Your WordPress site got old quietly
WordPress is everywhere. About 42.6% of all websites run on it, and about 59.8% of sites built on a content management system (W3Techs figures reported by Barn2, April 2026). Which means most owners of an aging site are in good company, and most of them feel alone about it.
Nothing breaks on the day it goes out of date
What happens instead is drift. The theme stops matching newer browsers. A plugin stops being maintained. The person who set it up moves on. One morning a form stops sending and nobody knows which of the twenty moving parts caused it.
Signs the drift has gone far enough
- You avoid touching it, in case it breaks.
- Updates sit unapplied because the last one broke the layout.
- Nobody can say what half the plugins are for.
- The person who built it is unreachable. From our own rebuild work, 62% of the sites we rebuilt were over ten years old and the owner could not find the original developer.
What we do with a site like this
We copy what you have, so nothing is lost while we work. Then we build it again on a clean footing, bring across your words and pictures, and put in what was never there.
The code lands in your hands, with the paperwork proving it is yours and 90 days of guarantee behind the work. The full list is on what every rescue includes.
What it is not: a fresh coat of paint on the same creaking base, and not an upgrade treadmill you have to keep paying for.
