What I do

Support & Recovery

Hacked, broken or abandoned sites restored, hardened and monitored, so it doesn’t happen twice.

Malware removal

Clean-up, root-cause fix and a report you can give to your client.

Hardening

Access control, update policy and monitoring that stays in place.

Performance & uptime

Diagnosis and fixes for slow, flaky or failing sites.

Ongoing retainers

Monthly care: updates, backups, monitoring and a person to call.

In depth

Website support when you need it most.

Hacked or broken? Start here

If your site has been hacked, is throwing errors or has gone down, I’ll get it back online, find out how it happened and close the hole so it doesn’t happen again. You’ll get a plain-English explanation of what went wrong and what was fixed - useful if you need to report it to a client.

Recovery, then hardening

Cleaning up malware is only half the job. I update or replace vulnerable plugins and themes, tighten user accounts and file permissions, put proper backups in place and set up monitoring, so you hear about small problems before they become big ones.

Slow sites, fixed

A slow site loses visitors and rankings. I find what’s actually causing it - heavy plugins, unoptimised images, slow database queries or poor hosting - and fix the cause, rather than bolting on another caching plugin.

Sites someone else built

Most support work is on sites I didn’t build. Whether the original developer has moved on or the agency behind it has closed, I’ll get to know the codebase, document how it works and become the person you can call.

Ongoing care plans

Once your site is healthy, a monthly care plan keeps it that way: hosting, updates, backups, uptime and security monitoring, and a direct line to a senior developer when you need something changed.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How fast can you respond?

Urgent recoveries usually start the same day. Email with “urgent” in the subject.

Do you offer retainers?

Yes. Monthly plans with updates, backups, monitoring and a direct line to me.

Can you support a site you didn’t build?

Yes. Most support work is on sites built by someone else.

Will it happen again?

Not if hardening and monitoring stay in place. That’s part of every recovery.

Do you only support WordPress?

WordPress and WooCommerce make up most of it, but I also support custom PHP applications.

What do you need from me to get started?

Access to the site and hosting, plus a short description of what’s wrong. If you’ve lost access, I can help you get it back.

Can you move my site to better hosting?

Yes. I’ll migrate your site onto hosting I manage, with everything checked before the switch so there’s no downtime.

Can you help if the site is completely down?

Yes. As long as there’s a backup or access to the server, there’s almost always a way back.

Something broken that nobody can fix?

Tell me what you’re working on. I’ll tell you straight whether I’m the right person for it.
