Overview
Updates applied and then checked, rather than applied and hoped for. Backups verified rather than merely taken. And the small changes that pile up handled while they are still small, before they turn into a project.

Questions, answered.
3 questionsWhat counts as a small change?
Copy, an image, a new page, a form field. Roughly anything under an hour. Larger things get quoted rather than quietly absorbed.
What if something breaks at 2am?
Monitoring reaches me rather than you, and a verified backup means the worst case is a rollback rather than a rebuild.
Can I stop?
Any month. The site is yours, on your own hosting, with nothing that stops working because I did.
