“The site keeps going down.”
We check server limits, PHP errors, database behaviour, plugins, caching and traffic patterns to narrow down the failure.
Website Rescue
Inherited a website
nobody wants to touch?
You do not need to start again just because the current site is awkward, unstable or poorly documented. We can investigate the problem, explain what is worth keeping and help you get control back.
COMMON RESCUE JOBSSlow. Broken. Outdated. Unowned.
- WordPress 503 / 504 errors
- Plugin and theme conflicts
- Old PHP or server setup
- Forms and email delivery failing
- Magento or custom code issues
- Hosting migrations and DNS
You do not have to know the cause
Tell us the symptom.
We will trace the problem.
Most businesses only know that the site is slow, unreliable or difficult to change. That is enough to start an investigation.
“Updates break things.”
We identify fragile dependencies, outdated code and plugin conflicts before making changes in a safer order.
“The previous developer vanished.”
We document what is there, secure access and create a realistic plan for support rather than expecting you to explain the codebase.
“The admin is painfully slow.”
We look at hosting, PHP, database queries, background tasks, media, plugins and theme behaviour rather than guessing.
“We need a change but nobody wants to touch it.”
We can isolate the work, test the risk and tell you whether a focused fix is sensible or the foundations have become the bigger problem.
“We are worried about security.”
We can review updates, access, backups, server configuration and the practical risks around an older site.
How Website Rescue works
Investigate first.
Recommend second.
We do not start by selling you a rebuild. The first job is understanding what is wrong and what outcome you need.
Send the problem
Share the live URL, what is happening and anything that changed recently.
We investigate
We review the public site and, where access is provided, the hosting, logs, code or admin area.
You get a clear next step
Fix it, stabilise it, support it, or rebuild only where that is genuinely the better route.
Keep us involved if useful
Website care starts from £375/year, with ongoing development available when you need more.

Tell us what is going wrong.
You do not need to diagnose it yourself. A clear description of the symptom is enough to start.
