Support, care and AI
Many businesses find out their website is down from a customer, hours after it happened. By then orders and enquiries have been lost and nobody knows why it failed. I set up monitoring that checks your site, server, SSL and key pages, tracks errors in your code and keeps an eye on speed, then sends clear alerts to the right person so problems are fixed quickly.

A 500 means your site's code failed, a 502 means a server got a bad answer from the one behind it, and a 504 means it waited too long. Causes, safe first steps and when to call for help.

FAQs
At the simplest level, whether your site is up and responding. A fuller setup also checks key pages, SSL and domain expiry, server resources, code errors and speed, and alerts you when any of these goes wrong.
No, but it means you find out within minutes rather than hours. Over time, the data also shows patterns, such as a full disk or a slow plugin, so the cause can be fixed before it brings the site down.
Yes. Most monitoring tools can send alerts to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams and SMS, and WhatsApp can be added through an integration. I route each type of alert to the person who can act on it.
For a small brochure site, a free uptime check is a good start. Stores, apps and busy sites benefit from error tracking and server monitoring as well, because many problems do not take the whole site down.
I work at USD 10 to 15 an hour, or for a fixed written quote agreed before work starts. After a short call and a look at your current site or brief, you get the scope, the price and the timeline in writing. Any software, hosting or service subscriptions are billed to you directly by the provider, every account stays in your name, and I list them in the quote so there are no surprises. Monitoring can also be included in a monthly care plan.
