Takeover, optimization & managed operations

Inherited a store you can’t control, or overpay to run? We take it over.

When a previous developer leaves you a black box that’s slow, fragile, and expensive to host, you’re not stuck with it. We take ownership of the code, make it fast, move it to hosting you own, and then keep it running, so the store keeps earning instead of aging.

A real takeover

84%
Less RAM

The bloat that slowed the site and inflated the bill, gone.

Owned, not rented

A vendor-locked black box turned into a stack they control.

The difference

Launch and leave, or build and run?

The usual agency model

Launched, then on your own

  • Build team disappears the week after launch
  • Integrations drift and break with no owner
  • A backlog of improvements nobody ships
  • The store slowly decays until the next big rebuild

Build and run

A system that keeps improving

  • One team that builds, monitors, and improves continuously
  • Integrations watched and maintained, not abandoned
  • A steady cadence of shipped improvements
  • No big rebuild, the store compounds instead of decaying

What we run

The operational layer beneath a store that keeps earning

Ongoing development

A steady stream of store improvements, features, and fixes, shipped, not stockpiled.

Integration upkeep

We keep the connections to CRM, ERP, and fulfillment reconciled so the numbers keep tying out, and if a sync breaks, you hear it from us, not at month-end.

Continuous CRO

Research and experiments running as a loop, not a one-time project.

Performance & uptime

Speed, reliability, and the technical health that quietly protects revenue.

Attribution health

Keeping the system that credits every sale accurate as the business changes, and the model and data stay yours, documented and exportable.

Roadmap & reporting

A shared roadmap and reporting so you always know what shipped and what’s next.

Questions

Common questions

Is this a retainer?

It’s a care plan, tiered by how much building and running you need, designed around outcomes and a roadmap, not a vague block of hours. And it isn’t a trap: you can pause, downgrade, or cancel as your needs change. You’re buying a result, not signing away control.

What if we want to take it in-house or leave?

You can, anytime. That’s the difference between a care plan and a hostage situation. Your store, your stack, your data, and your attribution model are yours, documented and exportable. When we run the engine it stays configured to your model, and if you ever want to bring it in-house or move to another firm, we hand it over clean instead of holding it hostage. “We stay” means we keep earning your renewal, not that you can never leave.

Do you only run stores you built?

No. We take over existing stores too, usually starting with a working session to understand what we’re inheriting before we improve it.

What’s the top tier?

Fully managed: we run the store, the integrations, and the attribution/commission system end to end, under one accountable lead. The model and data stay yours throughout. See care plans for the tiers.
