SORTEDDoes this sound familiar?
Send us the website and a short description. We’ll take a look before we reply.
Pick the closest problem. The recommendation changes instantly — you do not need to know the technical terminology.
We check who controls the domain, hosting and website, help recover missing access and supervise the handover.
See how switching works →You do not need to know the technical answer before you contact us. These services describe the situations businesses normally arrive with.
We investigate ownership and access, help recover anything missing and supervise the move away from a provider that is no longer working for you.
Help me switch →02 · Existing siteKeep a website that still has value and put competent support, hosting and responsibility around it.
Take over my site →03 · Urgent problemBroken, hacked, unfinished or abandoned. Stabilise it, recover what we can and decide whether repair or rebuild makes sense.
Rescue my website →04 · HostingMove the site without casually breaking email, DNS, SSL or other services that depend on the current setup.
Move my hosting →05 · WordPressFixed-price help for changes, errors, WooCommerce, custom plugins and anything else WordPress throws at you.
Get WordPress help →06 · PlatformMove away from Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy/Airo, Shopify or another platform when there is a genuine reason to do it.
Explore platform moves →One is a human review of the wider website and SEO setup. The other is an instant WordPress check using information the public site exposes.
We spend around 20–30 minutes reviewing the site, search visibility, technical clues, conversion and the wider setup, then prioritise the findings in plain English.
Check the WordPress version and plugin versions the site exposes publicly. No email address required.
Before we switch, migrate or repair anything, we map the services around it so a website change does not accidentally take email, tracking or something else offline.
We are not starting from the assumption that you need a new website, a bigger monthly package or even Smarter Search.
Tell us the domain, what is going wrong and what access you know you have.
Website, platform, domain, hosting, email dependencies, maintenance and the things worth preserving.
Keep it, repair it, take it over, migrate it, rebuild it — or leave it alone if that is genuinely the best answer.
If a switch is needed, we stay involved through access, backups, migration, DNS, redirects and handover.
We help businesses move from Wix, Squarespace and GoDaddy / Airo without throwing away the useful parts of the existing site.
We assess what is worth keeping, recreate the useful design and content, and protect URLs and SEO signals through the move.
Squarespace can export some content, but not a complete finished WordPress website. We handle the parts that still need recreating.
Websites + Marketing, Airo AI Builder and Airo for WordPress need different approaches. We work that out before quoting the job.
These are standalone services — not compulsory extras bundled into a website project.
We create the graphics, write the copy, schedule the posts and adjust campaigns from the previous month’s results.
See social packages →£20 setup · £10/month add-onSetup, optimisation, profile posts, review replies and help with access, verification or suspension problems.
Improve my Google profile →NFC + QRBranded cards that make the review journey easier, with optional WordPress click tracking for individual staff/cards.
