Our unique
website care plan

Put 23 years of web design experience in your back pocket. 

Website health

Hourly backups
Never worry about pressing the wrong button. We can revert!

Updates and upgrades.
Daily check for critical updates and patches applied asap. Otherwise a monthly update of everything to keep your site error free and safe from security holes.

Hack and virus protection
A daily security scan with an alert if anything is found compromised or vulnerable.

Uptime monitoring
Every single minute your site is pinged to check it is online. If it is down I get alerted and troubleshoot.

Disaster recovery
If your site breaks I will troubleshoot until it is fixed.
If it is a hosting issue I will liaise with the host to push a fix or get a status report.

Speed testing
Daily check of your sites performance to make sure nothing is slowing it down.

Link checking
Daily check of all links in your site with alert and fix if any become broken.

Google ranking report
A monthly report monitoring up to 100 keywords and your position in Google for each one.

Some recent requests from care plan members

OK I have made a few colour changes.
I haven’t changed everything to the new darker blue and red, it may all get a bit dark, so left some of the main links and call-to-action buttons as the lighter blue to stand out a bit.

But happy to change any more bits if you want to go further in the darker blue direction.

Yeh sure, all looks good to me. Set it live and I'll do a test one, make sure the email gets through to you.

Sounds good thanks!

This is where your sitemap lives: XXX. So if you go into search console under sitemaps you can type /page-sitemap.xml and press submit.

It should give a green light if successful. Sometimes it takes a few attempts for some reason.

No worries that’s done. 🙂

Thanks, so quick!

Morning. Yes this is something you can do (or I can do it for you). Here are the steps....

I took a backup of the site just in case anything goes amiss 🙂

Thanks! I found it and seems to be working now.

FAQs

My name is Steve 👋 and I have been a web designer for 23 years.

Starting at an agency, then forming my own company Deft Creative Ltd in 2003 I have worked with hundreds of companies to get the most out of their websites.

I have set up Savvy Sussex to cater for businesses in my home town. 

No. This is month by month and you can cancel at any time.

Just give me some notice before the 1st of the next month (the point at which the next round of work would begin).

Everything in the care plan package list above.

Every company is different. Some of my care plan members do a lot of their own website work, but lean on me for help/opinions/safety net before they push the publish button :).

Others want me to do the work for them. My ethos has always been to slot into your process and add value, rather than demanding you fit in with a rigidly structured package.

Hopefully you can appreciate that for the cost, we can't include large scale changes; redesigning a site, additional sections or complex functionality. This however can be discussed and quoted as an add-on.

Complete the form on this page and I'll get back to you asap with my thoughts. No charge or obligation to go any further.

First of all, welcome 🙂

I'll require a few details from you; logins for your website and a few other things.

We'll have a chat about the current situation with your website, what you are looking to improve etc.

The first of each month I will begin doing monthly maintenance, updates, testing on your site to keep it in good shape.

I'll supply you with a support email and phone number so you can get in touch any time.

I absolutely love my website and I cannot thank Steve enough. A pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
