Magento and Adobe Commerce support and maintenance.
Senior engineers answerable for your store every month, ad hoc or on a retainer.
Support and maintenance for Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce and Mage-OS stores: fixes, small changes, patching, housekeeping and advice from senior engineers. For merchants of every size who want someone answerable for the store. Work with us ad hoc, invoiced at the end of each month, or on a monthly retainer.
A set monthly figure, agreed once we have examined the store.
How you pay
Monthly, with one itemised invoice.
Our rate
£80 an hour plus VAT, the same for every merchant.
Never charged
Account management, or the first look at your store.
Ad hoc or a monthly retainer: your choice.
We are flexible about how you pay. Work with us ad hoc and everything you ask for in a month is itemised on one invoice at the end of it, then the next month starts afresh. Or agree a monthly maintenance retainer, a development retainer or both, sized to the store once we have looked at it. There is no account-management fee either way.
Ad hoc: pay only for what you ask for
Retainer: a set monthly figure and priority
Change from one to the other as the store changes

Questions merchants ask about this.
What does a Magento support retainer include?
Fixes, small changes, security patching, housekeeping and advice from senior engineers, for a set monthly figure agreed once we have looked at the store. A quiet catalogue and a busy multi-store estate need different things, so the retainer is sized to yours and reviewed as the store changes.
Do we have to take a retainer?
No. Many merchants work with us ad hoc: you ask for what you need, and everything requested that month is itemised on one invoice at the end of it. Some months that is a little, others more. A retainer suits stores that change every month and want priority; ad hoc suits stores that mostly need us now and then.
How quickly do you respond?
Support is by email, every day of the year. Each request is triaged on arrival: a problem that stops the store trading is dealt with first, normally the same day, and most other requests get a reply the same morning with a time agreed for the work.
What happens out of hours?
A critical fault out of hours goes to your host's 24-hour team, who can restore service at the server, with us copied in. We pick it up as soon as we see it, which in practice is usually straight away.
Is this the same as the security retainer?
No, though they fit together. The security retainer covers patching within an agreed window, monitoring, a hardened edge and incident response. Support covers everything else the store needs month to month. Many merchants have both; we will say which you need.
How do we see what was done?
Every request is confirmed in writing when it is finished, and the monthly invoice lists each piece of work with its own price. Nothing appears on an invoice that you did not ask for or agree to.
Do we have to be on a supported release?
No. We support stores on unsupported releases, Magento 1 included, and many come to us that way. We are straight about what it means: Adobe no longer ships fixes, so security patches have to be backported, and the upgrade belongs on a dated plan.
Can you take over support from another agency?
Yes, and most of our clients came to us that way. We start with a read-only look at the code, the hosting and the patch level, tell you in writing what we found, and agree the handover with you and, where it helps, with the outgoing agency.
Can we leave?
Yes. The notice period is in the written agreement, the code is in your repository and the hosting is in your name. We would rather keep you by being useful than by making it difficult to go.
See where the store stands before you decide on support.
Give us the address and we will read what the store already shows the world: release, support status, PHP, headers, hosting and any sign of a hijack. One page, by email, within two working days. Nothing is accessed or tested.
