moved on, or was never around for ongoing support in the first place, this is for that. I take over maintenance for existing Laravel, React and React Native projects, whether or not I built the original.

Software Maintenance

What's Included

  • Bug fixes and security patches
  • Framework and dependency updates
  • Hosting, uptime and performance monitoring
  • Small feature additions and improvements
  • An honest audit before anything's agreed, so you know what state the codebase is actually in

Who This Is For

  • Businesses whose developer has gone quiet. A freelancer who's stopped responding, or an agency that's wound down, leaving a live app with nobody looking after it.
  • Teams that shipped a project and need it looked after. Not every build needs a permanent in-house hire, but every live product needs someone watching it.
  • Anyone inheriting a codebase. New to a role or a project, and need to know honestly what you're actually working with before committing to anything further.

How It Starts

Get in touch with what you've got, whatever detail you have on the current setup. I'll audit it, tell you honestly what state it's in, and recommend a maintenance arrangement that actually fits, rather than a one-size-fits-all retainer.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take over support for an app or site someone else built?

Yes, this is most of what this page is for. I'll audit what's there honestly first: how it's built, what state the dependencies are in, and whether anything needs attention before I take it on, rather than agreeing to support something sight unseen.

What does a maintenance agreement actually cover?

Bug fixes, framework and dependency updates, security patches, hosting and performance monitoring, and small feature additions as they come up. Anything larger than a small feature gets scoped and quoted separately, so maintenance doesn't quietly turn into unpaid project work.

Do you charge a monthly retainer, or by the hour as issues come up?

Both are options, and which one fits depends on how active the project is. A retainer suits something that needs regular attention; ad hoc support suits something stable that occasionally needs a fix. I'll recommend whichever actually matches how much ongoing work the project needs.

What if my previous developer is unreachable and I need something fixed urgently?

Get in touch and I'll take a look. I can't promise a same-day fix on every codebase sight unseen, but I'll give you an honest read on what's wrong and how quickly it's realistic to resolve, rather than leaving you waiting on someone who's gone quiet.

Is this only for projects built in Laravel or React Native?

Those are my primary stack, so they're where I move fastest, but I'll audit most PHP, React or React Native codebases regardless of who built them originally, and tell you honestly if something's outside what I can properly support.

Let's chat about your next project

Whether you need a single contractor or a full team, I run every project through Storm Digital, the studio I co-founded. Having delivered large-scale projects for businesses of every size, I bring that same commitment to clients locally in Surrey, London, and worldwide.
