Audit and access
I check plugins, the theme, the PHP version, hosting and the accounts with access. I tidy up access so it's clear who can get into what.
Takeover and clean-up
Taking over your WordPress website from your previous developer
I take over WordPress websites from agencies and freelancers. In 2 weeks I audit the site, catch up on updates, fix issues, improve speed and set up backups, and you get a report at the end. Then we can move on to ongoing care.

Who it's for
When a takeover is worth it
- Your previous developer has disappeared or stopped replying, and nobody in the company knows how the site is built.
- Updates have been postponed for months because each one ends in stress.
- You're not sure who has access to the admin panel, hosting and domain.
- The site keeps getting slower, or errors appear that nobody can explain.
What's included
What the takeover and clean-up include
A fixed price of €690 net and 2 weeks of work. I start with an audit and a backup, and only then make changes.
A backup before changes
Before I change anything, I make a full backup of the files and database, kept off the server.
Overdue updates
I catch up on overdue updates in stages rather than changing everything at once.
Fixes
I fix the issues found in the audit. If a fix goes beyond the takeover, I quote it separately before I start.
Speed
I improve whatever slows the site down the most: images, caching, heavy plugins and scripts.
Report
At the end you get a report: what was done, what state the site is in and what's worth doing next.
How we start
How we start working together
- Step 01
A conversation about your website
Tell me what works, what gets in the way and what support your team needs. We agree on where to start.
- Step 02
Review and proposal
I look at the website and propose a scope of work and a billing approach. If a more detailed review is needed, we agree on its scope separately.
- Step 03
The first improvements
We work through the agreed priorities: fixes, improvements or day-to-day needs. You know what I am working on and which decisions need your input.
- Step 04
Ongoing care and development
We continue with an agreed monthly allowance of hours. I maintain the website and we plan further tasks around your business needs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will you take over a website built by someone else?
Yes, that's most of my work. I start with an audit and a backup, and only then make changes.
How long does a takeover take, and what does it cost?
2 weeks and €690 net, one-off. In that time I audit the site, update it, fix issues, improve speed and set up backups, and then hand over a report.
Do I need to contact my previous developer?
It isn't necessary. I need access to the WordPress admin panel, the hosting and the domain.
What if the audit reveals bigger problems?
I describe them in the report with a priority and the cost to fix them. Work beyond the takeover is quoted separately, before it starts.
Do I have to stay on ongoing care after the takeover?
No. The takeover ends with a report, and you can stop there. If the site is going to keep developing, I'll suggest one of the care plans.
