Website repair for broken, hacked and abandoned sites
Websites break at the worst moment, usually just after the person who built them has stopped replying. I find the real cause, tell you in plain English what fixing it involves, and fix it. Whatever the site is built on, I start from what you have, not from a pitch to rebuild it.
The problem
When to get in touch
What you get instead: a working site, an explanation of what went wrong, and the steps that stop it happening again.
- The site is down, or showing an error instead of your homepage
- Google or the browser is warning visitors that the site is hacked
- The contact form looks fine but the enquiries have stopped arriving
- The layout broke on phones after an update
- Your developer has stopped replying and nobody has the logins
- Your hosting company has suspended the account
What you get
How I fix it
Most broken sites need careful work, not a rebuild. The skill is finding the actual cause instead of patching the symptom and waiting for it to come back.
Diagnosis
You hear what's wrong before you spend
I look first and tell you what's broken, what it will cost and how long it will take. You decide whether to go ahead with the number in front of you.
Hacked
Hacked sites cleaned properly
Backups first, then the injected code found and removed, the way in closed, and a review requested if Google has flagged the site. If an install is too far gone to clean safely I'll say so, because a half-cleaned site gets reinfected.
Access
Logins, domain and hosting recovered
Who controls what gets traced and brought back into your name, often without the previous developer's help. Registrars and hosts have recovery routes for exactly this.
Forms
Enquiries that actually arrive
Forms that fail silently and replies landing in spam are some of the most common faults I see, and some of the most expensive, because nobody notices for weeks.
Platform
Whatever it's built on
WordPress, a custom build, or something a previous developer never explained. I work with what's there, and only suggest moving if repairing it would cost you more over time.
After
Stop it happening again
You get a short write-up of what failed and what changed. Monitoring and a care plan are there if you want them, never a condition of the fix.
Process
How a repair runs
Tell me what's happening
WhatsApp or the contact form, with the site's address and what you're seeing. Screenshots help but aren't needed.
Diagnosis
I find the cause and tell you what fixing it costs before any substantial work starts.
Fix
Backups first, then the repair, checked on the live site, including the forms and checkout that tend to break.
Hand back
A plain-English summary of what failed, what changed and anything worth doing next. Then it's yours again.

What clients say about working with Wayne
Every review below is verified on Trustpilot. All of them are five stars.
After a series of bad experiences with other web developers, working with Wayne was a breath of fresh air. He is very responsive and completes work to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend SourceCode to anyone.
Wayne is my go-to developer. He is a genius with coding and everything technical. He will always find a way to make everything work seamlessly, no matter how complicated the request. We have worked together on multiple projects over the years.
Wayne built new websites for me after my old ones had been compromised, and worked around my budget. He was always available to take my calls, and the after-sales support has been incredible.
I have had several dealings with Wayne and SourceCode, all of which have been positive. Wayne is helpful, knowledgeable and gives a speedy response.

FAQs
Website Repair: common questions
If yours is not here, ask it on the call. You will get a straight answer, including when the answer is no.
5 questions
01How much does a website repair cost?
Most repairs are charged at €50 an hour. If the diagnosis shows a bigger job, you get a fixed quote before it starts, so there's never an open-ended bill.
02How quickly can you look at it?
Usually the same week, and sooner when the site is down or hacked. For anything urgent, WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me.
03Someone else built my site. Can you still help?
Yes. That's most of this work. I take over sites I didn't build all the time, and I won't judge the state it's in.
04Do I have to move my hosting to you?
No. I work with whatever you have. If the hosting is the problem I'll explain why and what moving would cost, but the decision is yours, and I'm not reselling anyone's hosting.
05Is it worth fixing, or should I start again?
I'll tell you honestly. Plenty of sites that feel beyond saving need a few hours of work. When a rebuild would work out cheaper over the next couple of years, I'll show you why, and the choice is still yours.
