the manifesto
Why We Refuse to Sell "Care Plans".
Traditional agency care plans are a passive tax: you pay £350 a month for automated plugin updates, and the day you get infected with malware or a form breaks, they invoice you £2,500 for emergency repairs. The Cyber Shield is active: 60-second form testing, enterprise WAF, and a zero-liability guarantee that if anything breaks, we fix it for £0.

Pricing FAQ
The questions buyers actually ask.
How does the Unlimited package work in practice?
You add requests to your private board; we work them one at a time in a linear queue. A senior architect scopes each task, AI agent fleets build it, and the deliverable lands on staging within 24-48 hours on average. There is no cap on how many requests you queue.
What fits into a 24 to 48-hour delivery window?
A complete landing page, a new component or template, a CRO experiment, an integration, or a scoped feature slice of a larger build. Bigger pieces are split into discrete 48-hour atomic deliverables so you see progress on staging every couple of days.
Why is your pricing stack-agnostic across technologies?
Because the expensive part is judgement, not typing. Our senior architects work across Payload, Astro, Next.js, Laravel and legacy stacks, and the agent fleet is trained on all of them. You pay for outcomes shipped to production, not for which framework we touch.
How does the Zero-Cost Hack Recovery Guarantee work?
If a site under Cyber Shield is compromised, we remediate, remove malware and restore from the immutable snapshot vault at no charge: no emergency invoice, no hourly meter. The guarantee is funded by prevention, with 60-second money-path testing, weekly CVE sweeps and an enterprise WAF, so incidents are rare and contained.
Can we pause our subscription if we have a quiet month?
Yes. After the 3-month initial term, Unlimited Growth rolls monthly with 1-click pause any time. Your queue, board and context stay exactly as you left them, and you resume when the backlog fills up again.
Who owns the code, intellectual property, and design assets?
You do, in full, from the moment each invoice is settled. Code lives in your repositories, design assets are handed over in source form, and there is no licence-back, lock-in or hosting hostage clause.
