Your headless site lost its developer.
We take over Next.js, Sanity, and headless Shopify sites the original builder left behind. A codebase audit on day one, then hosting, monitoring, and monthly changes on a fixed retainer. We run sites on this stack every day.
The maintenance shops cannot read your code.
You paid for a premium build. Next.js on the front, a Sanity backend, maybe a headless Shopify storefront. It was fast, it ranked, and it looked like nothing a template could produce.
Then the developer moved on, or the agency folded. Now a simple change request sits for weeks.
The WordPress shops you call do not work in React. The freelancers who do are booked, or gone by the next sprint. Two businesses with orphaned Next.js and Sanity sites found us this way in 2026: cold, after everyone else had said no.
Close to no Australian studio advertises headless maintenance. The people who can work in these stacks are busy building new ones, which is exactly why your site has been stuck.
In-house range: typical Australian market pay for a mid-to-senior React developer, before on-costs.
A care plan from $1,500 a month runs $18,000 a year. One senior React hire costs close to eight times that, before super, recruitment, or the risk they leave the same way the last one did.
A full-time hire also needs enough React work to stay busy. Most sites that lose their developer do not have it. A retainer gives you the same skill only when the site needs it.
It starts with an audit.
On day one we read the whole codebase, the Sanity schema, and the deploy pipeline, then hand you a written map of what you own. Plenty of the sites we take over never had one.
Then the retainer keeps it running.
Hosting, uptime monitoring, security and dependency updates, and a set number of change hours each month. Larger work is scoped and quoted firm on top.
We run these stacks every day.
You keep the code
Every change stays in your repo. We work in your setup, never lock you into ours.
A team, not a person
Your site stops depending on one freelancer's calendar and inbox.

Four steps.
Then we own the upkeep.
Builds and runs Next.js and Sanity properties directly, including Compound and Vibe Coder HQ. Reads your codebase himself on the takeover audit, so the person quoting the work is the person who understands the stack.
