Leave your details before you go

Would you like to reach your audience more effectively and want more information? Or do you have a question you can't find an answer to right away? I'm happy to help! Just leave your details and I'll get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Have your website taken over

Your web builder has stopped, no longer responds or your site suddenly went offline. You're at your wits' end and don't know who to turn to anymore. Relax: I take over your website and become your fixed point of contact.

Sound familiar?

Left in the lurch with your website?

It happens to more business owners than you'd think. And there's almost always a solution. If you recognise yourself in one of these situations, you're in the right place.

  Your builder has stopped or is unreachable. Emails go unanswered and you feel left to your own devices.

  Your site suddenly went offline. Or you're afraid it could happen at any moment.

  You no longer have access. Logins, hosting or domain name: you no longer know what's where.

  You want certainty. Someone who keeps your site running and simply picks up when you call.

How I approach it

Step by step, back in your hands

No chaos, no technical jargon. We calmly work through a set plan until everything is yours again.

1

A short conversation

You tell me what went wrong and what you still have. In one phone call we both roughly know where you stand.

2

Working out what's still there

Where is your site hosted, who manages your domain name, which access details are missing. I map it out so you have a clear picture.

3

Getting the access back

Step by step, you get logins, hosting and domain name back in your name. From now on you're no longer dependent on anyone else.

4

A safe migration

Your website moves to a stable environment. The aim is minimal disruption: ideally visitors notice nothing of the transition.

And if it doesn't work out?

Old access details can't be recovered?

Sometimes a web builder has genuinely vanished or no one will grant access anymore. Annoying, but rarely a dead end. In most cases there's still a way forward, and otherwise we make a fresh start based on what's still usable.

What I can usually salvage:

  •   Your text, photos and logo
  •   The look and structure of your site
  •   Your domain name and your place in Google
  •   Anything visible online, I can rebuild

Never stuck

Even without a single old login you're not left empty-handed. We build on what's there and this time put everything in your name straight away.

Afterwards

I also handle your maintenance

After the takeover you don't have to go searching again. I stay your fixed point of contact, so your site keeps running and you can simply get on with business.

Hosting

Your site runs in a stable, fast environment that I keep an eye on for you.

Updates

I keep everything up to date, so your site stays secure and keeps working.

Backups

Regular backups so no work is ever lost again.

Changes

Need to update a text, photo or price? You send a message and it's sorted.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions about a takeover?

The questions business owners ask me most often when their builder is gone.

  My builder no longer responds, can you help?

Yes. I regularly step in for business owners whose web builder has stopped or gone unreachable. In a short conversation we work out together what's still there and how to get your site back in your own hands.

  I don't know where my site is hosted, is that a problem?

No, that's very common. Finding out where your site runs and who manages your domain name is exactly one of the first things I do for you. You don't have to figure that out yourself.

  Does the takeover take a lot of work for me?

Deliberately as little as possible. You tell me what went wrong, and I take on the investigation and the technical transition. The aim is for you to barely notice the takeover itself.

  Will you stay available afterwards?

Yes. After the takeover I become your fixed point of contact for hosting, updates, backups and small changes. You don't have to go searching again if something comes up.

  What about my domain name?

Your domain name is and stays yours. I find out where it's registered and help you get its management back in your name, so you're never dependent on someone else for it again.

  What if the old access details really can't be recovered?

Usually there's still a way forward. If recovering everything really doesn't work, we make a fresh start based on what's still usable, with you as the owner of all access details from the very beginning.
