Always on

We never close.

No weekends off, no holidays, no out-of-office. A person replies within 1 hour, at any hour. A live site that’s down gets someone within 30 minutes.

A reply means a person read your message, answered it and said what happens next. Never an automatic acknowledgement. No out-of-office replies, at all.

043am on a Sunday

Something breaks at 3am.

It’s Sunday where you are. Here’s what happens here.

  1. Minute 0

    Your checkout stops taking orders.

  2. Minute 1

    Monitoring checks every minute, so it notices. The on-call phone rings. A call, not a notification, and it keeps ringing.

  3. Minute 10

    Nobody picked up? A second phone rings, the backup’s.

  4. Within 30 minutes

    A person is on it, and talking to you.

  5. Afterwards

    Fixed, or safely worked around. Hourly updates until it is. A written report within 24 hours.

Your message about a headline, sent just after midnight, gets a reply within 1 hour. Then the headline gets changed. On Sunday.

05Every calendar

Open on every calendar.

Holidays move with the moon, the sun and the country. Our answer doesn’t.

06The honest part

Directly, every time.

  • We do everything directly. No subcontractors, no agency behind the agency, no handover to someone you’ve never met.
  • Not one person awake all year. People here sleep and take holidays. The studio doesn’t close, because someone else is on.
  • Not a chatbot. Every reply comes from a person who can fix the thing.
  • The person who replies can fix the thing. Emergencies are worked on until they’re fixed, not passed along.

Try us at an odd hour.

Write whenever suits you. A person replies within 1 hour.
