Heritage software. Built to last

We restore old websites and legacy software

Your site still works — mostly. Don't pay to rebuild it from scratch. Like a good restoration garage, we repair, stabilize and maintain older websites and legacy software so they run reliably and stay secure

Fixed-scope diagnosis. No “you need a full rebuild” sales pitch

Sound familiar?

Signs your software is showing its age

Visible errors

White screens, warning messages, broken pages and glitches that scare off both users and customers, and thus make the whole thing feel unreliable

Risky to update

Old software version, abandoned plugins or unsupported components leave the door open to security and compatibility problems

No documentation

The original developer is long gone, there's no documentation, and every change feels like it might bring the whole thing down

What we work on

The kinds of software we restore

Legacy codebases

Older applications — upgraded, patched and kept running on supported runtimes without a risky ground-up rewrite

WordPress & CMS

WordPress, Joomla and Drupal sites that are out of date, hacked or fragile — cleaned up, updated and secured

Online shops

WooCommerce and older Magento stores that are slow, buggy or stuck on unsupported versions and payment gateways

Databases

Aging databases — repaired, optimized and backed up so your data stays safe and queries stay fast

Servers & hosting

Migrations to supported hosting, HTTPS/SSL fixes, and server configuration that stops the random downtime

Integrations & APIs

Broken third-party connections — payment, email, shipping or CRM APIs that stopped working after an update

  3. 03

    Repair

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Isn't it cheaper to just rebuild from scratch?

Almost never. A rebuild means re-doing years of working logic, content and edge cases — at full price, with new bugs. Restoring keeps what already works and fixes only what's broken, usually for a fraction of the cost.

What if my software can't be saved?

We'll tell you honestly. The Restoration Check ends with a clear report. If restoring genuinely isn't worth it, we'll say so and point you in the right direction — no pressure to spend more.

The original developer is long gone. Is that a problem?

That's the situation we work in most. We're used to inheriting undocumented code with no handover, reverse-engineering how it works, and documenting it so it's maintainable again.

Do you work with very old or unsupported software?

Yes — that's our specialty. Whether it's an ageing PHP, Java or .NET codebase, an outdated CMS or a framework nobody supports anymore, we get it onto a secure, supported footing carefully, testing as we go so nothing breaks in the move.
