Rebuilds for the site nobody wants to touch
Hand-built sites, old custom systems and outdated platforms like Joomla and Drupal, rebuilt on WordPress or a static build you own.
Why old sites need rebuilding
An old site can keep ranking long after it gets hard to change. A rebuild keeps the rankings and drops the risk.
No more security fixes
Older versions of Joomla, Drupal and custom systems that nobody patches.
One person knows it
A site only its original developer understands.
Hard to edit
Simple changes that need a developer, or files edited by hand.
Old hosting
Servers and software versions that hosts are retiring.
Not built for phones
Layouts from before mobile, patched to fit.
Years of URLs
Old pages and paths that still carry links and rankings.
What we keep
Every URL
Same addresses, or a checked redirect for each one that has to move.
SEO, line by line
Titles, descriptions, headings, schema and internal links carried over.
Forms and tracking
Every form tested until the lead lands, and every tag firing as before.

Questions about legacy site rebuilds
Our site is hand-coded. Can you still rebuild it?
Yes. We crawl the live site and capture every page and URL, so we don't need the original code or the original developer.
What about our oldest URLs?
Every one is kept or redirected, including old paths that still have links pointing at them.
Who owns the site when you are done?
You do. The code, the hosting account and the domain stay in your name, and the deploy steps are written down.
