Why it matters

A website left alone quietly falls behind

Plugins go out of date, security holes open up and small mistakes sit unfixed for months. Here is the difference a plan makes.

  Left alone On a care plan
Updates Pile up until something breaks Applied and checked every month
Backups Whatever the host happens to keep Daily, restorable copies
Downtime Found by a customer Caught by monitoring
Edits Wait in your inbox Handled from your included hours
Results Nobody is looking Monthly performance and analytics report

Who looks after it

Maintained by a cybersecurity professional

HDS founder Brendan Makidon is a U.S. Air Force veteran with a cybersecurity background. Updates and site access are handled with the same discipline as the build.

You deal with one person who knows how your site was put together, not a ticket queue.

How changes work

Ask for it, and it gets done

  1. 1 Send the change New prices, a seasonal special, a photo swap or a new page. Email it the way you would to an employee.
  2. 2 It comes out of your hours Two hours of development work are included every month.
  3. 3 Bigger work keeps moving Anything beyond the included time is billed at an hourly rate, so it never waits for next month.
