Support Plan Advantages
Support Overview
Our support includes all of the below:
Support Charges
Our support charges are as follows: Typically 4 hours per month (charged at £100 per hour) pre-billed at £400 per month. For example, we would bill at the beginning of December for a Support Plan month that runs through January. The next billing would then be invoiced at the beginning of January for the month of February.
All estimates are based on a blended hourly rate of £100p/hr +VAT, so you do not pay more for escalations or senior input.
The Process
In general, our support onboarding will follow the below process.
Dev site hosting- £25.00 per month (ongoing)
This report allows us to check things like the database and Magento logs for any errors that should be rectified and report on areas of the site that could do with improvements or changes.
Please note: This work will be undertaken by a senior Magento specialist as opposed to being a 'bot' that generates a low level / standard report.
Other specific actions include:
6/ User Interface / Design Audit : 8hrs
We adopt a brief page-by-page look at the User Interface (UI) of your site. The audit is intended to offer suggestions that can be applied to improve the overall usability of the site without large scale redesign or long development times.
During the review, the site is 'sense checked' to see how the sites UI can be improved including the general styling of the site, since this is a key factor in the overall usability of the site which can then have an impact on conversions and customer journeys.
Furthermore, considerations such as functionality working well on small screens and touch devices are given significant attention in line with the continued trend of mobile devices being the primary way sites are viewed.
And an in-depth competitor analysis is also undertaken to see what else can be done to keep up with current trends.
If you are an existing Magento user, we have the knowledge and experience to handle the maintenance and support of your store even if we didn’t develop your site. Perhaps your site is running an outdated version of Magento that needs upgrading, or you may have concerns about the build quality and performance of your site. If so, we can provide a simple, no obligation health-check and can advise on your site’s status and any improvements required.
If your Magento store is a little sluggish or you’re experiencing issues with third-party integrations, a Magento Audit by Absolute could help. Our audits investigate four key areas of a Magento store; technical, security, digital marketing and migration (from Magento to Magento 2).
A strategic and comprehensive audit carried out by our Magento certified developers and Digital Marketing Team will search for areas of weakness and highlight any potential issues. Depending on your site requirements, you can choose the audit you need.
On ‘sign-up’, we’ll use a series of tools to undertake an essential security report to record how up-to-date the version of Magento you’re using is, and indicate the SUPEE security patches it should have installed to prevent known vulnerabilities. If you are a hosted customer, we will also review your current server provision in terms of speed and security and provide the following services:
Resource monitoring
Resource alerts
New Relic advanced analysis.
Typically, clients with existing Magento 1 installations ask us to carry out tasks such as: addressing security following a malicious attack, increasing site speed, improving page ranking or adding additional functionality such as Google Shopping or a one-page checkout. Your support contract can be used to cover these improvements.
We are sometimes asked to make older sites responsive so that they present optimised views on tablet and mobile, however given the investment required for the design and build of bespoke responsive templates, we often advise that a new site is built, based on our Magento 2 boilerplate theme because this is more cost effective.
As you’ll be aware, Magento 2, the next generation of the Magento platform, is now the standard for new Magento sites. We have launched a number of sites based on our pre-developed Magento 2 boilerplate theme.
If your brand does not require a U/X analysis for the complete customer journey but is a typical shopping cart experience, then we can utilise our pre-existing theme for the layout of ‘standard’ page layouts such as categories, products, blogs, about. This means we only need to undertake bespoke design and front end development for the homepage, content page, plus carry over the agreed design to our theme for the remaining subpages.
This approach allows us to deliver a design & build Magento 2 ecommerce website that reflects your brand and product mix at a much lower price point compared to typical site builds., Our Magento 2 projects start at £15,000 for a fully responsive store.
