How is this different from just hiring someone to fix a bug?
A rescue starts with a written audit — you know exactly what's wrong and what the priority order is, before a dollar is spent on fixes. No guessing, no scope creep.
What if the audit shows we need a full rebuild?
We'll tell you honestly. If a rebuild is the right call, you get a detailed proposal based on the audit findings — not a guess quote.
What platforms do you rescue?
WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, legacy custom builds. We can't rescue sites locked inside proprietary enterprise CMSs we can't access.
How fast can you actually start?
Audits start within 3–5 business days of payment. If urgency is critical — a site that's actively down or a launch deadline — mention it in the intake and we'll do our best to prioritize.
What if I've lost access to my site, hosting, or domain?
Very common. We'll walk you through recovering access from any registrar, host, or CMS. Between ICANN rules, host account recovery, and CMS admin resets, we've gotten into everything short of a completely nuked server.
What if the audit uncovers something bigger than expected?
The report will flag it clearly with context. You decide what to do next — whether that's a sprint with us, a full rebuild quote, or taking the report to another developer. No pressure, no inflated scope to justify the audit fee.
Do you handle ongoing maintenance after the rescue?
Yes — we offer a lightweight Care Plan retainer for clients who want ongoing eyes on their site. A lot of rescue clients add it after the sprint. There's no commitment to do so.
Is my site too old, too custom, or too broken for this?
Probably not. The audit phase exists specifically to figure that out before any sprint money is committed. We've reviewed sites built on decade-old WordPress installs, half-finished custom builds, and template hacks held together with prayers. If it can be rescued, the audit will tell you how. If it can't, you'll hear that too.
