We Can Manage Your Existing Site Too

You don't need a rebuild to get your website looked after. Taking over a site somebody else built is normal — it just starts with an honest look at what's there.

The common situation

A site was built a few years ago. It works. The person who built it has moved on, isn't responding, or was never really available. Nobody has updated it since, and nobody's sure who has access to what.

That's not unusual, and it doesn't require starting over.

What gets checked first

  • Where it's hosted and who has the login
  • Who the domain is registered to — the one that causes real problems, covered in domain transfer
  • What it's built with and whether that's still supported
  • Whether backups exist and have ever been restored
  • Whether forms actually deliver — tested, not assumed
  • How fast it is on a phone, not a desktop
  • What's ranking, so nothing valuable gets broken by accident

That check usually surfaces at least one thing the owner didn't know about. Most often it's the forms.

When management is the wrong answer

Some sites aren't worth maintaining. Built on abandoned software with no security updates. So slow structurally that no amount of attention helps. Locked to a proprietary platform that can't be moved or meaningfully changed.

Paying monthly to keep something like that upright is worse value than replacing it. That's a judgment worth making honestly at the start rather than billing around for a year.

What taking it over includes

  • Getting access sorted and documented, in your name
  • Fixing whatever the initial check found
  • Content updates when the business changes
  • Software and security updates
  • Backups that run automatically and get tested
  • Someone to contact when something looks wrong

The ongoing side of that is ongoing updates and edits.

Improving without rebuilding

Often the problems are specific and much cheaper to fix than replacing everything:

  • Oversized images making it slow — see speed optimization
  • A phone number that isn't tappable on mobile
  • Content that no longer describes the business
  • Missing pages for services you actually offer
  • Analytics that were never configured to track anything useful — see analytics and reporting

Being told honestly which category your site falls into saves more money than any discount.
