Tuning the signal
WEBSITE RESCUE
A broken contact form, a failed checkout, a four-second load — each one quietly costs you. Our senior team (12+ years) has recovered a dozen-plus sites with unreachable developers and withheld logins. Every rescue starts with a technical audit.
WHERE IT'S COSTING YOU
Each of these is a load-bearing workaround — quiet until the week it breaks. The free diagnosis ranks them by what they actually cost you.
The most common crisis: the developer who built the site is not responding, and hosting, domain, or CMS credentials are either unknown or withheld. Anito has a process for recovering access and re-establishing ownership.
Ranked first · diagnosed and costed before any quote
A compromised site damages SEO ranking, triggers browser warnings, and erodes trust immediately. Cleanup requires identifying the infection vector, removing malicious code, patching the vulnerability, and hardening against re-infection.
A four-second load loses roughly half of mobile visitors before the page renders. Performance rescue identifies the specific bottlenecks — unoptimised images, render-blocking scripts, uncached queries — and fixes the highest-impact ones.
A WordPress installation running two-year-old plugins is a security liability. Outdated software is the most common attack vector. Stabilisation means getting it current without breaking the functionality your business depends on.
A site that works until it does not — and no one who knows why it was built that way. A technical audit surfaces what exists, what is fragile, and what the risk profile is before anything is changed.
Checkout failures, form errors, and authentication breakdowns often trace to an expired API credential or an undocumented configuration change. Systematic diagnosis finds the cause.
A WRITTEN DAMAGE REPORT FIRST
Before any repair bill, you get a prioritised report — severity, revenue impact, and the before→after for each fix. If the audit shows a rebuild makes more sense than a rescue, it says so with numbers for both.
WHAT WE BUILD
Every rescue starts with a structured technical audit — hosting environment, CMS version, plugin state, security posture, performance profile. The audit produces a prioritised findings list with severity ratings: what needs fixing today, what can wait, and what each fix costs. A focused rescue typically runs $1,500–$5,000 — often less than a week of lost leads. If a rebuild is the honest answer, the audit says so with numbers for both paths.
Foundational to the portfolio — often a prerequisite for the others.

Systematic recovery of hosting, domain, CMS, email, and third-party access — including working with registrars on account verification — so you hold every credential for your own site.
Full scan and cleanup of infected files, backdoor removal, entry-point identification, and hardening — two-factor authentication, file permission tightening, firewall configuration.
Real-world load time measured, top bottlenecks identified, targeted fixes applied — image optimisation, caching, script deferral, query tuning — with before-and-after Core Web Vitals.
Controlled update of CMS core, plugins, and themes in a staging environment — with functional testing before anything touches production.
Root-cause diagnosis and repair of checkout failures, form errors, and authentication breakdowns — with a written explanation so the same problem does not recur.
A written technical summary after rescue: hosting environment, key credentials, plugin inventory, known limitations, recommended next steps. Any developer should be able to pick it up.
BY THE NUMBERS
After the audit, both a rescue quote and a rebuild quote are on the table — the right answer depends on actual cost and risk, not what is easier to sell. A WooCommerce checkout silently failing due to an expired payment gateway credential is a common pattern: the audit identifies the cause, the fix is typically live within hours, and the stabilisation cost is a fraction of what the downtime cost in missed revenue.
The senior who scopes your project is the one writing the code. Repos, hosting, and every credential sit in your accounts from the first commit — a developer disappearing is not a scenario that applies to you.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Anito treats active emergencies as priority engagements — the initial audit begins as soon as we're looped in, typically the same business day. A site that is completely down or showing malware warnings is treated as urgent.

You get a written findings report once access is granted and the audit is run — what is broken, what caused it, what each fix costs, and whether rescue or rebuild makes more sense. A focused rescue typically runs $1,500–$5,000. That document is yours to take to any other developer. No pitch, no retainer, no deposit.
No deposit until scope is agreed. If the diagnosis shows we are not the right fit, we will tell you — and you owe nothing.
