Beyond the Build: Nurturing clients for long-term success

A great website isn't a one-off project. That's why our teams are committed to long-term partnerships with our clients.

A wealth of experience

At Fat Beehive we’ve been designing and building exceptional websites for 27 years. But what truly sets us apart isn’t just our expertise in crafting engaging digital experiences – it’s the care, support, and long-term partnership we now offer our clients after their website goes live. Because a great website isn’t a one-off project; it’s an evolving, dynamic entity that needs regular attention in order to flourish.

A website is just the beginning

Investing in a new website is a significant commitment for any organisation. But far too often, businesses’ attention is focused on the launch and tends to overlook what comes next. Without ongoing maintenance, updates, and strategic guidance, even the best-designed website can become outdated, slow, or vulnerable to security risks. That’s where we shine. Our dedicated Account Managers and expert Project Managers work tirelessly to ensure that every client’s website remains a powerful, effective, and secure platform to showcase their work.

Ongoing support that makes a difference

Our Account Managers are committed to building lasting relationships with our clients. We don’t just hand over a website and walk away – we stay by your side, ensuring your digital platform continues to evolve and improve. Whether it’s answering queries, providing recommendations, or helping you get the most out of your website, our team is always on hand to help.

Meanwhile, our Project Managers are committed to delivering a structured and results-driven approach, setting clear Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to align website performance with your strategic goals. We organise quarterly reporting to track progress, measure success, and identify opportunities for growth. And with our retainer packages, which are far more cost effective than paying for work on an ad hoc basis, you have the flexibility to quickly and easily update and refine your website over time, ensuring it remains aligned with your evolving requirements.

WP Engine: Secure, scalable, and reliable hosting

A great website needs a solid, secure hosting environment, which is why we’ve recently migrated to WP Engine. As a world-class hosting provider, WP Engine ensures optimal site speed, security, and reliability. With features like daily plugin updates, advanced security measures, and seamless WordPress updates, WP Engine allows our clients to focus on their mission without worrying about their website’s performance.

By partnering with WP Engine, we offer:

  • Enterprise-level security to keep your website safe from threats.
  • Lightning-fast page loading speeds, enhancing user experience and SEO.
  • Automatic backups and updates, reducing the risk of downtime.
  • Scalability, so your website can grow in tandem with your organisation.

Why ongoing website management matters

A website is like a garden – it needs regular care and attention to blossom. Without ongoing updates, security patches, and content refreshes, websites can quickly become outdated, slow, or even vulnerable to cyber threats. Our expert team minimises the risk of that happening.

Here’s what we provide:

  • Regular security and performance updates to keep your site running smoothly.
  • Content management support, ensuring your site stays fresh and relevant.
  • Technical maintenance to prevent issues before they arise.
  • Data-driven insights, helping you refine your digital strategy.

A proven track record of client success

For nearly 30 years, we’ve been trusted by charities, nonprofits, and ethical organisations to build and maintain their digital presence. Our long-standing client relationships are a testament to the care, expertise, and support we bring to every project.

We know that a website isn’t just a product – it’s an ongoing service. That’s why we’re in it for the long haul, ensuring that every client gets the most from their website. With Fat Beehive, you’re not just getting a website – you’re gaining a trusted, dedicated digital partner.
