For businesses in Graz with a WordPress site built years ago by someone no longer reachable. We take it over, put it in order and say beforehand what that costs.
The site runs but nobody has access. It was built six years ago by an acquaintance, an intern or an agency that no longer exists. As long as nothing happens, nobody notices.
When a phone number changes, when a browser flags the site as insecure or when strange content suddenly appears. Then it becomes urgent, and urgent is always more expensive.
With an assessment, not with a quote for a new site. We check what runs, where it sits, who owns the domain and whether anyone has already been inside. Only then do we talk money.
ZUGANG // DOMAIN & HOSTING
Domain, hosting, the WordPress account and mailboxes belong to you and should be registered in your name. Sorting that out is unspectacular and the single most important step.
BESTAND // GEPRÜFT
Outdated plugins, open user accounts, files nobody created. In installations without updates we find this regularly, and it is better that we find it than someone else.
WARTUNG // MONATLICH
Updates, backups and a person who answers the phone. For businesses in Graz that runs remotely because nobody needs to get in a car for it. For meetings on site we come.
Offer a new site before we have seen the old one. In a good half of cases the existing site is fine and needs updates, access and two corrections, not a rebuild.
Transfer the domain before it is clear who owns it. If it is registered to the previous provider that is a separate and sometimes awkward conversation. We settle it first anyway.
And delete content that looks dated. Old pages with rankings are worth more than new ones without. What goes is decided after looking at the numbers, not at the appearance.

If you cannot answer one of these four questions that is not a reproach, it is the norm. We settle it during the assessment.
The assessment is a fixed, manageable amount we state beforehand. What follows depends on what we find. In a good half of cases updates, access and a few corrections are enough. A rebuild falls within our usual 2.500€ to 8.000€.
Usually not. Through the domain and the host there is almost always a route, and if the previous provider is reachable we ask there first. What matters is that you can prove the domain is yours.
No. The work happens on your website, coordination runs over video and phone. For a first meeting we come to Graz if you value that. After that we rarely meet in person, and we say so beforehand.
We bill maintenance monthly and state the amount before we start. It depends on how many systems run and how fast we should react in an emergency. The contract is cancellable monthly, not yearly.
Only after looking at the numbers. Old pages with rankings are worth more than new ones without, and a rebuild regularly costs visibility in the first months. If the structure is sound, a new look on the existing base is often the better route.
