Website upgrades and maintenance

Website upgrade services

We fix, speed up and extend your site on any CMS and any technology

Sound familiar? The site is slow, the form does not send, conversion is poor, the developer has disappeared, access to hosting is lost, an integration is needed, there are few leads.

Task analysis and a preliminary estimate are free

How we work

Price and timeline before work starts. Changes on a copy of your site.

01An estimate before any work starts

You describe the task, a manager reviews it and gives a timeline and a price. Analysis and a preliminary estimate are free. If we need access to your site for the review, we first sign a preliminary agreement.

  1. RequestDescribe the task and send the site address
  2. ReviewWe look at the site and the code and ask for access if needed
  3. EstimateWe name the timeline and the price of the task
  4. StartWe begin only after you agree

02Changes on a copy of your site

While we work, your live site does not change: we edit a copy and test it. Before going live we make a backup, and after the release we can restore the previous version. Tools (git, branches, a test server) are adapted to your project.

Changes are on the copy. Your site works as before.

03Warranty on our changes

If something stops working after our change, we fix it at no extra charge. The warranty period and terms are written into the contract.

  • Every step is logged and backed up
  • The code and access stay with you
  • You can move to another contractor at any time

What brings people to us

What happened to your site?

The site is slow

What we do

  • We measure speed and find what slows it down: images, scripts, the server, the database
  • We remove the excess, set up caching and compression, and optimize queries
  • We measure again and show the result before and after

What stays as it is: Design, content and page addresses

Broke after an update

What we do

  • We find out what exactly was updated: the CMS, PHP, a plugin or a theme
  • We get the site working again and, if needed, test rolling the update back on a copy
  • We pin the versions and the update order so it does not break next time

What stays as it is: Data, orders and site content

The form does not send

What we do

  • We check the form, the mail, the spam protection and the CRM integration
  • We fix the sending and add an alert in case a request does not arrive
  • We test on all devices and with different mail providers

What stays as it is: The look of the form and all past requests

The developer has disappeared

What we do

  • We study the code someone else wrote and record the state: a snapshot of the site and a risk map
  • We restore access together with you and set up backups
  • After that we develop the site in small tasks with a clear price

What stays as it is: Everything that already works

Lost access to hosting or the domain

What we do

  • We help find out where the domain and hosting are registered and who owns them
  • We explain how to get access back and what we need from you
  • We make a backup and record the access details so that you hold them

What stays as it is: The site address and its content

A feature or integration is needed

What we do

  • We clarify the task: payments, CRM, a personal account, a calculator, data exchange over an API
  • We build it on a copy of the site, test it and connect it
  • We document how it works and what to do if something changes

What stays as it is: The rest of the site, unchanged

Redo part of the design

What we do

  • We find the pages and blocks that need updating, including the mobile version
  • We change only those, without rebuilding the whole site
  • We agree on mockups before coding starts

What stays as it is: Structure, addresses and the other pages

Move without a rebuild

What we do

  • We check what has to be moved: files, databases, mail, settings
  • We move it to a new host or platform and set up redirects
  • We test the site after the move and watch search positions

What stays as it is: Page addresses, content and positions

Errors that hurt search

What we do

  • We find technical errors: duplicates, redirects, markup, speed
  • We fix them in the site code, not just compile a list
  • We check indexing after the changes. Site promotion is a separate service: SEO promotion

What stays as it is: Texts, structure and addresses

Analytics is needed

What we do

  • We look at which counters and goals are already installed and which of them work
  • We set up Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica through GTM: goals, events, cookie consent
  • We check that requests and calls show up in the reports

What stays as it is: Data already collected

Choosing a path

Fix, upgrade or rewrite

Fix

Something broke or works wrongly. One clear change is needed. Example: the form does not send, an error after an update.

Upgrade

The site is mostly fine, but you need to add or improve something: features, integrations, some pages, speed.

Rewrite

The foundation is outdated and the site cannot be developed further. A new design, structure or platform is needed. This is development from scratch.

We will suggest which path fits you

Does the site mostly work and bring in leads?
Do you need a whole new design and structure?
Are the platform and code still being updated?
What needs to change?
Answer four questions and we will show a rough direction.

This is a rough guide. We give the exact conclusion after reviewing your site, and the review is free.

Not sure what you need? Start with a review

We look at the site and draw up a plan of improvements: what to fix, what to improve, what to leave alone. The preliminary review is free. A deeper review may need access and a preliminary agreement.

What we check

  • Code and versions of the CMS, PHP and plugins
  • Speed and errors on the page
  • Security and backups
  • Technical risks for search

What you get

  • A prioritized task list
  • The timeline and price of each task
  • A clear order: where to start

What we need from you

  • The site address and a description of what worries you
  • Access, if the review needs it

Any platform, any language, any age of code

We work with modern platforms and with very old, outdated technologies. The list is not exhaustive.

Someone else's code with no documentation

Someone else built the site, there is no description and the developer is not available. This is a common situation, and we start with a review.

  1. We read the codeWe record the state: a snapshot of the site and a risk map
  2. We set up a copyWe check that the site starts and runs separately from the live one
  3. We close the risksBackups, access, obvious vulnerabilities
  4. We document itHow the site is built and what to do with it next

What it costs

$30 per hour

  • Minimum charge is 0.5 hours: we take a 30-minute task too
  • Task analysis and a preliminary estimate are free
  • Payment by bank transfer

4 h$120

Calculated at the hourly rate. A manager estimates your actual task for free.

Speed and search

Faster, with positions kept

Optimization example

41 Speed
72 Accessibility
78 SEO
  • Main content load time5,8 s
  • Page weight6,2 MB
  • Server requests148

Drag the slider and compare

The numbers show what a before-and-after report looks like. This is an example, not a specific client's data.

How not to lose search positions

Speed-ups and changes must not drop your rankings. So before the release and after it we check the same things.

  • We keep page addresses, and if we change them we set up permanent redirects
  • Titles, descriptions and page structure stay as they are
  • We compare indexing and the sitemap before the release and after it
  • After the release we watch positions and errors in Search Console and webmaster tools
  • If something drops, we fix it or restore the previous version
Site promotion: SEO

Security and results

The work is safe and you accept the result

How we protect your site

This is how we usually work. Every project is unique, so we adapt the steps and their order to your site.

  1. Detailed specificationWe write a detailed technical specification: what we do and how we check the result
  2. BackupWe save the site and the database before the first change
  3. AccessYou pass it over a secure channel, through a separate account with minimal rights
  4. Copy and versionsWe work on a copy. Git, branches and a test server are adapted to your project
  5. TestingWe test the changes before the release
  6. ReleaseWe agree the time in advance. The previous version is saved, so a rollback is possible
  7. HandoverWe do not store your passwords. You change them when the work is done. Change log: optional

Acceptance: tick what you have checked

The work is closed when you accept it. This is what we check together with you.

What you get at the end

  • Working featuresEverything you ordered works as described in the specification
  • Change log (optional)What was changed, where and why
  • Instructions (optional)How to use the new features of the site
  • Training (optional)We show your team how to work with the site

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

How much does an upgrade cost?

The rate is $30 per hour, with a minimum charge of 0.5 hours. We name the price of the task before work starts, after a free review.

Is the estimate really free?

Task analysis and a preliminary estimate are free, as agreed with a manager. If we need access to the site for the review, we first sign a preliminary agreement.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer. The payment terms and the currency are written into the contract.

Can I order a very small task?

Yes. The minimum charge is 0.5 hours, so we take a 30-minute task too.

Can the work be done in parts?

Yes. We split a large upgrade into stages, each with its own timeline and price. You can start with one task or with a site review.

Will you break my site?

We work on a copy. Before the release we make a backup and can restore the previous version.

What do you need from me?

A description of the task and the site address. Access is needed if we cannot work without it. You pass it over a secure channel, through a separate account with minimal rights.

Is it safe to give you access?

We do not store your passwords. You change them when the work is done.

How does the work go?

A detailed specification, a backup, work on a copy, testing, a release that can be rolled back, and handover. Every step is logged and backed up.

Who accepts the work?

You do. Acceptance follows the specification: we check browsers, the mobile version, forms, speed, page addresses and redirects.

What is the warranty on changes?

If something stops working after our change, we fix it at no extra charge. The warranty period and terms are written into the contract.

Who owns the code?

The code and access stay with you. You can move to another contractor at any time.

Will I lose my search positions?

We keep page addresses, and if we change them we set up permanent redirects. Titles and structure stay, and we compare indexing before the release and after it.

What technologies do you work with?

Any: from modern platforms to very old and outdated ones. The list in the “What we work with” block is not exhaustive.

Will you take on someone else's code with no documentation?

Yes. We start with a review: we record the state of the site, set up a copy, close the risks and describe how everything is built.

Does a site always need to be rewritten from scratch?

No. A fix or a part-by-part upgrade is often enough. If the foundation is outdated, we will say so plainly and suggest development from scratch.

When do you work and how fast do you reply?

We work Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 London time. We process requests within 2 hours during business hours.

Do you take urgent tasks?

Yes, right away: the site does not open, the form does not work, viruses, a hack. An urgent task is $45 per hour with a reply within 2 hours during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9:00 to 18:00 London time). Outside business hours the rate is twice the regular one, $60 per hour.

Is there support after the work?

Yes: one-off changes, an hours subscription and support with an agreed response time. The domain and hosting are registered in your name, and we set up and check backups.

Where do you work?

Worldwide. We talk on Telegram, WhatsApp, by phone and through the form.

How do I start?

Press “Get a free estimate”, describe the task and send the site address. A manager will contact you and name the timeline and price.

If you leave it as is

What happens if nothing changes

A slow site loses visitors

Page speed affects how visitors and search engines see the site.

An outdated CMS is vulnerable

Old versions of the CMS, PHP and plugins remain the main way in for hackers: their vulnerabilities are known.

A broken form stays silent

Requests vanish without a sound, and you find out when the clients are already lost.

No developer around

When something breaks there is nobody to call, and the access is lost.

What one more month costs

Lost in a month0

The calculation uses your assumptions: the exact losses can only be found after a review of the site.

Three paths side by side

Leave it as is

Cost: none right now

Risk: grows over time

Fits if the site works and nothing is needed

Upgrade in parts

Cost: by the hour and only for what is needed

Risk: low, everything is on a copy

Fits if the foundation of the site is alive

Rewrite from scratch

Cost: the highest

Risk: a large project

Fits if the foundation is outdated
