Get the keys back
Domain, hosting, WordPress, e-mail: you should own every login, in your name. Not a freelancer who moved on, not an agency that closed.
Website takeover
↓Your website,back ingood hands.
The developer stopped answering. Nobody has the logins. WordPress hasn't been updated in two years and the contact form stopped sending. We take over sites like that: recover access, secure and update everything, document it, and keep it running from there.
- Access recovered, in your name
- Updated and secured within days
- Everything documented and handed over
- One contact from then on

What you need when a site is stranded
Three things you want when your developer is gone.
Know what's actually there
Which plugins, which versions, what's broken, what's risky. One page in plain language, so you can decide without being a developer.
Stop the bleeding
The form that stops sending, the shop that stops paying out, the site that gets hacked. Fixed first, before anything else is discussed.
What we do
A takeover in five steps, then peace.
Recover access
We find out who holds the domain, hosting and WordPress logins, and get them transferred to you. Politely, formally if needed.
Full backup and inventory
Before we touch anything: a complete backup, and an inventory of theme, plugins, versions, forms, integrations and what's broken.
Update and secure
WordPress, theme and plugins updated on a copy first, fragile or abandoned plugins replaced by WPStack modules, login protection and backups switched on.
Fix what's broken
Forms, e-mail, shop, booking: the things customers use, working again and tested.
Document and hand over
A short handover file: logins, hosting, how to change what, who to call. Yours, whatever happens next.
Keep it running
From there on, a care plan if you want one: updates, backups, monitoring, one contact. See maintenance and hosting.
The tools behind it
Built on our own modules.
Abandoned plugins are the reason most stranded sites break. Where we can, we replace them with WPStack modules we built ourselves: forms, SMTP, backups, login protection, GDPR. Fewer strangers in your site, fewer updates that can go wrong.

Good to know
Questions we hear about takeovers.
Anything else? Ask us, we answer within a working day.
If the domain or hosting is in your company's name, we help you reclaim it through the registrar or host. If it isn't, we help you move the site to accounts that are. Either way you end up with the keys.
Mostly yes for WordPress and Webflow. Other systems we assess first; sometimes a rebuild on WordPress is the cheaper, safer route, and we tell you honestly.
It depends on the state of the site: how outdated, how many plugins, what's broken. After the check you get a fixed proposal for the takeover, and a separate one for maintenance if you want it.
No. We work on a copy and switch when everything is tested. Visitors notice nothing.
No. A takeover keeps your site as it is, just healthy and yours. If it also looks dated, see website redesign; that's a separate choice.
We clean it, close the hole, change every password and switch on protection. Then we tell you what happened and what to watch.
