Gatsby Website Support and Maintenance

Gatsby is a React-based static site generator that produces fast, pre-rendered websites from a wide range of data sources — headless CMS platforms, APIs, markdown files and more. It is an excellent choice for content-heavy marketing sites, blogs and documentation, but the GraphQL data layer, plugin ecosystem and build pipeline all need proper attention over time.

Xpose provides Gatsby support and maintenance for businesses across the UK. We keep your Gatsby site building cleanly, your plugins up to date and your CMS integrations working, so your content team can publish without worrying about the technical foundations underneath.

What Gatsby maintenance covers

Gatsby sites depend on a plugin ecosystem that moves at its own pace. When Gatsby itself updates, plugins that bridge your CMS, image processing pipeline or search integration may lag behind and break the build. We monitor the dependency graph, test updates in isolation and apply them carefully so your site keeps building without unexpected failures.

Build performance is another area that needs ongoing attention. Gatsby build times can grow substantially as a site accumulates content, and slow builds mean slower publishing cycles for your team. We profile and optimise builds, configure incremental builds where available, and keep build times reasonable as the site grows.

Common Gatsby problems we fix

The most common Gatsby issues we handle are broken builds after a plugin or Node version change, GraphQL schema errors that appear when a CMS content model is updated, and image processing failures in gatsby-plugin-image or its predecessor gatsby-image. These are fiddly to diagnose without knowing the framework, and we fix them properly.

CMS integration issues are also frequent — the Gatsby source plugin for Contentful, Sanity, WordPress or another headless CMS stops pulling data correctly after a schema change or API update. We maintain these integrations so your editors can publish content without needing to involve a developer every time something drifts.

Ongoing Gatsby support from Xpose

Our Gatsby support service covers plugin and dependency updates, build pipeline monitoring, CMS integration maintenance, performance reviews and hands-on fixes when the build or site breaks. We provide this as a managed service or on a retained basis, depending on how your site is run.

We are a Norwich-based web agency with experience across the Gatsby and React ecosystems. If your Gatsby site was built by a freelancer or agency that is no longer available, we are happy to review the codebase, understand how it is set up and become your reliable ongoing support contact.
