Support and Maintenance
When you’re budgeting for a project, factor in the cost of support and maintenance. Because whether you support your website or software yourself, through another vendor, or CoLab, tech that isn’t maintained falls apart!
We offer the following services, either on a retainer (monthly, quarterly) or as needed.
Code support
Team augmentation for continued site improvements
Security audits
Accessibility audits
