Ongoing store care
Ongoing maintenance and small improvements after launch: theme updates, app updates, and monthly tweaks, so the store keeps improving instead of sitting static.
In depth
What ongoing store care really involves
A store you launch and forget slowly degrades. Apps update and conflict. A theme feature stops working. A promotion needs a quick banner on a Friday afternoon, and nobody's around to do it. Without someone paying attention, small issues can sit unnoticed, while sales quietly slip.
Ongoing care is simply having someone who knows your store look after it. Checking that checkout works, keeping apps and the theme current, removing code left behind by uninstalled apps, and handling the small requests that come up each month: a new section, a collection tweak, an updated banner.
We agree a monthly allowance, so small changes happen without a fresh quote each time. Bigger projects, like a new feature or a redesign, are quoted separately. You'll know what's covered. And you'll know who to message when something looks wrong, which, on a busy sales day, is worth quite a lot.

Updating apps without checking
An update can break a feature. We test key pages afterwards.
Unused apps left installed
They slow the store and cost money. We review them regularly.
