Python Django Support Retainers
Reliable monthly support packages for organizations that depend on the Django framework to run their web applications and backend systems. Continuous maintenance, improvement, and dedicated development.
Is Your Django Application in Good Hands?
Limiting risks
Whether your project is a SaaS platform, a marketplace, a company website, internal business tool or a mobile app backend powered by Django – our monthly retainer plans give you ongoing access to experienced Django developers who know the framework inside and out. We handle everything from critical security patches and version upgrades to custom feature development and DevOps tasks, all on a predictable monthly schedule that minimizes risk and downtime.
What Makes Our Retainers Different?
We don’t limit the type of work (or the roles) you can request. Within your chosen monthly hours, we handle anything Django-related — bug fixes, new API endpoints, front-end UI updates, performance tuning, UX/UI design tasks, CI/CD pipeline improvements, data migrations, test automation, third-party integrations, you name it. Our cross-functional team can cover backend development, DevOps, UX/UI tweaks, QA testing, even product analysis if needed. If it’s part of your Django app or its ecosystem, we cover it.
Tailored Support That Scales With You
Choose from 20, 40, or 80 hours per month depending on your needs. Smaller plans are perfect for ongoing maintenance, routine updates, and small enhancements. Larger plans support active development of new features, complex customizations, major migrations, and DevOps automation on an ongoing basis. You can start with a lower commitment and scale up or down as your project evolves – our support grows with you, with no long-term contracts locking you in.
