Website Support After Developer Passes Away
If your web developer has sadly passed away, we understand this may leave you unsure where to turn next. At Zest City, we’re here to help you secure your website, continue its care, and ensure nothing is lost or left unmanaged.
Supporting Kevin Needham’s Clients With Care
Firstly, we’d like to extend our deepest sympathies to those who knew Kevin. We had the pleasure of briefly connecting with him through mutual contacts and were struck by his professionalism and dedication.
We also share in the frustration and sadness regarding how his illness was handled. It’s never easy losing someone — and even more difficult when the circumstances leave unanswered questions.
But while we respect the grieving process, we also recognise there are now practical concerns for clients whose websites Kevin managed. Roland Beaumont has kindly introduced us to assist you going forward, and we’re ready to provide the support and continuity you deserve.
🤝 Why You Can Trust Us to Help
Roland has been working with Zest City for several years. We currently manage websites for several of his clients, which means that:
- We’re already familiar with his setup and support processes
- We’ve worked directly with some of you before
- We’re ready to step in quickly and keep things running smoothly
In total, Zest City serves over 250 businesses across Kent, Essex and London. We’re based at the CEME Innovation Centre and well placed to serve both counties.
Clients we currently support through Roland include:
👥 A Team That’s Always Ready
We’re an established agency with 28 team members, and every key role is covered by at least one other person — which means that if someone is unexpectedly off sick, on leave, or tied up, there’s always someone else available to pick things up. Your project won’t stall, and you won’t be left waiting or wondering what’s happening. That kind of built-in cover is essential for delivering a reliable service, especially when deadlines are tight or ongoing support is required. We’ve also been doing this for over 25 years, and in that time we’ve supported a number of clients through transitions just like this — including taking over websites, hosting, and maintenance when a previous developer or agency has sadly passed away. So we not only have the technical skills, but the understanding and sensitivity to handle the situation professionally and with care.
