Support TimeBank (2hr)
Are you looking for help with your website or online presence?
Do you need website support now? Do you want to make some bigger changes to your site? Or maybe you have some ideas you want help turning into a feasible plan and don’t know where to turn?
Maybe business is going well, and you need to make more improvements than the included time in your Care Plan can deliver.
Whatever the reason, we have you covered.
30% of small business owners consider keeping up with technological advances a major challenge.
Flexible support for whatever you need
Your technical support team is on hand to support your business website.
Requests are estimated and, on approval, delivered for review on a staging copy of your website. Your TimeBank is adjusted after each request and can be topped up at any time. Unlike other agencies that charge by the hour, we track time in 15-minute increments. Unused time remains in your TimeBank and can be used at any time.
How it Works
For full details on how our ServiceDesk and support service works, see our Getting Help page
After reviewing your requirements and obtaining any additional information, we will propose a solution with a time estimate for your approval.
If you wish to proceed, and assuming you have sufficient TimeBank credit to cover our estimate, we will schedule your request.
You’ll be kept updated via the ServiceDesk, and when all work has been completed, you’ll be notified that it is available for review.
How much do I need?
Typical task estimates:
- Article posting and image optimisation = 15m
- Hack recovery = 2 -4h
- New page = 2-4h, depending on the complexity
- Plugin review and recommendation = 1-2h
- Speed review and page optimisation = 30 – 60m/page

Frequently Asked Questions
Design
Q: How long does it take to build a website?
A: We can build a website in as little as a week.
Q: Will my site look like my competitors?
A: No, unlike some of our competitors, we don’t limit your choices to a few generic templates. We will customise every template to perfectly fit your brand.
Q: Can I change the images?
A: Of course, you can supply your own images and/or find stock images you can use that will fit the design
Q: Can I change the layout?
A: Absolutely. You have full control over how you’ll site will look to make it perfectly fit your personality & brand.
Q: I don’t have a brand (or I don’t want to use it). Is this a problem?
A: It depends. We can build using what you have already but you might want our designers to create something fresh and new, from a simple logo redraw up to a full rebrand.Ordering & Payments
Q: Can I order and pay online each month?
A: Yes. All plan payments are online via Direct Debit
Q: Can I pay in full instead of Direct Debit?
A: Sure. Drop us a message and we’ll send you an invoice
Q: Who actually owns the website?
A: During the first year, we retain ownership of the site (not your content) until the balance is paid off. At this point, website ownership transfers to you. If paying in full, the site is owned by you from the start
Q: What happens after the first year?
A: If you’d like us to continue managing, hosting and supporting your website then you’ll move to a Care Plan. If , instead, you are leaving us at that stage (we’ve not had one yet) we’ll package and supply your site for you to transfer to your new provider.
Q: Are there any additional costs?
A: No. Our Website Plan prices are all published and fixed. Should your requirements change during the build there may be additional work needed and this will be discussed with you at the time if it requires an adjustment to your monthly fee.Maintenance
Q: Do I need to do any updates?

Q: Are all plugins included?
A: Yes, free plugins are included in all plans. Premium (paid) plugins are included with Site Management Plans & bespoke websites.

Q: What about development? Is this classed as Maintenance?

A: You are free to make changes yourself to content to layouts using the Elementor builder, but with up to 60 minutes of support time available each month most of our clients ask us to do it.

A: Simply visit our ServiceDesk and log a request for our technical team to sort for you.
