WordPress Support & Site Takeovers

Home Services Website Management WordPress Support & Site Takeovers

Service Overview

If you have a website that needs help and nobody to hand it to, this is the service. I take the site over, learn how it is built, and become the person you go to when something needs changing, fixing or improving. Most takeovers are WordPress, but I also consider other platforms, so if your site is built on something else it is still worth a conversation.

It starts with a paid health check, because taking responsibility for a site I have not looked at would not be honest. The check tells you what condition it is really in, what is urgent, and whether ongoing care, a set of fixes or a rebuild is the right answer.

What a takeover covers

Every takeover includes

WHAT WE TAKE ON

Four situations this actually solves

Nobody Knows How It Works

Built by someone who has since moved on, with no documentation. The health check maps how it is put together, so small changes stop being risky.

It Has Been Left Alone Too Long

Years of skipped updates, an expired certificate, plugins abandoned by their developers. This is the most common one, and it is fixable more often than people expect.

Something Is Broken Now

A form that stopped delivering, a page that will not load, a booking step that fails. One-off support, without signing up to anything monthly.

Repair or Rebuild

Sometimes the honest answer is that the site is not worth maintaining. You get told that plainly, with the reasoning, rather than being quietly billed to keep it alive.

WHY NORTHVIEW

The health check comes before the promise

I look before I promise anything. The health check gives me a documented picture of how the site is built, what is urgent, what can wait and what it will take to keep it healthy. You get a straight answer on whether ongoing care, a set of fixes or a rebuild is the right call, with the reasoning and the numbers behind it, and the decision stays yours.

HOW WE PACKAGE IT

Start with a health check

Site Health Check and Takeover

A fixed piece of work that tells you what condition the site is in and what it needs. From there you can hand it to me, hand it to someone else, or work through the list yourself.

FAQS

Questions about support and takeovers

Will you take over a site you did not build

Yes, that is most of this work. It starts with a paid health check so I know what I am taking responsibility for, and so you get an honest picture rather than a monthly invoice wrapped around an unknown.

What if I do not have the logins

That is common and usually recoverable. Domain registrar records, hosting account ownership and email access are the routes back in, and establishing what you actually own is part of the first job.

How does a takeover actually work

It starts with the health check. From there access and ownership are confirmed in your name, the urgent problems get fixed first, and everything else is prioritised into a plan you can see. Then I handle the day to day support, and WebCare is there if you want the site looked after continuously.

What if the site should be rebuilt

Then I will say so and explain why. A site on an abandoned theme, or one where every plugin is years out of date, can cost more to keep alive than to replace. You get the reasoning and the numbers, and the decision is yours.
