The developer is gone
The freelancer, agency or employee who built the system has left, and you are left without support.
Project maintenance and takeover
Have a project but no one to maintain it? Get in touch.
We take over websites and applications built by someone else, old or new, with or without documentation. With more than 15 years of experience in software development we have worked with almost every technology, so we quickly understand how your system works and take care of it.
- 15+ years of experience
- Old and new projects
- Security and backups
- Fast response

When you need someone to take over your project
These are the most common reasons clients come to us. We have a solution for each one.
No documentation
No one knows exactly how the system works, and every change risks breaking something.
Outdated versions
Old PHP, frameworks or an unpatched WordPress open the door to attacks and problems.
Bugs and downtime
The site is slow, sometimes goes down or has bugs that no one has time to fix.
You need a steady team
You need regular changes and new features, but not a full-time developer.
Servers out of control
No one monitors hosting, the domain, SSL or backups, and a renewal could expire any day.
Experience
More than 15 years of experience. We have seen it all.
We have worked with old PHP projects without a framework, with the first versions of Laravel and the latest ones, with WordPress, Symfony and custom-built systems, on all kinds of hosting and servers. That is why no codebase scares us, however old or tangled it is.
We will always tell you honestly what state your project is in: what is good, what is a risk and what is worth fixing, and when modernisation is the better option.

Security
The security of your project comes first
An outdated, unmaintained system is the easiest target for attacks. When we take over your project, we take over its security too.
Security review
A thorough check of code, servers and dependencies, with a report on the vulnerabilities found.
Fixing vulnerabilities
We fix the most common issues such as SQL injection, XSS and insecure forms.
Regular updates
PHP, frameworks, plugins and libraries always on versions with security patches.
SSL and site protection
HTTPS, security headers and protection against bots, brute force attacks and spam.
Access protection
Two-factor login, strong passwords, roles and permissions and removing old access.
Backup and recovery
Automatic off-server backups and a tested recovery plan for when you need it.
Monitoring and alerts
We monitor uptime, errors and suspicious activity and react before you notice.
Hacked site cleanup
We remove malicious code, close the hole the attack came through and get the site back online.
For more demanding systems we also run penetration tests and set up IDS, IPS and HIDS server protection.
Takeover
How we take over your project
No risk and no downtime. First we understand the system, then we change it.
-
1. Access and onboarding
We take over access to the code, server, domain and services and learn how you use the system.
-
2. Technical review
We analyse the code, security, performance and risks and give you a clear report on its state.
-
3. Stabilisation
We set up backups, fix critical bugs and close the biggest security holes.
-
4. Documentation
We document how the system works, so knowledge never depends on one person again.
-
5. Regular maintenance
Updates, monitoring, changes and new features according to an agreed plan.
-
6. Modernisation when needed
When the old system becomes a limitation, we propose a gradual modernisation.

FAQ
Questions about project maintenance
Do you take over projects you did not build?
Yes, that is the most common case. We take over websites and applications built by other developers or agencies, no matter how old they are or what technology they use.
What if there is no documentation?
No problem. From the code, database and server we reconstruct how the system works and write the documentation, so knowledge no longer depends on one person.
What if the code is badly written?
We will tell you honestly. First we stabilise the system and close the biggest risks, then we advise whether it is worth gradually cleaning up the existing code or whether modernisation is the better option.
How much does maintenance cost?
It depends on the size and state of the system and the level of support you need. After the technical review we propose a suitable plan and send a quote with no obligation.
My site has been hacked. Can you help?
Yes. We remove the malicious code, find and close the hole the attack came through, get the site back online and set up protection so it does not happen again.
Do I have to change my hosting?
No. We can maintain the system on your current hosting, and if the hosting is the cause of the problems, we will suggest a better option and move the project without downtime.
Do you do one-off jobs?
Yes. If you only need a bug fix, a security review or a version upgrade, we will do it with no long-term commitment.
