How it works

From broken to fixed

1. Diagnose

You describe the problem. I look at your site, identify the root cause, and give you a clear scope and cost estimate.

2. Fix

I fix the issue and test it across devices and browsers. You approve the work before any payment changes hands.

3. Document

I document what was wrong and what I changed, so you have a record. 30-day warranty on all repairs.

Repair vs. rebuild

Which makes sense for you?

Not sure whether to repair or rebuild? Here's how I decide.

Hourly repair — $65/hr

Best for one or two specific problems on a site that otherwise works. Broken form, broken page, slow load time.

Full refresh — $597

Best for sites with multiple issues that are also outdated. Complete update with modern code, keep your content.

New build — from $447

Best for sites beyond repair or when you want a fresh start. New custom site built from scratch.

FAQ

Common questions about repair

How much does website repair cost?

I charge $65/hour for individual fixes with a one-hour minimum. For sites that need significant work, a full site refresh at $597 covers a complete update of your existing site with modern, fast, mobile-ready code.

How fast can you fix my website?

Most small fixes are done within 24-48 hours. Emergency fixes for broken sites can often be done same-day. Full site refreshes take 3-4 weeks depending on scope.

Do you work on any platform or CMS?

I work on WordPress, Gatsby, static HTML sites, and most common platforms. If your site is on a proprietary builder, I'll assess whether I can help during the free consultation.

Should I repair my site or get a new one?

If your site has one or two specific problems, hourly repair is the right choice. If your site is outdated, slow, and has multiple issues, a $597 refresh or a new $447 build may be more cost-effective. I'll tell you honestly which makes sense.
