Website Rescue

Website Rescue is the failed-build entry point. We contain risk first, write the fix list, lock scope, and ship recovery in stages with proof before cutover.

Failed build entryUse this when the build broke, the release failed, or the site feels unsafe.
Controlled scopeMost rescues land between $2,000 and $5,000 after the fix list is locked.
Proof before cutoverStaging fixes, smoke tests, and evidence come before launch.

Quick specs

If the scope cannot be met, the final milestone is refunded. Bugs found in the first 30 days are fixed at no cost.

How rescue works

Every move lowers risk before the next one. No generic retainer process. Just the steps needed to make the build safe and shippable again.

Confirm the failed-build path

We confirm what failed, what is at risk, and whether rescue is the right start. You get a yes or no before repair work begins.

Triage and scope lock

We gather access, capture logs, and write the contained fix list. That list locks the scope and the price.

Safe fixes in stages

Repairs happen on staging or in a safe recovery path. Production stays protected until each agreed stage is verified.

Proof then cutover

We deliver screenshots, logs, and smoke tests. Cutover only happens after you see that the agreed scope works.

What you can expect

Low-risk starting point

The first move is containment and diagnosis, not a big open-ended contract. That keeps the start small and legible.

Proof you can review

Before cutover, you see the agreed fix list working through screenshots, logs, smoke tests, and a clear handoff record.

Ownership stays with you

Access, backups, change notes, and credentials are handed back cleanly. Rescue does not create lock-in.

Pricing guardrails

Most rescues land between $2,000 and $5,000. Scope, proof steps, and cutover rules are written before work begins.

Triage intake

Most rescues
Website Rescue
$2,000 to $5,000

Fixed-price recovery after triage. Shipped in stages with staging proof and clean cutover rules.

  • Scope locked from the triage list; no creep.
  • Change log, backups, and smoke tests on handoff.
  • 30 day post-launch bug window at no cost.
Add-on hardening
Quoted

Only added if you approve it. Out-of-scope items are flagged the same day with cost and timeline.

  • Security and performance tightening after rescue.
  • Separate quote and schedule before starting.
  • Full ownership and credentials handed back.

Risk containment

These rules are visible before you sign. They apply to every rescue.

30 day bug window

Any bug tied to the agreed scope is fixed at no cost inside the first 30 days after launch.

Scope miss refund

If the signed scope is not met, the final milestone is refunded so you are not paying for undone work.

Out-of-scope flagged same day

Any out-of-scope item is flagged the day it is spotted with cost and timeline. No hidden add-ons.

After launch support

You keep the site, the access, and the repair record. If you need more help later, it stays on demand.

Clean handoff

You get the fix list, change log, backups, and access notes. Nothing is held back behind a retainer.

On-demand follow-up

If you need more work after rescue, you send a task, get a quote, approve it, and we ship it. No standing contract required.

No forced rebuild

If rescue solves the problem, we stop there. If the safer next move is a rebuild, that is quoted as a separate stage.
