20+ years of experience
We’ve seen almost every way a project can go wrong.
Project rescue
Developer gone? Project stuck? We’ll finish it.
Missed deadlines, half-built features, code nobody understands, a developer who stopped replying. We take over stalled and troubled web projects, tell you honestly what can be saved, and get them finished at a fixed price.
You’re not the first
“Working with David is just great. Understands easily the assignment, delivers quality projects, makes pro-active suggestions and is definitely willing to go the extra mile”
Sound familiar?
Common situations we take on.
-
The developer or agency disappeared mid-project
-
The project is months late with no end in sight
-
It “works,” but it’s fragile. Every fix breaks something else
-
Nobody understands the code, and there’s no documentation
-
You’ve paid for features that don’t work properly
-
It’s stuck on old versions of Laravel, PHP or WordPress and can’t be updated
How a rescue works
From troubled to finished.
-
01
Fixed-price code audit
We start with a paid audit at a fixed price, agreed up front. We get access to your code, server and any documentation, and review what’s really there: what works, what doesn’t, security issues and code quality.
-
02
Honest recommendation
You get a written report that explains what we found in plain language. Sometimes the best option is to fix and finish. Sometimes rebuilding parts is faster and cheaper in the long run. We’ll tell you which, and why.
-
03
Fixed-price plan
You get a written scope and a fixed price to stabilise and finish the project. No open-ended hourly billing on code nobody fully understands yet.
-
04
Stabilise, then finish
We fix the urgent issues first, then complete the remaining work, with weekly updates and a private staging link so you can see real progress.
-
05
Hand back something solid
Clean, documented code that you own completely, plus one week of post-launch support. After that, we offer ongoing support and maintenance.
What we can take over:
- Laravel and PHP applications
- React front ends
- WordPress sites, themes and plugins
- WooCommerce stores
- API integrations

What do you need from me to get started?
Access to the code (a repository or files), the hosting/server, and any documentation or notes. Don’t worry if things are missing; working that out is part of the audit.
-
Why is the audit paid?
A proper audit takes real time with your code, and it gives you a clear report you can use whatever you decide next, even if you don’t continue with us. It’s a fixed price, agreed before we start.
-
Can you take over hosting too?
Yes. We can work with your current host, help you move, or, for select clients, provide specialised hosting managed by us.
Managed hosting -
Can you work with my previous developer’s code?
Yes. Taking over other people’s code is exactly what this service is for.
-
What if the code is too far gone?
We’ll say so honestly and explain your options, including partial or full rebuilds, with fixed prices for each.
-
How quickly can you start?
Rescue projects are often urgent. Tell us your timeline and we’ll give you a realistic start date when we reply, within one business day.
-
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, if needed.
Let’s get your project finished.
