Brightwell Legal — from monthly downtime to zero incidents in 14 months

A regional law firm was experiencing 2–3 hours of downtime per month, had plugins unpatched for 18 months, and had zero monitoring. Clients were calling reception to report the site was down. We took over maintenance in January 2024.

"We used to find out the website was down when a client called reception to complain. That hasn't happened once since Ethersofts took over. The monthly reports are clear and they handle everything — I never think about it."

"Before Ethersofts, I had a mental note to check the site manually every few days. Now I don't think about it at all. The monthly reports are exactly what I want — a quick summary of what happened and what's being watched."

Questions we get all the time

If yours is not here, reach out. We respond within 24 hours with a real answer from an engineer — not a sales pitch.

Frequently asked questions

On Growth and Enterprise plans, we have 24/7 monitoring with automated alerts. Our on-call engineer gets notified within 60 seconds of downtime and begins diagnosis immediately. Basic plan clients receive next-business-day response for non-critical issues.

Yes — static sites still need security patches, dependency updates, SSL renewals, and uptime monitoring. A 'set and forget' site is actually the most vulnerable, because problems accumulate silently. Maintenance keeps it secure even when you're not actively developing.

Any update to content, layout, or functionality — text edits, image replacements, adding a new page, adjusting navigation, updating contact info, adding a team member. Larger feature additions are scoped separately.

Yes. Month-to-month with 30-day notice. No annual commitment required. We'd rather earn your continued business by doing good work than lock you into a contract.

Yes — we take on existing sites regardless of who built them. We start with an audit to understand the codebase, hosting setup, and current health, then onboard into our monitoring and maintenance workflow.

Most retainers run between $150 and $600 per month depending on site size, traffic, and how many change requests you need each month. Every plan includes 24/7 uptime monitoring, security patching, backups, and a monthly report — there are no hidden setup fees, and you're billed month-to-month.

We maintain WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, and headless stacks built on Next.js, React, Sanity, and Contentful. Whether your site runs on a traditional CMS or a modern Jamstack architecture, we handle core, plugin, theme, and dependency updates in staging before anything ships to production.
