Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Our deep experience of Drupal means that we can listen to a client's needs and quickly make technical recommendations on how to address them. We have worked on hundreds of Drupal sites over the 11 years we have been in business, and it is unusual if we find a business requirement we haven't had to address before.

Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Clients will provide us with a copy of the codebase, database and uploaded files folder for their existing Drupal site. If possible it is helpful if clients can provide us with either the config files of their web server, or access to the server itself. We will then restore your site onto our newly provisioned servers ready for acceptance testing. The site can be switched live via co-ordinated DNS changes.

How the support service works
We offer support for the Drupal CMS websites we host based on a flat fee that covers a pre-agreed amount of support time for each month. At a minimum we require a commitment of 1 day per month to take on the support and maintenance of client websites.

This support work can include any tasks you feel we are suited to handling and is likely to cover:

• Incident and problem resolution including bug fixing.
• Small functionality additions or enhancements for the site.
• Server and systems administration.

The day rate for this support time is £805 per day ex VAT based on a 7 hour working day.

Unused support time can be rolled over to subsequent months, up to a limit of 5 working days, although at the end of the contract any remaining support time will not be reimbursed. Additional support time can be purchased in blocks of 5 days as required.

Service scope

Service constraints
For security and stability purposes, we do not allow access to the servers which run client sites (i.e. SSH, SFTP, SCP etc).
