SideQuest Philippines
Keep websites and apps healthy long after the launch party
Plugins age, dependencies change, and small bugs stack up. Software maintenance gives you a named cadence for updates, backups, and fixes—so you are not firefighting every time something breaks on a busy Monday.

FAQ
Questions about Maintenance & Support
Do you only maintain projects SideQuest built?
We prefer systems we know well, but we can assess existing sites or apps. A baseline review tells us whether ongoing support is a good fit.
What counts as maintenance versus a new project?
Maintenance covers updates, monitoring, troubleshooting, and small agreed improvements. Larger features, redesigns, or new products are scoped separately.
How fast do you respond to issues?
Response expectations are set when we start support—so urgent outages and routine requests are not treated the same way.
Can maintenance include performance work?
Yes, within agreed scope. We prioritize uptime, security, and user-facing speed before cosmetic changes.
Want someone watching the stack after launch?
Tell us what you run today and what worries you most—updates, backups, or recurring bugs. We will outline a sensible support plan.
