Broken WordPress site, hacked WooCommerce store, white screen after a plugin update, checkout throwing errors, migration that never finished? Median fix time is 42 minutes on defined issues. A senior website repair engineer triages inside 60 minutes, reproduces the failure on staging, and ships a proven fix the same day. Flat $249, no subscription, real engineer, not a triage bot.
Short answer: Website repair is a fixed-fee service where a senior engineer diagnoses and fixes one defined problem on your live site the same day. Ours is $249 flat for standard repair, $499 flat for emergency or hacked site recovery. Every repair ships with a 48-hour follow-up warranty and a written post-mortem.

The failure modes we fix every week. If your symptom isn't listed, the triage call is free.
White screen of death, PHP fatal errors, 500 or 503 from the origin. We identify the failing plugin, theme, or PHP conflict, roll back if needed, and get the site serving within hours.
Spam links, redirects to sketchy domains, Japanese SEO spam, cryptominers, backdoor PHP files. Full malware removal, blacklist delisting, and hardening so it doesn't happen again.
Plugin conflict after a core, theme, or plugin update. We restore from the last verified backup, isolate the broken plugin on staging, and push a tested fix so you're not stuck on an old version.
Silent leaks. The site looks fine but the form submits into the void or the checkout throws a gateway error. We instrument the flow end to end and fix the root cause.
Speed repair: query profiling, plugin bloat audit, page cache + object cache, image + font optimization. Concrete before/after numbers, no vague 'we optimized it'.
Migration to new host went wrong, mixed content, wrong site URL, DNS not propagating, SSL not renewing. We finish the migration cleanly and verify every URL.
The same 4-step process we use whether the site is down, hacked, or just misbehaving.
You tell us the symptom. We ask the 4 questions that narrow it to a plugin, theme, PHP, DB, or host issue.
We pull a full backup before touching anything. Then reproduce the failure in staging so the fix is proven, not a guess.
Root-cause fix pushed to production, smoke-tested against your key URLs (home, contact, checkout, logged-in area).
One-page write-up of what broke, why, and what would prevent it. Optional monthly care plan if you want a human on it going forward.
Fixed fees, no hourly ticker. Complex work is quoted after a free triage call.
One well-defined issue on WordPress, WooCommerce, or a static site.

A website repair service diagnoses and fixes a specific problem on your live site: a crash after an update, a hack, a broken checkout, a slow page, a failed migration, a form that stopped submitting. Unlike a full redesign, website repair is scoped to a defined symptom and priced as a fixed fee once we've triaged the cause. Our website repair is flat $249, no hourly ticker, no subscription required.
Standard website repair is flat $249 (one well-defined issue, weekday triage). Emergency website repair is flat $499 (same-day, 24/7 response, hacked or ecommerce-down scope, includes malware removal and blacklist delisting). Complex multi-day rebuilds are quoted after a free 60-minute triage call, typically $500 to $2,500 depending on scope. No hourly rate, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.
Triage call inside 60 minutes on weekdays, inside 1 hour 24/7 on the emergency package. Median fix time on defined issues is 42 minutes; typical wall-clock from first message to production-verified is 2-6 hours. Complex root-cause work (intermittent 500s, slow-DB queries, checkout race conditions) usually takes 1-3 business days. Every repair ships same-day where the scope is fixable in one working session.
A senior WordPress engineer (not a triage bot, not a first-tier support agent, not a Fiverr freelancer) is the right person to fix a broken WordPress site. Signs you have the right one: they name the exact PHP or plugin conflict inside the triage call, they insist on a staging reproduction before touching production, they pull a backup before every fix, they give you a written post-mortem afterwards. WebCare Studios has been repairing WordPress sites for 6+ years, currently across a 150+ site fleet the founder previously ran at Pearl Lemon.
First we pull a full backup so nothing gets worse. Then we identify the failing plugin, theme, or PHP conflict, usually by disabling plugins on a staging clone one by one, or by reading the PHP error log directly. Once identified, we either roll back to a working version, patch the conflict, or replace the plugin with a maintained alternative, then verify the site loads cleanly before touching production. Median resolution on post-update WordPress failures is 1h 40m.
Yes. Full hacked website repair: malware removal, blacklist delisting (Google Safe Browsing, McAfee, Norton), backdoor file cleanup, database sanitisation, and a hardening pass so the same vector can't be used again. Included in the emergency website repair package at $499 flat. We also give you a written incident report you can share with clients, insurers, or auditors. If reinfection happens on the same vector within 30 days, the reclean is free.
Yes. About 92% of our website repair work is on sites we didn't build. We work on WordPress, WooCommerce, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace. For custom PHP or bespoke code we'll do a paid 30-minute discovery call ($50, credited against the repair fee) to confirm we can help before quoting. We do not touch Drupal, Joomla, or hand-rolled CMSs; if you send one, we'll refer you to a specialist rather than fake it.
A website fixer is the informal term for someone who repairs live-site issues on demand, without a design or rebuild retainer. What we actually do: read your PHP error log or Web Application Firewall log, reproduce the bug on a staging clone, isolate the failing component (plugin, theme, PHP version, hosting misconfig, malware, JavaScript conflict), push a tested fix to production, verify against your key URLs (home, contact, checkout, logged-in area), then write a one-page post-mortem so you know what broke and how to avoid it. It's the tradesperson model for websites; you call when it breaks, we fix it, you pay a flat fee.
Every website repair ships with a 48-hour follow-up warranty. If anything we touched breaks in that window we fix it at no extra cost. That's why we pull a full backup and verify on staging before we push. The warranty is cheap for us because we don't guess; on 100+ repairs in the last 90 days, 3 required follow-up work under the warranty and none required a refund.
Yes on weekdays if you contact us before 3pm your local time (any US, UK, EU, or MENA timezone). Yes 24/7 on the emergency package. Book at the top of this page or call the number in the header; a real engineer (not a chatbot) answers within 60 minutes.
Skip the form. Call, WhatsApp, or email. We will triage inside 60 minutes on weekdays, 1 hour 24/7 on the emergency package.
