What's included

Everything your platform needs to stay stable and improve.

Support and maintenance isn't just fixing things when they break. It's the ongoing work that keeps your platform performing, secure, and moving forward.

Bug fixes & issue resolution

Fixed properly, not patched. We diagnose root cause, fix in staging, test thoroughly, then deploy safely with a rollback path.

Security & updates

Platform updates, security patches, plugin and extension updates, all tested before deployment so nothing breaks in production.

Performance monitoring

Page speed, Core Web Vitals, server performance. We identify degradation early and fix it before it hits your conversions.

Content & platform changes

Layout tweaks, content updates, product changes, banner updates, the day-to-day work that keeps your platform current.

Integrations & third parties

CRM, ERP, payment gateways, shipping, APIs, when integrations break or need updating, we handle the technical side.

Monthly reporting

Clear monthly summary: hours used, what was done, what's next. You always know where your budget went and what it achieved.

Senior engineers only, no juniors, no generalists.

Every hour is with a specialist who knows your platform. Not someone learning on your time. Seniors diagnose faster, fix properly, and make better decisions, which saves money over the long run.

Your options

Two ways to work with us.

Both give you access to the same senior engineers. The difference is in how that access works, and what comes with it.

Why a retainer makes the difference

The platform you have, supported properly.

Block hours are useful. But when something critical happens at 9am on a Monday and you need someone on it immediately, a block hours client waits behind retainer clients. Always.

A retainer isn't just about hours. It's about having a team that knows your platform, is already briefed on your history, and is contractually committed to responding fast when it matters.

  • A named engineer who knows your platform inside out
  • Your work always ahead of ad-hoc clients in the queue
  • Critical issues never eat into your development hours
  • Proactive, we flag risks before they become problems
  • Monthly report so you always know what you're getting
  • Fixed monthly cost, no surprises, no unexpected invoices

Our basket kept failing and we were losing orders daily. With Resolve Beyond, we finally had a team that treated it like a revenue emergency, diagnosed it fast, fixed it properly, and made sure it didn't come back.

FAQ

Support & maintenance questions, answered.

What's the difference between a retainer and block hours? +

Block hours are pre-purchased and used as needed, good for specific tasks with no ongoing commitment. A monthly retainer gives you reserved hours, priority scheduling, a named senior engineer, and guaranteed SLAs including the <1hr P1 critical response. Retainer clients always go ahead of block hours clients in the queue. Most clients move to a retainer once they've experienced the difference in response time and continuity.

Is the <1hr critical response included on all plans? +

Yes, every monthly retainer client gets the <1hr P1 developer allocation SLA for qualifying critical incidents, during business hours (6am–8pm). Critically, this time is never deducted from your monthly hours. Block hours clients receive the 3hr acknowledgement SLA but do not have the guaranteed 1hr developer allocation.

Do unused hours roll over? +

Retainer hours roll over within your contract year, capped at 2× your monthly allocation. Block hours have their own expiry per pack, Pack 5 is valid for 3 months, Packs 10–25 for 6 months, and Pack 50 for 12 months from purchase date.

What does a monthly retainer actually cover? +

Your monthly hours cover any senior developer time, bug fixes, updates, integrations, improvements, content changes, security patches, and anything else your platform needs. You tell us what to work on. We never go over agreed hours without your explicit approval, and we report clearly on what was done each month.

Can I change my plan size? +

Yes. Most clients start on a smaller plan and increase as the relationship develops. Upgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. Speak to your account lead if your needs change.

We already have an in-house developer or agency, can we still use you? +

Absolutely. Many of our clients have in-house developers or a primary agency. We slot in as the specialist support layer, handling bug fixes, security, complex integrations, and critical response so your team stays focused on roadmap work. We don’t compete with your existing team. We back them up.

How quickly can support start? +

For new clients, our onboarding phase typically completes within a few days, so we understand your platform properly before making any changes. We never work on a live site without onboarding in place. It’s how we protect your revenue and our quality.
