Website rescue for unfinished WordPress projects.

Has your website project stalled, or has your previous developer become unavailable? I help businesses work out what can be kept, what needs finishing and what stands between an unfinished WordPress site and launch.

Free initial conversation · Scope and price agreed before work

Get a clear route from stalled project to launch

  • Understand what is usable before committing to more development.
  • Prioritise the pages and contact routes your customers need first.
  • Agree who supplies content, manages access and approves launch so the next steps are clear.

How the project works

  1. Send the preview address and a list of unfinished work. We clarify access, ownership and what the original project was meant to deliver.
  2. I review the agreed parts of the build and propose a completion scope. Review costs and development costs are explained separately.
  3. After approval, I carry out the agreed work, check the affected features and arrange a handover and launch when ready.

What is included?

  • An agreed review of the current build and outstanding requirements
  • A completion plan that separates launch essentials from later improvements
  • A backup or safe working copy agreed before changes
  • Completion of the pages and functionality in your quote
  • Checks of affected mobile layouts, links and forms
  • An agreed launch and handover plan

Work directly with your developer.

I’m Luke, a freelance web designer and WordPress developer based in Winchester. My experience includes development at Rooster Marketing and Elliotts Builders Merchant. You speak to the person carrying out the work.

I explain the proposed work, agree the scope and price, and keep you informed as the project progresses.

Questions before you enquire

Can you take over from another developer?

I can review an existing WordPress build if you can arrange authorised access to it. Keep copies of the brief, designs and licences if available; these help establish what can be used and what remains.

Will you keep what has already been built?

Where it is suitable, yes. I will explain which parts can be kept and where repairs or replacement may be needed. A review comes before any recommendation to rebuild.

What if I cannot access the website?

Tell me what access you have. You may need to contact your hosting provider, domain registrar or previous developer first. I cannot promise recovery of accounts or files you do not control.

Can you guarantee a launch date?

A realistic date depends on the condition of the build, access, content and remaining work. We agree a timescale after reviewing those requirements.

Other ways I can help

Based in Winchester, working with organisations in Southampton and across Hampshire. Remote projects welcome throughout the UK.

Tell me what you need.

Share your website or preview address, what has been completed, what is missing and your intended launch date. Mention what WordPress, hosting and domain access you have, but do not send passwords in the form.
