For agencies
Your client has a problem you don't want.
We work with agencies, developers and service providers that occasionally inherit infrastructure or legacy systems outside their normal scope. Bring us in for the difficult part and keep the client relationship.
You do not need to hire internally for a problem you encounter twice a year. Nobody builds a team around an ageing forum, a server that will not upgrade, or an application whose original developer is long gone — and there is no reason you should.
These jobs are difficult to scope, difficult to estimate, and tend to consume the person who takes them on. We do them constantly, which makes them ordinary work rather than a hole in your schedule.
What we usually get called for
- Difficult migrations
- Linux and server issues
- Inherited legacy applications
- WordPress infrastructure
- Forum and community platform work
- vBulletin, XenForo and Discourse migration
- Emergency recovery
- Unusual PHP problems
- Hosting changes
- DNS and Cloudflare cutovers
- Stabilization before a redesign or rebuild
How we can work together
- Project-based specialist
- Scoped work with a defined end. The most common arrangement.
- Subcontracting
- We invoice you, you invoice your client, and your commercial relationship is untouched.
- Direct collaboration
- We work alongside your team with the client aware of who is doing what.
- White-label
- Where agreed in advance. We are content to be invisible.
Whichever it is, you get a clear handoff and written documentation at the end. We are not trying to become your client's supplier.
Tell us what you have inherited.
A description of the system and what is going wrong is enough to start. If it turns out not to be our sort of work, we will say so.
