How we work Continuous Monthly Development

Continuous development, at prices you know in advance

Continuous Monthly Development (CMD) delivers continuous software development, support and improvements, without the administration, uncertainty and delays of traditional software development.

Send tasks as they arise

Instead of starting a new project every time something needs changing, you simply send your tasks whenever they arise for this kind of continuous software development. We continuously build, improve, and maintain your software and systems.

Continuous Monthly Development is not a maintenance agreement that sends you an automated report once a month and stops there. It is real development work: you send the tasks, and we implement the changes you want done. On top of that, every plan includes the Monthly System Check at no extra cost: a report on the 1st of every month, listing the things you should be aware of.

Why we created Continuous Monthly Development

Software is never finished. Businesses change, clients request new features, and technology keeps evolving, so your software needs to evolve with your business.

Yet many companies postpone valuable improvements because even the smallest change becomes a project of its own: a developer has to be found, a quotation prepared, reviewed, and approved, and then the whole process repeats for the next improvement.

CMD removes that administration. You send us your tasks whenever they arise; we keep your software and systems moving forward. Care and Care Plus remove approvals entirely; Care Ultimate keeps exactly one, a fixed price you say yes to before work begins. You shouldn't have to think about quotations before fixing a bug, and you shouldn't postpone improvements because administration takes longer than the work itself.

Three ways to run it: Care, Care Plus, and Care Ultimate

The right plan depends on how much communication your work needs and how fast things get done: one ongoing task in Care, two in Care Plus, and virtually no limit in Care Ultimate. One thing never changes, on any plan: every task is handled by the best person for the task, whether that means a developer, a designer, a tester, an AI expert, a software architect, or an online marketing expert.

Care is for work you can simply describe and hand over. Everything runs in writing through our project management system, no meetings needed, because the tasks are clear enough that our experience fills in the rest. One fixed monthly price, no estimates to approve, no cost overruns. One active task at a time keeps the flow simple and reliable.

Care Plus is the same idea, for work that's occasionally a little more involved, when you want advice, a second opinion, or to plan something together before it starts. It includes up to two hours of meetings per month with a Project Manager or any 1902 Software expert (an AI specialist, a designer, whoever the topic needs), and up to two ongoing tasks at a time. Same fixed monthly price principle, nothing billed on top.

Care Ultimate is for ongoing engagements, often across multiple systems, that need close collaboration: regular meetings, different experts involved, decisions made together along the way. A fixed price for every task or group of tasks, approved by you before work begins, and people with the right expertise added to your project as your needs grow. Meetings with any 1902 Software expert are available whenever you need them (billed at the going project management rate for the actual time spent). Compare all three on our Pricing page.

No lock-in period

There is no lock-in on any plan. Care and Care Plus can be cancelled anytime before your monthly anniversary, and on Care Ultimate you simply stop sending tasks whenever you choose. No long-term contract, no notice period measured in months, no exit fees.

We want you to stay because your software keeps moving forward every month, not because you're locked into staying.

When you're ready to start, sign up and pay online, or receive an invoice and pay by bank transfer.

One service, all your systems

Our software maintenance and support services aren't limited to a single system or technology. One task might be a WordPress site, the next a Magento store, then Shopify, a .NET app, or a mobile app. We involve the right specialists for each and prioritize the work with you, so the development effort always goes where it creates the most value.

Many clients manage multiple systems with only occasional support needs on each, but prefer one reliable supplier over juggling multiple vendors. This service is built for exactly that.

Designed around how much communication your work needs

Care and Care Plus work best for tasks you can simply describe and hand over, "fix this, improve that, add this", standard work that needs little discussion before it can begin. That's exactly why they can run without estimates, approvals, and meetings for every task.

Some businesses need more than that: a steady, higher volume of work, or initiatives where real coordination is needed, planning discussions, meetings with your other suppliers, integration decisions, more than one developer working at a time. That's what Care Ultimate is for: the same easy way of sending tasks, with a fixed price for every task or group of tasks, approved by you before work begins. Meetings with any 1902 Software expert are available whenever you need them.

Your Project Manager will always tell you when your needs have grown beyond your current plan and recommend the right next step.

How it works

  1. Book a meeting.
  2. We establish your Continuous Monthly Development service.
  3. Send tasks whenever new work arises, website and ecommerce improvements, integrations, design, UX/UI, mobile development, bug fixes, platform upgrades, analytics, AI implementation and more.
  4. We continuously build, improve, maintain and deploy your software.

Some months that means many smaller improvements; other months, completing part of a larger initiative. The result is steady, continuous progress rather than a series of disconnected projects, without the cost and commitment of employing a full-time developer.

If you're unsure whether a task is suitable, simply ask us during your meeting.

The Monthly System Check

Every plan includes the Monthly System Check: a report on the 1st of every month, sent as a PDF to you and your Project Manager. It opens with the new issues found, the issues resolved since last month, and everything prioritized high, medium, or low.

The report is included in your plan at no extra cost. The fixes it recommends run as normal tasks: within your plan's capacity on Care and Care Plus, and at a fixed price you approve for each task or group on Care Ultimate. Many clients treat it as their development to-do list for the following month.

Not to be confused with our optional 24/7 AI-assisted automated QA add-on (continuous functional testing, token usage billed separately based on actual usage, but not all automated tests use tokens) or the paid one-time technical audit. The Monthly System Check is the included, recurring report. Read more on our Monthly System Check page.

Does it sound too good to be true?

We understand the hesitation. You get the monthly output of an experienced specialist, always the best person for each task, for a fixed monthly price that's a fraction of the cost of employing one. That can sound too good to be true.

Three things are worth knowing before you decide.

You're not getting one developer. You're getting a roster of specialists. When you need Magento work, an experienced Magento developer does it. When the next task is WordPress, AI implementation, design, or testing, specialists in those areas step in.

We've been doing this since 1998. 1902 Software is a Danish-owned company with more than 28 years of history, more than 180 Google reviews rated 4.9/5, and clients who have stayed with us for many years. Read our reviews on Google and our client stories before you decide. We encourage it.

There's no lock-in period. Care and Care Plus can be cancelled anytime before your monthly anniversary, and on Care Ultimate you simply stop sending tasks.

So the honest way to evaluate the service is simply to test it. If it works the way we say it does, and our clients say it does, the upside is too big to ignore. If it doesn't, you cancel, and you've lost nothing but one month of trying.

Experience the redefined way to build, support and improve software

Built around fixed-price thinking and software development as a service, Continuous Monthly Development combines modern engineering and professional service to remove surprises, reduce administration and keep your business moving forward.

Free, no-commitment

Commonly asked questions

Does this mean we get a full-time developer?

No.

Each month you get the output you would normally expect from one experienced specialist. It is not always the same person: every task is handled by the best person for the task, whether that means a developer, a designer, a tester, an AI expert, a software architect, or an online marketing expert. It does not mean a developer is dedicated exclusively to your business.

One of the biggest advantages over hiring a single developer is that you’re not limited to one person’s skills. If you need Magento development, an experienced Magento developer works on it. If the next priority is WordPress, mobile development, testing, design or AI implementation, we involve specialists in those areas. You benefit from the expertise of an entire software development company rather than relying on a single individual.

Can you work on different systems, or is it limited to one?

You can assign us tasks across your entire tech stack, fixing a bug in WordPress, resolving issues in Magento, adding a new app to Shopify, or any other supported technology.

Can we submit tasks whenever we need them?

Yes. Simply send your requests as they arise. They are reviewed and continuously prioritized together with you according to business value.

Is every task covered?

Yes, both small and large development tasks. The difference is how long the work takes to complete.

Smaller requests are naturally completed sooner, while a larger initiative may take longer, possibly a month or two, depending on the size of the job. If completing a larger project quickly is important, a Fixed Price Project is often the better choice, because additional resources can be assigned to accelerate delivery. Many clients use both.

What's the difference between Care, Care Plus, and Care Ultimate?

Care: everything in writing, one fixed monthly price, no meetings, one active task at a time.

Care Plus: everything in Care at its own fixed monthly price, plus up to two hours of meetings per month with a Project Manager or any 1902 Software expert, and up to two ongoing tasks at a time.

Care Ultimate: for close, ongoing collaboration, often across multiple systems. A fixed price for every task or group of tasks, approved by you before work begins, and people with the right expertise added as your needs grow. Meetings with any 1902 Software expert are available whenever you need them.

Are project management and meetings included?

Yes. With Care and Care Plus, project management and the meetings covered by your plan are part of the fixed monthly price. There are no hourly charges on top. With Care Ultimate, you can meet with any 1902 Software expert whenever you need to; meetings are billed at the going project management rate for actual time spent, never rounded up, and your Project Manager will always explain this before it applies.

Is there a lock-in period?

No. There is no lock-in on any plan. Care and Care Plus can be cancelled anytime before your monthly anniversary, and on Care Ultimate you simply stop sending tasks whenever you choose and pay any outstanding balance. If you have an unused prepayment on account with us, it will be refunded within a maximum of 30 days. If the prepayment was made in one year and refunded in another, we deduct 25% tax and refund the net amount. No long-term contract, no exit fees.

Can we switch between Care, Care Plus, and Care Ultimate?

Yes. You can move between plans as your needs change, your current plan runs to the end of the billing month, and the new plan begins from the next month. The same applies if you want to move to a Fixed Price Project: Continuous Monthly Development runs to the end of the current month regardless of when you decide.

Do we need to sign a new quotation every time we submit a request?

With Care and Care Plus, no. Removing that administration is one of the main benefits.

With Care Ultimate, you approve a fixed price for every task or group of tasks before work begins; at that level of engagement, per-task cost control is exactly what you want.

Is Care Ultimate cheaper than Care for a small workload?

No. Care is the least expensive way to get ongoing work done, because everything is bundled into one fixed monthly price. With Care Ultimate, every task is separately estimated, coordinated and given a fixed price for your approval, and its prices reflect that work, and meetings are billed separately. Care Ultimate is worth it when your engagement genuinely needs that level of collaboration, not as a way to buy a small amount of work.

Can we send tasks that aren't development, like marketing or SEO?

Yes. The best person for the task handles it. A question about structured data, for example how to set up JSON-LD so AI systems and search engines read your site correctly, goes to an online marketing expert, not a developer.

Can we add automated testing to our plan?

Yes, on Care Plus and Care Ultimate. AI-assisted automated QA is an optional add-on: AI agents test your website or shop on a schedule that suits you, 24/7, checking things like load time, form submission and key functionality, among others. Token usage is billed separately, based on actual usage. Not all automated tests use tokens, and your Project Manager will always tell you in advance which tests do.

What technologies do you support?

Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, WordPress, Umbraco, custom software, .NET, React, mobile applications, cloud platforms, and many other technologies. Read more about what we do.

What does the Monthly System Check cover?

It depends on your system: versions and updates, security checks, speed, SEO and AI-visibility errors, visible UI issues, and conversion-page problems for websites and shops; framework, package, and configuration checks for .NET systems; and crash logs, API errors, and store warnings for apps, among others. See the Monthly System Check page for the full picture.
