Maintenance plan
Stewardship
Post-Build Maintenance & Peace of Mind
Once a site is built and stable, not everyone needs monthly layout changes or strategy calls. Stewardship keeps the engine running quietly in the background — hosting, backups, patching, monitoring — so you never have to think about it. If a tweak or new page ever comes up, send a quick message and we'll quote it at a fixed fee before we touch a thing.
Stewardship is available to clients who have completed The Build or finished an initial retainer agreement. It assumes the site is in good shape and simply needs someone watching over it — not active growth work, and no monthly editing commitment. When something does come up, you send a message, we quote a fixed fee, and nothing changes until you approve it.

No setup fee · month-to-month
Available after completing The Build or an initial retainer agreement with Nalo Designs.
What Stewardship covers
Secure managed hosting & automatic SSL renewals
Your site lives on a hardened, managed environment. SSL certificates renew automatically — no manual steps, no expiry surprises.
Automated daily off-site backups
A full snapshot of your site leaves the server every day and lands somewhere safe. If anything ever goes wrong, recovery is a restore, not a rebuild.
Continuous framework & security patching
Dependencies age fast. We track upstream releases and apply security patches before they become vulnerabilities — without involving you.
99.9% uptime monitoring
Automated checks run around the clock. If your site goes down, we know before you do — and we're already on it.
Ad-hoc edit requests quoted as needed
No monthly hours are included, and that's intentional. When a tweak or new page comes up, send a message and we'll quote it at a fixed fee before touching anything.
Best for
Clients whose sites are stable and finished, who simply want peace of mind knowing their site is safe, online, and looked after.
