The setup that keeps a site or system online
Web Works Rise sets up and looks after the hosting and infrastructure behind websites and software. That includes where the project runs, how it is deployed, how it is monitored, and how it is backed up.
The host is chosen for each project, and Amazon Web Services is used when the project is best served by AWS. A marketing site does not automatically need the same setup as a system with bookings, logins and stored enquiries.
Day-to-day content edits and small fixes after launch are covered by maintenance and support.
The launch plan stops at the code. The site or system is being built, and nobody has yet decided where it will run, how a new version is released, or who can deploy it.
The current host is a constraint. Deployments are manual, the environment is unclear, or the hosting makes ordinary updates riskier than they should be.
There are no clear backups or monitoring. If the site failed overnight, it is not obvious whether anyone would know, or whether a recent copy could be restored.
The infrastructure has grown piecemeal. Domains, certificates, environments and secrets have accumulated, and a new person cannot see how a release gets to production.
Infrastructure is scoped to the website or system it supports, and the work can cover any of the areas below.
Hosting setup. The environment the site or application runs in, sized and configured for that project.
AWS. Amazon Web Services when the project needs cloud infrastructure on AWS, including the pieces required to run and deploy the application.
Deployment. A repeatable way to release a new version, with separate environments where the project needs a place to test before production.
Domains and certificates. The public address and HTTPS, so the launched site is reachable and the connection is encrypted.
Monitoring and backups. Checks that show whether the service is up, and backups so a restore is possible. The exact checks depend on the project.
Security configuration. Access, secrets and the basic hardening of the environment, agreed as part of the setup rather than left for later.
Migration from unsuitable hosting. When the current host is the problem, the site or system can be moved. The plan covers what must keep working during the change.
The setup follows what the application does, and what would hurt the business if it were unavailable.
The current host, how releases happen today, and what the site or system has to keep available.
AWS, or another host that fits the project. A simple site and a system with private data are not given the same plan.
Environments, deployment, domains, certificates, access and backups.
Who can deploy, where the logs and backups are, and what maintenance covers after launch.
These are the infrastructure choices used in practice. They are not all used on every project.
The current host, the address, and what must stay available are enough for a first view. If the project is not built yet, we include hosting in the build plan.

The Bouden Coach Travel rebuild included hosting and deployment at launch. The site is hosted on Vercel. Other client systems are placed on the platform that fits them, including AWS when that is the right infrastructure.
View this projectPage speed is often the visible symptom of a hosting or front-end problem.
Infrastructure is handled by the same UK-led team that builds the site or the software, with DevOps capability in the Tunisia delivery hub. The host is chosen by people who know what the application does.
The setup is explained in plain terms: where it runs, how a release goes out, and what is backed up. Ongoing content changes stay with maintenance and support.
Hosting is usually set up as part of a website or software project. An existing site can be reviewed and moved when the current hosting is the problem. Tell us what it runs on and we will tell you whether we can take it on.
Yes. AWS is used for hosting and infrastructure when the project needs it. It is not applied to every brochure site by default.
This service is the infrastructure: hosting, deployment, monitoring, backups and the security configuration around them. Maintenance is the ongoing contact, content updates and fixes after the site is live. A project can include both.
No uptime percentage is offered as a blanket promise. Monitoring, backups and a sensible deployment setup are part of the work. The operational detail is agreed for the project.
