Software you depend on, and nobody to maintain it.
Your business runs on software, but there is no engineer responsible for maintaining it. Wanta.dev provides ongoing software maintenance and development without requiring a full-time hire.
Take ownership of an application nobody currently maintains.
It works, until it does not.
The application may have been built by a former employee, freelance developer or agency. It still runs today, so ownership remains unresolved.
The risk builds quietly: knowledge disappears, dependencies age, backups go untested and every small change becomes harder to arrange.
The software nobody is looking after.
Take ownership of an application nobody currently maintains
Repair an admin system that keeps breaking
Document how the software works, deploys and is accessed
Update dependencies that have been left behind for years
Test backups before the day they are actually needed
Make changes without relying on a former contractor or being afraid to touch it
First make it understandable. Then make it safer to change.
Access and continuity
Identify the repository, hosting, domains, third-party services and business access needed to keep the software operating.
Documentation and understanding
Record how the application works, how it is deployed and where its important dependencies sit.
Stability and recovery
Address outdated dependencies, fragile releases and untested backups in a sensible order.
Ongoing development
Once there is a reliable baseline, continue with the fixes, features and integrations the business needs.
How Wanta.dev works
One priority.
Finished properly.
Then the next.
For £3,795/month, Wanta.dev gives your business ongoing senior software engineering without adding another permanent hire.
We deliver in your existing codebase, with priorities managed through your dedicated Wanta.dev backlog. We shape and deliver one active priority at a time:
Keep the core team focused
Roadmap commitments and production work stay with your team while Wanta.dev owns the neglected priority.
Shape unclear work
We turn an old request, rough ticket or incomplete idea into a clear deliverable before building it.
Carry it through
Definition, implementation, review and release are treated as one piece of work, not handed back halfway through.
Start with the right priority.Leave with a clear next step.
Tell us about your software and the work that needs attention. Together, we’ll identify where to start and whether Wanta.dev is the right fit. You’ll leave with a clear recommendation, whether or not you subscribe.
