Understanding Support vs. New Projects

What counts as support?

Bug fixes, security updates, performance optimization, content support, and feature enhancements that work within your existing site structure.

 

When does something become a separate project?

Major feature additions, complete redesigns, or extensive custom development that requires significant discovery and planning.
The line isn't always clear upfront, and that's okay. When you bring us a request, we'll always be honest about whether it fits within your support hours or needs to be scoped as a separate project. Our goal is to maximize the value you get from your support investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with agencies?

Absolutely. We partner with agencies to handle the technical Drupal work while you focus on design, strategy, and client relationships. We can work under your brand or directly with your clients.

What if I need more hours than my package includes?

No problem. Additional hours are available at our standard rate, and we'll always get approval before exceeding your monthly allocation.

Can I change packages?

Yes, we can adjust your support level at renewal time, or you can add extra hours during your contract period as needed.

How quickly do you respond to issues?

We respond to all support requests within 24 hours during business hours. Critical issues (site down, security problems) get immediate attention.

Do you handle hosting?

We work with your existing hosting setup and can coordinate with your hosting provider, but we don't manage hosting directly. We're happy to recommend trusted hosting partners if needed.

What happens to unused hours?

Unused hours roll over throughout your contract period. At renewal, we'll work with you to adjust your package based on your actual usage patterns.

What is not included in support?

Major feature additions, complete redesigns, or extensive custom development that requires significant discovery and planning. The line isn't always clear upfront, and that's okay. When you bring us a request, we'll always be honest about whether it fits within your support hours or needs to be scoped as a separate project.
