Websites
We rebuild websites to load in under a second, with nothing to patch.
We rebuild out-of-date business websites as fast, plain pages, with no plugins or database to keep updated. Every page moves across, every old link redirects, and the domain and hosting stay in your name.

Why we build plain pages instead of another WordPress site.
A WordPress site is a small software stack that has to be kept patched every month. A plain site is a set of files.
What you maintain today
- WordPress itself, a theme and a set of plugins, each needing updates and each able to break the others.
- A database the site reads on every visit, and a login page that attackers probe all day.
- Hosting and a domain that are sometimes registered to whoever built the site.
- A maintenance contract, or nobody quite sure what breaks if a plugin is removed.
What you maintain after a rebuild
- Plain pages and one stylesheet, with nothing to update or patch.
- No database and no login page, so there is nothing to break into.
- Domain and hosting in your name, with every login in your hands.
- Written notes on how the site fits together, so any developer can work on it.
What a rebuild includes.
One fixed fee covers all of it. The only thing that changes the price is the size of the site and what it connects to.
A survey of your current site
Every page, form, download and address, and which pages people reach from search.
Every page rebuilt
In plain code, with your words and photos, laid out for phones first. You review each one on a private preview.
Every old link redirected
Links from other sites, old brochures and search results keep working on day one.
Forms that reach you
Inquiry and booking forms land in your inbox or your existing system, without a plugin.
Hosting set up in your name
On a host that serves the site from data centers near each visitor, so it loads as fast in New York as in London.
Handover and notes
The files, the logins, and a written guide to how the site is put together and how to change it.

WordPress.org lists 4.2.38 as insecure, and no release in the 4.2 line gets security fixes any more. The current version is 7.1.3.

Questions about rebuilds
Will we lose our Google rankings?
No. Every old address redirects to its new page, so links and search results keep working. Search engines also take speed into account, and the rebuilt site loads in a fraction of the time.
Can we keep our current design?
If you like it, yes. We rebuild it page for page as plain pages. If you'd rather start fresh, the redesign is part of the same fixed fee.
How long does it take?
Most rebuilds take three to five weeks from the first call to going live. Your current site stays up until the day you choose to switch.
What does hosting cost afterwards?
For most business sites, nothing or a few dollars a month. The figure is in the quote.
