Most software problems appear after launch: a dependency changes, a workflow shifts, a small improvement is needed and there's nobody obvious to ask.
What the work involves
Handle the fixes, changes and small improvements that come up in normal operation.
Keep platforms, dependencies and integrations current.
Improve the parts your usage shows are actually being used.
Agree scope, availability and response times for each engagement; support is not unlimited or round-the-clock.
What you end up with
An agreed way to raise and track issues.
Ongoing fixes, updates and improvements.
Continuity from the people who built it.
A good fit if
Something is live and business-critical.
You have no in-house developer to maintain it.
You want continuous improvement rather than a fixed project end.
Pricing
Clear starting points. Custom scopes.
MessyOrg publishes starting points so organizations can understand the approximate level of investment before beginning a conversation. Final scope and investment are determined after we understand the problem, integrations, complexity, security requirements, timeline and desired outcome.
Ongoing care starting at $499/month. Choose dependable maintenance or more room for regular improvements—even if MessyOrg didn’t build your website, application, or systems. We confirm supported systems and coverage before work begins.
MessyCare
$499/month
For businesses that need dependable maintenance and occasional updates to their website or application.
Meetings, investigation, troubleshooting, implementation, and testing count toward included hours.
Included hours reset monthly and do not roll over.
Additional support is $125/hour and requires client approval before work begins.
Larger features, redesigns, and substantial integrations receive a separate project quote.
Initial response means acknowledging and assessing the request, not guaranteed resolution.
Support is available during business hours, Monday–Friday, excluding holidays.
Hosting, software subscriptions, and third-party usage fees are separate.
Coverage, supported systems, and maintenance responsibilities are confirmed in the client agreement.
Initial response means acknowledging and assessing your request, not guaranteed resolution. Care is optional after launch, not unlimited support or a promise to complete every request within the monthly allowance. No 24/7 availability, guaranteed uptime, or comprehensive security monitoring is included.
