The developer disappeared
Whoever built the site no longer replies or has left the market. The site works, but nothing in it can be changed.
// Services
Changes to a website someone else built
We take over someone else's project as it is: fix bugs, add features, work through unfamiliar code. The estimate is free, and we can start the same day you get in touch.
- Task estimate — free, within 2–4 hours
- From $40/hour, minimum order — 2 hours
- A backup before every change
This is for you if
Something broke
After an update the form stopped working, the layout fell apart, products vanished, or the site does not open at all.
You need a new feature
Card payments, a catalogue filter, one more language, a CRM integration — and there is nobody to do it.
You are afraid to touch anything
The site brings in enquiries, and every change looks like a risk of breaking everything. No backup, no test copy, no guarantees.
You are told to rebuild everything
You came with two small changes and were quoted a new website for several thousand dollars.
No access
The hosting or admin passwords are lost, there is no documentation, and nobody knows where anything is.
Breakdowns and bugs — from 2 hours
The site does not open
Error 500, white screen, endless loading.
Enquiries are not sent
The form stays silent or the e-mails never arrive.
The layout fell apart
After a theme or plugin update the page came undone.
Products or images vanished
Categories are empty, pictures do not load.
The cart or the payment does not work
Including delivery calculation and shipping documents.
New features — from 1 day
Online payment
LiqPay, WayForPay, Stripe.
Integration with a CRM, 1C or inventory system
Exchange of orders, stock levels, prices.
Filters, search, price calculator
So the customer finds and calculates on their own.
Client portal or a members-only section
With roles and access rights.
A second language on the site
With correct markup for search engines.
Content and layout — from 1 hour
New pages and blocks
From your mockup or in the style of the existing site.
Edits to texts, prices, images
Precisely, without the risk of touching what is next to it.
Adaptation for phones and tablets
So the site does not fall apart on a narrow screen.
Replacing fonts, colours, the logo
Refreshing the identity without rebuilding the site.
Contact forms and pop-ups
With spam protection and notifications.
Updates and security — from 3 hours
Updating the CMS, theme and plugins
On a test copy, with nothing breaking on the live site.
Recovery after a hack
Removing malware and foreign files, finding the entry point.
Closing vulnerabilities
Protecting the admin area and forms from brute force.
Setting up backups
With a check that the copy can actually be restored.
Moving to another host
Together with the domain and SSL, with no downtime.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, that is the main part of this service. First we look at the state of the code and the access, and tell you honestly what can be fixed precisely and where fixing costs more than rebuilding. If rebuilding is not worth it for you, we will say so.
Nothing. You describe the task, we look at the site and within 2–4 hours tell you roughly how long the work will take. If the task turns out to be more complex than it looked, we tell you before we start, not after.
We make a backup before every change, and do serious changes on a test copy rather than on the live site. If something stops working after our change, we restore it as it was and fix it on our own time.
A common situation. Access to the hosting is usually restored through the domain registrar or the host's support desk with the owner's documents — we will tell you exactly what to ask for. The admin password can in most cases be reset from the server side.
WordPress and WooCommerce, OpenCart, Laravel, Next.js, plain hand-coded sites without a CMS, custom PHP systems. If yours is not on the list, write anyway: in most cases it is possible to make sense of it, and if not, we will say so right away.
To the nearest 15 minutes, and the report shows what every hour went on. The time includes not only the change itself but also checking the result and the backup — these are not billed separately.
The minimum stays at two hours: even a short change requires making sense of someone else's code, making a backup and checking the result. If there are several small tasks, it is cheaper to combine them into one request or take a package of hours.
