Launching your SaaS platform is only the beginning. What happens when a critical bug appears on a Friday evening, your infrastructure needs scaling ahead of a campaign, or a security patch requires urgent deployment? Without a reliable support partner in your corner, those moments can cost you users, revenue and reputation.
At By Design UK, our dedicated SaaS support plans give you a technical team on standby — without the overhead of hiring in-house developers. Whether we built your platform or you’re bringing us in to maintain an existing product, we offer structured, transparent support starting from £797 per month.
Our support plans are designed for SaaS founders and product teams who need consistent, professional technical backing. Depending on the tier you choose, your plan can include:
Every plan is scoped clearly before we begin. You know exactly what you’re paying for each month — no surprise invoices, no scope disputes.
Our SaaS support plans start from £797 per month, scaling upward based on your platform’s complexity, response time requirements and the volume of development hours included. For larger platforms or those with enterprise-level SLAs, plans are priced accordingly and agreed in writing before any work begins.
If you’re also at the stage of building your product from scratch, our SaaS development service handles full builds ranging from £18,000 for an MVP through to £650,000 and above for complex, multi-tenant enterprise platforms. Many clients move naturally from a build engagement into an ongoing support plan — keeping the same team familiar with every line of their codebase.
This is a question we hear often, and it deserves a straight answer. Freelancers can be talented, but they introduce real risk: a single point of failure, no cover when they’re unavailable, and — critically — ownership of your codebase that often feels ambiguous until it becomes a problem. When a freelancer moves on or becomes unresponsive, you can be left with a platform you can’t maintain or hand over to anyone else.
Large agencies, on the other hand, tend to operate at a pace and price point that doesn’t suit growing SaaS businesses. Long procurement cycles, account managers layered between you and the engineers, and pricing that rarely reflects what you’re actually receiving — these are common frustrations. You may also find your project sitting in a queue behind larger clients.
By Design UK sits deliberately between these two options. You get the responsiveness and direct communication of a specialist team, with the structure, accountability and documented processes of a proper agency. Fixed pricing. Full source code ownership from day one. A UK address and a team you can actually reach.
We don’t just build for clients — we build for ourselves too. Tackly.co.uk is a live, multi-toolkit SaaS platform that we developed and continue to operate. It demonstrates our ability to architect scalable software products, manage ongoing infrastructure, and iterate on a real platform under real conditions. When you engage By Design UK for a support plan, you’re working with a team that understands what it means to own and run a SaaS product — not just to build one and walk away.
Our approach is grounded in the same principles we apply to client work: clean architecture, maintainable code, and documentation that means any competent developer can pick up where we left off. That transparency is a core part of our values as a UK software development agency.
If you run an ecommerce store rather than a SaaS platform, we offer equivalent ongoing support through our Shopify services, with plans starting from £299 per month. The same principles apply: fixed monthly cost, direct access to your team, and no hidden charges.
Yes. We regularly onboard platforms built by previous developers or agencies. We’ll carry out a codebase review at the start of the engagement to understand the architecture, identify any risks, and agree on a realistic support scope before we begin.
Response times are defined clearly in your support agreement. Higher-tier plans include faster response windows for critical incidents. All plans include a defined process for raising urgent issues outside of standard hours.
Absolutely. Full source code ownership is a non-negotiable part of how we work. Any code written during your support engagement belongs to you. There are no lock-in mechanisms and no proprietary wrappers that would prevent you from taking your platform elsewhere.
The first step is a straightforward scoping conversation. Get in touch with our team and tell us about your platform, your current pain points, and what level of ongoing support you’re looking for. We’ll come back to you with a clear proposal and fixed monthly price.
