Every Hour of Downtime Costs You Sales

Checkout failures

Checkout Breaks Silently

A plugin update conflicts with your payment gateway. Orders stop. You find out when a customer emails — hours or days later.

Slow site

Speed Drops, Sales Drop

Every extra second of load time cuts conversion. Bloated themes, uncached pages and neglected databases quietly bleed revenue every month.

Constant fixes

Something Always Needs Fixing

Updates, security patches, broken emails, failed images. Without an engineer on hand, small issues turn into weekend emergencies.

One Team.
Your Whole Store.

Cosmic Egg is your outsourced technical team. We monitor, maintain, patch and improve your WooCommerce store every month, so you spend your time selling instead of debugging plugins.

And when you're ready to grow, we build new features, custom functionality and complex third-party integrations — this isn't just maintenance cover.

No agency fluff. No ticket queues staffed by generalists. Just senior engineers who know WooCommerce end-to-end.

What's Covered Every Month

Proactive maintenance

Proactive Maintenance

WordPress core, WooCommerce, plugins and themes updated on a controlled schedule. Tested on staging before it ever touches your live store.

Security and code maintenance

Security & Code Maintenance

Timely security patches, hardened configuration and malware monitoring. We keep your codebase clean, dependencies current and vulnerabilities closed before they turn into incidents.

Performance optimisation

Performance Optimisation

Caching, image optimisation, database tuning and Core Web Vitals work. Faster pages, more completed checkouts, better ad ROI.

Emergency Fixes When It Matters

Store down? Checkout broken? Payment gateway failing? Your plan includes priority response so a senior engineer starts work — not a ticket sitting in a queue.

We treat your store like production infrastructure, because that's what it is.

Why Store Owners Stay With Us

15+ Years on WooCommerce

We've been building on WordPress and WooCommerce since before it was called WooCommerce. Deep platform knowledge, not surface-level agency work.

Senior Engineers, Not Ticket Handlers

Every request goes straight to an engineer who can actually fix it. No offshore triage, no scripted responses, no escalation ladder.

Cape Town Based, Rand Billing

Local team on your time zone. Invoiced in Rand, no forex surprises, and a senior engineer reachable in SA business hours when something breaks.

How Onboarding Works

1. Discovery Call

A 30-minute call to understand your store, your stack, and what's been keeping you up at night. No pitch.

2. Technical Audit

We audit your site — security, performance, backups, plugin health — and send you a written report before you commit to anything.

3. You're Covered

Pick a plan. We take over maintenance, monitoring and support. Most stores are fully onboarded within 5 business days.

Common Questions

Isn't this cheaper than hiring in-house?

A mid-level WordPress developer in South Africa costs R25–40k a month, plus benefits, leave, sick pay and bench time. Our Growth plan gives you a senior team for a fraction of that, with no HR overhead.

How fast do you respond to emergencies?

Same-day on Essential, within 2 business hours on Growth, within 1 hour on Scale during covered hours. Critical checkout failures always jump the queue regardless of plan.

Where are you based?

We're a Cape Town-based team working South African business hours. Same time zone as you, invoiced in Rand, and no timezone gymnastics when something breaks.

What if we don't use all our hours?

Unused hours roll over one month. In practice most clients use their plan fully — proactive optimisation always finds something worth improving.

Can we cancel?

Yes, month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No long contracts. We keep clients because they want to stay, not because they're locked in.

What about one-off projects and migrations?

Available, but monthly plans are always better value once you use more than a few hours. If you need a build or migration first, we'll quote it separately and roll you onto a plan afterwards.

Stop Firefighting. Start Selling.

Book a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll walk through your store, flag anything urgent, and tell you honestly whether a plan makes sense for you.
