We can take over a website we did not build
Inherited websites can be reviewed before ongoing maintenance begins so the platform, hosting, domains, access, integrations, dependencies and known issues are understood.
Website takeover
A controlled handover instead of a blind takeover
A good handover protects ownership, access and recovery before routine maintenance starts.
- Confirm website, hosting and domain access
- Review current platform and dependencies
- Identify known issues and technical risk
- Check backup and recovery arrangements
- Document the support route and agreed scope
Controlled updates
Website updates should be managed, not simply clicked
The right process depends on the site, but important changes should have a clear path from preparation to recovery.
Review
Understand the change, dependencies and potential impact.
Prepare
Confirm backups, access and a suitable recovery route.
Test
Use staging or controlled testing where the change warrants it.
Deploy
Apply the agreed update or technical change.

Website Maintenance in Practice
ToughCAD: separating content and commerce for a more reliable ordering experience
ToughCAD's public-facing website remains on WordPress, while its online ordering workflow was moved to a dedicated eCommerce application. The previous setup placed more of the commerce experience inside WordPress, including file-upload and print-order tasks. As the workflow became more demanding, performance and reliability became more important.
Rather than replacing the entire site, the architecture was split around the job each system needed to do.
