Website Repair — Calm Help When Something’s Broken

When a website breaks, the stress usually arrives before the diagnosis.

Pages won’t load.
Forms stop sending.
Errors appear out of nowhere.
Or the site just… doesn’t feel right anymore.

Website repair isn’t about rushing changes or guessing fixes. It’s about finding what’s wrong and stabilising the site without making the situation worse.

That’s what I do.

When You Might Need Website Repair

You don’t need to know the technical cause. Most people don’t — and shouldn’t have to.

  • Your website is down or showing errors
  • Parts of the site no longer work properly
  • Updates caused unexpected issues
  • The site feels slow, unstable, or unreliable
  • Security warnings appeared
  • A previous fix didn’t hold
  • You’re worried about making it worse

If something is broken and you need help you can trust, this is the right place to start.

What Website Repair Actually Involves

Every site is different, but proper repair always starts the same way: diagnosis before action.

Depending on the issue, repair may involve:

  • Identifying software or configuration problems
  • Resolving update or compatibility issues
  • Fixing broken layouts or functionality
  • Restoring access after lockouts
  • Cleaning up security or malware issues
  • Repairing database or server-level problems
  • Stabilising hosting or environment issues

The goal isn’t just to get the site online again. It’s to make it safe, predictable, and usable.

How I Approach Website Repair

My approach is deliberately calm and methodical:

1

Understand What’s Happening

What changed, what failed, and what’s at risk.

2

Stabilise the Site

Stop errors, outages, or security issues from escalating.

3

Fix The Underlying Problem

Not a workaround. Not a guess. A problem is a problem until remedied.

4

Test Properly

Key pages, forms, admin access, and functionality.

5

Leave The Site in a Better State

More stable than it was before the issue appeared.

If repair isn’t the right solution, I’ll explain why — clearly and honestly.

Repair vs Rebuild (And Why This Matters)

A rebuild replaces a site.
Repair restores stability.

I don’t default to rebuilds when a site can be fixed. Many problems that look serious are repairable with the right approach.

If a rebuild is genuinely the better option, you’ll understand the reason and the trade-offs — without pressure.

  • Most WordPress issues are fixable.
  • Rebuilds are disruptive.
  • Rebuilds hide root causes rather than address them.

If your site is WordPress-based and you’re looking for a more specific service, you may want to read:

Why Work With Me?

  • Senior, hands-on experience
  • Calm, careful approach
  • No rushed fixes
  • No guesswork
  • No outsourcing
  • Clear explanations in plain English

I’m often called in after things have already gone wrong — and the priority is always to make it safe first.

What Happens Next

If your website is broken right now:

  • Just explain what’s happening (or what changed)
  • I investigate properly
  • I will fix the issue at the source with the safest, most sensible fix

No obligation. No pressure.
