Ongoing Web Development Support & RetainerOngoing Web Development Support
The same engineers who built it, maintaining and extending it.
Monthly retainer for teams that want ongoing access to the same development team — for updates, new features, performance work, and technical support on their web platform.
(01) The short answer
What is ongoing web development support?
Ongoing web development support is a structured monthly retainer that gives your team access to the same developers who built your site or application — for updates, new pages, feature additions, performance improvements, and technical troubleshooting. Cortexley's retainers are scoped to a defined monthly hour block, with clear scope and priority access without project-rate overhead.

Before you ask.
A defined block of development hours per month — typically 10, 20, or 40 hours — used for whatever the site or application needs: new pages, feature work, performance improvements, or bug fixes. Unused hours roll over to the following month up to a defined cap. Production issues are prioritised within the same business day.
Our retainers run on a 3-month minimum, renewable monthly after that. This gives the team enough context on your codebase to work efficiently, and gives you enough runway to evaluate whether the engagement is delivering value.
Additional hours above the monthly block are available at the retainer rate, not the ad-hoc project rate, provided we have capacity. We flag this at the start of the month rather than at the end.
Not necessarily. For very infrequent, low-complexity updates, a per-task arrangement works fine. A retainer makes sense when you have a regular flow of work — at least a few hours per month — and want consistent priority access and a team that understands your codebase without re-onboarding each time.
