Code Support

Stuck with a build someone else started? I'll pick it up, fix what's broken and tell you straight what's worth keeping.

(the short version)

Picking up where someone else left off.

The developer went quiet. The agency moved on. Or the site just grew into something nobody fully understands, and now small changes take weeks and every fix breaks something else.

I'll take it on, find out what's actually going on, and tell you straight what's worth keeping, what needs fixing and what should be rebuilt. Then do the work.

(included)

What you get.

(01)
Codebase review
A proper look under the hood, written up in plain English: what's solid, what's risky and what's costing you.
(02)
Bug fixes
The things that have been broken for months, fixed at the root, not patched over.
(03)
Performance work
Slow pages traced back to whatever's actually slowing them down, then sorted.
(04)
Shopify theme fixes
Broken sections, app conflicts and theme code someone else customised, untangled.
(05)
Framer and custom code
Code components, overrides and integrations that stopped working, fixed.
(06)
Handover notes
Whatever I touch gets documented, so the next person isn't starting from scratch.

(approach)

What you won't hear from me.

"It all needs rebuilding"
Sometimes it does. Usually it doesn't. You'll get an honest read before anyone suggests starting over.
"The last developer was an idiot"
Every codebase has history. The job is to fix it, not to blame whoever came before.
"It'll be done when it's done"
Every fix is scoped and priced before the work starts.

(pricing)

Fixed prices. No surprises.

(testimonials)

Ask the people who paid.

Matt's worked across our entire brand portfolio for over two years. Last-minute jobs, unrealistic deadlines, early starts, late finishes. The quality's never dropped once.

Chris Johnson — Footasylum

Matt's changes made a real difference across the site. No lengthy briefs, no drawn-out revisions. Just the right call, made quickly.

Ross Taylor — Footasylum

We had nothing — no site, no brand presence online. I was particular about every detail, and Matt still delivered something better than what I asked for. The ongoing support means I can add services and make changes whenever I need to — always done quickly, always with a creative touch.

Sarah Bass — Lumina Funerals

(faqs)

Straight answers.

Do you work on sites you didn't build?

That's the whole point. Shopify, Framer, WordPress, Astro, Next.js and most custom builds.

What if the code's a mess?

Most are, a bit. You'll get an honest assessment of what's worth fixing and what's worth replacing.

How is code support priced?

£600 a day, or £350 for half a day, with each job scoped before the work starts. For regular work, Care & Maintenance from £125/month is usually better value.

Can you work alongside my existing developer?

Yes. Code reviews, a second pair of hands, or the jobs they don't have time for.

How quickly can you start?

Small jobs usually within a week or two. Every job gets a start date before you agree to anything.

Will I get access to the code?

You should already have it. If you don't, getting it back is usually the first job.

Need something else? Just ask.
