Fixing incidents quickly reduces the impact such issues have on the system’s performance and our client’s business. However, when providing custom support and maintenance services, our main priority is taking proactive measures first around administering and monitoring the system, as this helps prevents incidents from happening in the first place

Website Maintenance & Support Services
When an issue with your website is identified, you can count on Spiral Scout to respond and fix it quickly. As a website maintenance and support company, Spiral Scout’s vast expertise in helping businesses manage legacy and older websites means you get website support that goes beyond simply patching up bad code.
You get comprehensive website maintenance service coverage that improves your website's user experience and addresses a range of issues, including visual presentation problems (layout and markup), interactivity bugs (JavaScript), logical and computational problems (JavaScript and backend code), data errors or connectivity issues (database administration), and issues arising from the differences between web browsers (cross-browser compatibility and new versions compatibility).
Any incident that impacts your web application's underlying infrastructure requires a swift and tactical response to mitigate risk and get your site back online and operating normally again. If and when something goes wrong on your website (i.e. a server outage, file storage failure, or DNS error), you can rely on a responsive and experienced partner like Spiral Scout to answer your call right away, start assembling a strategy to fix the problem and keep communication lines open.
Our highly qualified and skilled experts will create a unique and extensive web maintenance plan that ensures your business gets a fast, secure, and seamless online experience. Spiral Scout's team of website support specialists’ incident response and web support practices may include but are not limited to, system administration, database administration, 3rd-party service administration, data recovery, and forensic analysis.
In the case of a data loss event, recovering vital data and getting your website back online as fast as possible all comes down to having extensive and accessible backups. Similarly, security patches and routine plugin updates can lower the risk and impact of security breaches. In addition to these measures, Spiral Scout support specialists will set up and use proactive monitoring tools like ping watchdogs, system health indicators, and log reviews that help spot problems as soon as they arise and automatically notify the incident response team that a fix is needed urgently.
These tactics will increase your system’s resilience, reducing the impact incidents may have on your web application’s performance and overall downtime.
Proactive quality assurance reviews equip Spiral Scout web developers with the oversight they need to catch potential software bugs, performance and problems arising from third-party software upgrades before they become emergencies and affect your bottom line.
End-to-end reviews also open the door to discovering opportunities for improving the overall user experience of your website and planning future upgrades. Spiral Scout’s website support team will highlight key findings from quality reviews in easy-to-read reports for you as well as make actionable recommendations and estimate timelines for addressing those improvements.

Software maintenance consists of a series of procedures to improve the functioning of a software app after it has been launched. It can be performed for many reasons — from fixing bugs to making tweaks so that the software aligns with your company's objectives and customers' needs. Businesses also schedule maintenance to improve software performance and ensure that it's up-to-date. Unlike maintenance, the scope of support service is limited to fixing small and major bugs in the software. The role of a software support service provider is to scan the system, identify the problems, and offer the most reliable solution.
A Web Maintenance Package includes:
- Security updates and fixes.
- Web performance monitoring and optimization (especially speed issues).
- Updates to web content (including SEO, CTAs and broken links).
- Server maintenance.
- User experience optimization (on-page UX, accessibility, etc.)
Regularly updating and maintaining your site is crucial to ensuring that your site is running at full capacity. Just like cars, websites require maintenance to operate properly. Properly maintaining your site helps to ensure site security, increase the number of new visitors, boost returning traffic, and more.
