Fix a store that underperforms
Inherited a store nobody can safely touch?
A store built by a vendor who is gone. Code nobody can see into. Hosting that costs a fortune and a site you are afraid to change. We take over the whole thing, make it faster and cheaper to run, and keep it going, so what was a liability becomes a stack you own and trust.
- Code decomposed into something you can change safely
- Hosting cost cut, often dramatically
- Monitored and maintained after launch
- Infrastructure and accounts that are yours
The problem
A store you can’t see into is a store you can’t trust.
A vendor-locked black box
A liability you inherited
- Custom code trapped in a theme only the old vendor understood
- Slow, heavy pages eating server resources and money
- A hosting bill far above what the traffic should cost
- Afraid to touch the part that takes the orders
A stack you own
Taken over and made yours
- Code decomposed into clear, maintainable pieces you can change safely
- Optimized so pages are fast and resources aren’t wasted
- Hosting moved to infrastructure you own and we monitor
- One accountable team to fix what breaks and add what you need
What we build
What we do
Take over the code
We decompose an inherited theme and its plugins into clear, maintainable code, moving business logic out of the black box and into something we can change safely.
Optimize cost and speed
Cut the dead weight: fewer database queries, less RAM, lower bandwidth, and a hosting bill that matches the traffic instead of dwarfing it.
Run it, or hand it back
We monitor and maintain it, or hand it over documented and clean. Either way, the infrastructure and accounts are yours.
Proof
A five-site black box turned into a stack they own
MBS Communications had inherited a five-site WooCommerce stack from a previous agency, including a custom plugin nobody could see into, on hosting that had climbed to about $2,900 a month.
We took ownership of the code, cut homepage queries from 2,532 to 326 and RAM use about 84%, and moved all five sites to hosting they own and we monitor, dropping the bill to about $80 a month.
Outcomes
What changed for MBS
Moved off WP Engine to infrastructure the client owns.
From re-architecting and optimizing the inherited code.
A black box turned into a documented stack they control.

Taking the store off your plate is the outcome. Here is the work underneath it.
Questions
Common questions
The original developer is gone. Can you still take it over?
Yes. That is the usual situation. We decompose the inherited code until we understand it, document it, and turn it into something that can be changed safely.
Will you move us off our expensive hosting?
Where it makes sense, yes. For MBS we moved five sites to infrastructure they own and we monitor, and the bill went from about $2,900 a month to about $80.
Do we have to keep you on retainer afterward?
No. We can run it for you, or hand it over documented and clean so it keeps working whether or not you keep us. Either way, you own it.
