What does Website Rescue include?

Website Rescue is a project-based engagement that covers cleanup, bug fixes, performance improvements, security hardening, and getting your site stable and running properly again. The exact scope depends on what your site needs.

How much does Website Rescue cost?

Rescue projects are priced between $2,500 and $8,000 depending on the complexity and amount of work involved.

How long does a Website Rescue project take?

Most Rescue projects are completed within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the scope and what needs to be fixed.

What if I don't know what's wrong with my site?

That's fine. A Website Health Check is a good starting point — it gives a clear picture of the problems before we define the scope of a Rescue project.

What happens after the Rescue project is finished?

You'll have a stable, functional website. Many clients choose to continue with an ongoing Website Care plan to keep things running smoothly and avoid the same issues recurring.

Website Rescue | Fix Your Broken or Struggling Website

Is your website giving you headaches?

Your website has accumulated problems over time.

Maybe it was built quickly and corners were cut. Maybe you've had multiple people work on it without coordination. Maybe the person who built it is gone and no one really understands how it works anymore.

Now you're dealing with the consequences:

Things break when you try to update

The site is slower than it should be

You're worried about security but don't know where to start

There's no documentation of how anything works

Small problems keep piling up

You've got a nagging feeling it could all fall apart

You know it needs proper attention. You just need someone to take charge and fix it right.

Website Rescue: A fresh start without starting over

Website Rescue is a structured project to clean up your existing website, so you can stop managing chaos and start with a site that actually works properly.

I don't just slap band-aids on symptoms. I find the root causes: outdated plugins, messy code, security holes, performance bottlenecks. I fix what needs fixing, update what's outdated, and document everything so you (or whoever works on it next) understand how the site works.

When we're done, you'll have a website you can trust. One that's stable, faster, and ready for ongoing maintenance.

What I'll Do

A structured cleanup to get your site back on track

Update & Clean Up

Update WordPress, plugins, and themes to current versions. Remove what's abandoned or causing problems. Consolidate redundant plugins.

Speed Things Up

Optimize images, set up caching, clean up the database, and fix whatever's making your site slow. Your visitors will notice the difference.

Fix Security Holes

Patch vulnerabilities, set up proper security measures, verify backups are working, and make sure your site isn't an easy target.

Sort Out Hosting

Check your hosting setup, update PHP versions, fix configuration issues. If you need better hosting, I'll recommend options and help with migration.

Document Everything

Create clear documentation of how your site works: login credentials, how things are set up, what to do if something goes wrong. No more mystery.

What You'll Walk Away With

A website you can finally trust

A stable website that actually works
Faster page loads for your visitors
Better security and working backups
Documentation so you understand how things work
Confidence to make changes without fear

Who This Is For

I work best with:

Business owners with a backlog of known problems
You know the site is struggling, you just haven't had anyone reliable to tackle it properly.
Anyone who inherited a messy site
Built by multiple developers with no coordination, or handed over without documentation. I untangle these regularly.
Site owners scared to touch anything
If every update feels like playing with fire, that's a sign the foundation needs proper attention.

If you want a fresh start without starting over, a Website Rescue is the right project.

This probably isn't for you if:

Your site is beyond saving
If the site has deep structural problems that can't be fixed through cleanup, I'll tell you honestly. Sometimes a rebuild makes more sense.
You only need one specific thing fixed
If you have one isolated bug, that's a smaller job. A Rescue project is for sites with multiple overlapping issues.
You want a visual redesign
I focus on technical health: stability, speed, security. If you want a new look without fixing the underlying issues, we'd need to discuss scope.

I'm direct about what a project can and can't achieve. No empty promises.

1

Tell Me What's Going On

Fill out the contact form or schedule a call. Describe the symptoms: what breaks, what's slow, what you're worried about.

2

I Assess the Situation

Usually starting with a Health Check (if you haven't had one), I document the full scope before we agree on deliverables or pricing.

3

We Agree on a Plan

You get a clear scope of work and fixed price. No surprises. I don't start until you're comfortable with what's included.

I Fix It and Hand It Over

I do the work on a staging environment, test everything, then deploy carefully. You get documentation of everything that changed.

Why Work With Me

What you can expect from a Website Rescue project

Root causes, not band-aids

I don't patch symptoms. I find why things are broken and fix the underlying issues so they don't come back.

Careful, tested approach

I work on a staging copy first and test thoroughly before touching your live site. The goal is to fix problems, not create new ones.

Clear scope upfront

You know exactly what's included and what it costs before I start. No scope creep, no surprise invoices.

Everything documented

When I'm done, you have a clear record of what was done, how your site works, and what to do if something comes up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Should I get a Health Check first?

Usually, yes. The Health Check shows exactly what needs attention, which helps me give you an accurate quote. If you already have documentation of the problems, we can discuss skipping it.

What if my site is beyond saving?

If your site has fundamental problems that can't be fixed through cleanup alone, I'll tell you honestly. Sometimes starting fresh is more cost-effective than endless patching. We can discuss options.

Will this break my live site?

I take a careful approach. I work on a copy of your site first, test everything thoroughly, and deploy changes incrementally. The goal is to fix problems, not create new ones.

What happens after the rescue is complete?

I recommend moving to an ongoing care plan. A rescued site still needs regular maintenance: updates, monitoring, and attention. Without ongoing care, problems tend to pile up again over time.

Can you fix a site someone else built?

Yes, this is common. I'll need access to review the site, but I regularly work with websites built by other developers. WordPress and Laravel sites are my specialty.

What if I'm not happy with the results?

We agree on specific deliverables upfront. If I don't deliver what was promised, we'll make it right. I'm not interested in leaving clients with unfinished work.

Ready to stop fighting with your website?

Tell me what's going on and I'll get back to you within 24 hours. We'll figure out if a rescue project is the right approach for your situation.
