Website maintenance and support
Ongoing support or a one-off fix for your website or Laravel application: bugs fixed, updates kept current, and new features added by someone who understands the code.
Monthly support or one-off fixes
Some clients want someone on hand every month; others need one specific problem solved. I do both. A monthly arrangement covers updates, monitoring and small changes as they come up. One-off work is scoped and quoted on its own, whether that is a single bug or a new feature.
Fixing what is broken
If your site has stopped working, throws errors or behaves strangely, I find the cause rather than patching the symptom. Urgent problems that are costing you customers come first.
Taking over existing code
Many projects arrive half-finished, or after the original developer has moved on. On WCsite I joined an existing clinic management system, started with fixes, and went on to build whole modules, including recurring weekly, bi-weekly and monthly scheduling. The client gets in touch when something needs doing, and that support has continued for more than a year.
Upgrades and PHP-to-Laravel migration
Running an old Laravel version means missing security fixes and fighting outdated packages. I upgrade Laravel applications to current versions, handling breaking changes and dependencies along the way, and move legacy plain-PHP code into Laravel step by step, so the site keeps running throughout.
Common questions
How much does website maintenance cost per month?
It depends on the size of the site and how much you expect to change each month. A small site that rarely changes needs far less than an application your business runs on every day. Tell me what you have and I will suggest a monthly plan or quote the job.
Can you fix a site another developer built?
Yes. Most of my support work starts with code someone else wrote. I read the existing codebase first, fix what is urgent, and then improve it gradually rather than rewriting everything.
Can you upgrade my Laravel version?
Yes. I upgrade older Laravel applications to current, supported versions, and move legacy PHP projects into Laravel, keeping the site live throughout.
