The problem
Security updates only protect your site once they’re applied. On a care plan, they go in on schedule — you never have to think about them.
Outdated core, stale caches, and aging modules quietly slow the site — costing visitors, leads, and search ranking.
Without a maintainer, small issues pile into an expensive backlog — and every fix becomes an emergency invoice.
The fix: a care retainer works like insurance for your website — one predictable monthly cost, and a direct line to an engineer who already knows your site.

Who you’re working with
I’m Tolu Laleye, a Toronto-based Drupal specialist — formerly Software Engineering Manager at OpenText, where I led a nine-person team shipping enterprise cybersecurity commerce software.
Before that: development manager, consultant, and senior engineer on Drupal platforms across healthcare, travel commerce, and e-learning — including a performance audit that made one platform’s application and search 83% faster.
When you’re on a care plan, I’m the one applying your updates, watching your monitoring, and answering your Slack messages. No hand-offs.
FAQ
Core, modules, browsers, and attack methods never stop changing. Unpatched sites are the ones that get hacked, slow down, and slide in search rankings. Steady care keeps you secure, fast, and current.
One skipped security update — or one wrong click — can take a site down. Unless you have a Drupal specialist with spare time on staff, it’s safest with someone who lives in Drupal every day.
Yes — most care clients arrive with an existing site. Onboarding starts with a full audit, so nothing surprises us later.
On Growth and Enterprise plans they roll over for up to two months. Anything beyond your allotment bills at the standard hourly rate, and you can upgrade tiers any time.
Drupal 7 is past end-of-life, so it needs extra care — and a migration plan. Both are covered: care now, and an upgrade path to Drupal 10/11 when you’re ready.
Discovery call this week, free audit right after, onboarding in about a week. Most sites are under care within two weeks.
I’ll review your site’s security, performance, and pending updates on the call — and you keep the findings whether or not we work together. I maintain every client site personally, so I only take on a few new care clients at a time.
