Monthly Website Maintenance / Support

 Do you...

  • Struggle to manage your website?
  • Find looking after updates and backups overwhelming?
  • Not have time to deal with the technical aspects?
  • Frustrated with fixing technical issues with your website?
  • Need peace of mind that your website is running smoothly?
  • Looking for someone to provide technical support and answers to your questions?
I offer a monthly support subscription!

I'll look after the technical side of your website - technical support, updates, and maintenance - providing you with peace of mind, so you can focus on your content and business.


I'll take care of...
  • Ensuring your website is backed up regularly.
  • Install updates.
  • Provide you with technical support.
  • Resolving any problems you may have with your website, and answering any questions about your website you may have.
(Just like a caretaker of a building will ensure everything is working, sort out any repairs, although not responsible for any major changes or building work!)

Providing you (and your business) with peace of mind!

Saving you time, hassle, and potentially money. So you can focus on your business.

Why hire me?
  • 15+ years experience working in IT, software and websites (I'm NOT someone who has done an Internet course and become an overnight expert)
  • I've even written a book on WordPress!
  • Development background, so can fix and resolve a lot of technical issues.
  • No long-term contracts and commitments - you can end your subscription anytime.
No tickets, no outsourced call centres, no copy/paste answers - support direct from me!


Ideal for...
  • Self employed.
  • Sole traders.
  • One-person businesses.
  • Small business owners.
Only £55 per month (or £660 per year).
No long-term contracts - cancel anytime!

A subscription can work out more cost effective then paying an hourly rate when you encounter problems with your website, or require additional help.

This price takes into consideration that during some months, there may be a lot of work and issues, while at other times, there may not be much to do.

Website feedback for £35!

Website feedback for £35!

This is something I offer (in addition to fixing website problems and making changes) and is ideal if you have a website and you're not sure what you want to do with it.

I'll check over your website, and provide feedback on...

  • Potential ways forward with your website.
  • Pitfalls and problems, including potential issues.
  • Items missing from your website (e.g. not having terms and conditions).
  • Layout, readability, etc.
  • Ideas for improvements.
  • Anything that may be broken on your website.


A few of my recent clients are surprised how detailed the feedback can be (sometimes 4 or 5 pages!)

Based on 15+ years' experience, I'm NOT someone who has become an overnight expert after doing an Internet course.

And no obligations - the feedback provides clarity on the way forward, which you are happy to implement yourself or with other web developers (i.e. there's no obligation to hire me to carry out the improvements on your website!)

Looking for feedback on your website? Only £35 - e-mail simon@libraryplayer.co.uk and we can arrange this.
