Website fixes and rescue

Website Repair, Fixes and Rescue

Broken, slow, hacked or half-finished? Let's take a look.

Maybe a plugin update broke your layout, your contact form has stopped sending, the site has been hacked or your previous developer has gone quiet halfway through. Maybe you built it yourself, or with an AI tool, and now you're stuck. Whatever the story, our website repair service is here to help. We find out what's wrong, explain it in plain English and fix it, without judgement and without pushing you into a whole new website you don't need.

What is it

What does website repair and rescue involve?

Every rescue starts with getting the right access: your hosting, domain, website login and any backups. Then we diagnose the problem properly rather than patching symptoms. Common website fixes include broken pages and forms, error messages, outdated plugins and themes, slow loading, display problems on mobile, lost access to accounts and sites that have been hacked or flagged as unsafe.

Small jobs are usually sorted in a single fix session, charged on time. Bigger rescues, such as finishing an abandoned build, start with a clear plan and an estimate. Because the work is time based, the final invoice reflects the time it actually takes, and we'll tell you early if that looks like changing. If you're not sure how deep the problem goes, a website audit gives you the full picture.

Website fixes

Problems we can help you fix

Broken sites & errors

White screens, error messages, broken layouts, forms that don't send and pages that have vanished after an update.

Slow websites

Oversized images, too many plugins and poor hosting tracked down and fixed, so pages load quickly for visitors and search engines.

Hacked sites

Assessed case by case: we work to clean up malware, secure access and update software, with sensible protection to make a repeat attack less likely. Results can't be guaranteed.

Abandoned projects

Previous developer disappeared? We help you recover access, review what was built and finish the job properly.

DIY & AI-built sites

Built it yourself or with an AI tool and hit a wall? We untangle the problem and show you how to keep things running.

Hosting, domain & email

Expired domains, lost logins, email that won't send and hosting problems sorted, with everything back in your name.

Why work with us

Website fixes from people who'd rather repair than replace

We're a small, independent team who build and look after websites every day, mostly on WordPress and Shopify. That means we've seen most of the ways a site can go wrong. If yours runs on WordPress, our WordPress website support covers the updates and checks that prevent many problems in the first place.

We're also honest about scope. If a site can be repaired, we'll repair it. If it's built on something we can't sensibly support, or a fix would cost more than a rebuild, we'll tell you straight. And once it's working, our website support and website hosting can keep it that way.

QUESTIONS

Website repair and rescue FAQs

Straight answers for when your website isn't doing what it should.

How much does website repair cost?

Website repair is charged on time, so any price we give is an estimate. Smaller fixes are usually handled in a fix session (1 hour £125 or 3 hours £345 ex VAT). Larger rescues get an estimate up front. If a job takes longer than expected, we'll keep you informed and the final invoice will reflect the actual time spent.

What can you fix in a fix session?

Typical fix session jobs include broken forms, layout problems, error messages, plugin or theme conflicts, small speed improvements and content changes you can't work out how to make. If we find something bigger along the way, we'll stop, explain it and agree the next step with you before going further. See our fix session for details.

My website has been hacked. What should I do?

Change your website, hosting and email passwords, then get in touch as soon as you can. Don't delete files at random, as that can make the clean-up harder. Every hack is different, so we look at each one case by case. We'll do our best to clean the site and close the gap that let the attacker in, but we can never guarantee the outcome.

Can you fix a website built by another developer?

Usually, yes. The key is getting access to your hosting, domain and website login. If your previous developer has gone quiet, we can help you work out who holds what and recover access where possible. We'll then review the build honestly and tell you whether it makes sense to repair, finish or rebuild it.

I built my website myself or with an AI tool. Can you help?

Absolutely, and there's no judgement. Lots of sites start that way and get stuck at the tricky bits: forms, domains, email, speed or getting found on Google. We'll fix what's broken, explain what we changed and show you how to look after it, so you stay in control of your own site.

Which platforms do you work on?

Most of our website repair work is on WordPress and Shopify, and we are happy to look at other platforms and site builders too. Tell us what your site is built on when you get in touch. If it's something we can't support properly, we'll say so rather than take your money.

How quickly can you fix my website?

We aim to reply to every enquiry within one business day. Once we have access, many small fixes can be done in a single session. More involved problems take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeframe after we've diagnosed the cause.

How do I stop the same problems happening again?

Most problems come from missed updates, weak passwords, no backups or unreliable hosting. Our website support keeps your site updated and backed up, our website hosting gives it a solid home, and our free website security checklist helps you spot gaps yourself.
