Hacked or infected
Spam redirects, a Google “this site may be hacked” warning, injected content, or your host has suspended the site. We remove the malware and backdoors, then harden it against a repeat.
Johannesburg · website emergency rescue
Your WordPress site is down. We’ll get it back up.
Hacked, throwing errors, or broken after an update? Frank Bailey diagnoses the real problem and gets you back online — often the same day. WordPress & WooCommerce a speciality; we also rescue Joomla, Drupal and custom PHP.
› You talk to Frank — the developer doing the work — not a call centre.
What’s gone wrong?
Tell us the symptom. We’ve seen it before.
Down or won’t load
White screen, blank page, or the site simply won’t come up. We find what’s killing it — server, database, or code — and bring it back.
Broke after an update
A plugin, theme, or core update took the site down with it. We roll it back or resolve the conflict without losing your content.
Errors or locked out
“There has been a critical error”, database connection errors, 500s and 503s, or admin logins that no longer work. We trace the actual cause, not just the message.
How it works
From panic to back online, fast.
