Fault desk / WordPress support
I fix and support WordPress websites for small businesses. If a site is broken, slow, difficult to update or has a feature that has stopped working, I start by finding the real cause before suggesting a rebuild or a long list of unnecessary work.
If your WordPress site is approaching launch, start with the human-reviewed WordPress Launch Check. For a quick automated snapshot of public signals, use the Free Website Health Check. WordPress Support is the right route when an existing site has a problem or fault.
Observe → isolate → agree → test
Working principle / 01
Diagnose before changing.
Preserve what works. Find the cause. Test the affected workflow.
Fault catalogue / common signals
What WordPress problems can you help with?
- A site that is down, broken or showing errors.
- Plugin or theme conflicts and faults.
- Updates that have failed or caused a problem.
- Slow pages or an admin area that is painful to use.
- Forms, payments or other features that no longer work as expected.
- Moving a WordPress site between hosts or domains.
- Taking over a site built by somebody else.
- Small content, layout or functionality changes that never quite get done.
You do not need to diagnose the technical fault before getting in touch. A description of what you see, when it started and what changed recently is a useful beginning.
Decision point / repair or rebuild
What can WordPress support include?
Support can be a focused one-off repair, a group of practical improvements or a route into ongoing care. I can investigate the problem, explain the options in plain English, make the agreed change and test the part of the site that matters.
If the existing site is basically sound, the sensible answer may be to repair it. If it has deeper structural problems, I will explain why a rebuild might be better instead of using a small fault as an excuse to sell one.
If you would rather have the site looked after continuously, Hosting & Care can combine managed hosting, routine maintenance, monitoring and practical support.
Repair route / three stages
How does a support job work?
01 / Observe
Tell me what is happening
Send the site address and a plain-English description of the problem. Screenshots, exact error messages and the last thing that changed can all help.
02 / Diagnose
Diagnose before changing
I inspect the site and narrow down the likely cause. The first goal is to understand the problem, preserve what is working and avoid making it worse.
03 / Verify
Agree and test the fix
I explain the practical route forward, make the agreed repair or improvement, and test the affected workflow rather than stopping as soon as an error message disappears.
Questions / support boundary
WordPress support FAQs
Can you take over a site you did not build?
Yes. I will first work out how it has been built, what access is available and whether there are any obvious risks. Existing work is not automatically a reason to start again.
Can you help if an update broke the site?
Yes. Avoid repeatedly retrying the update or deleting files at random. If possible, keep a copy of the error and tell me what was updated. The guide to a broken WordPress update explains the first safe steps.
Will you recommend a rebuild?
Only when the wider condition of the site makes it the better route. A repairable problem should not become a rebuild simply because rebuilding is easier to quote.
Can you make small improvements as well as repairs?
Yes. Once the urgent problem is understood, I can also help with sensible changes to content, forms, functionality or the editing experience.

Tell me what the site is doing
You do not need the technical diagnosis. Send the website address, what you expected to happen and what happened instead.
