How we work

How does a project with us actually run?

A written scope before any code is written, every change tested on a staging copy, and a handover to your own repository when it is done. No surprises, no lock-in.

The process

What happens after I contact you?

The same four steps whether it is one snippet, a whole plugin or a broken site.

  1. Tell us what you have

    Send the code, the plugin name or access to a staging copy. A senior engineer reads every enquiry, usually the same day Monday to Friday.

  2. Get a written report and a fixed price

    We tell you what is wrong, what it risks and what the fix costs before any work starts, usually within 48 hours.

  3. We fix and test on staging

    Every change is made and tested on a copy of your site, then handed over in your repository with notes.

  4. Keep it looked after

    Optional: a care plan keeps the code updated and monitored, so it keeps working after WordPress and PHP move on.

Testing

Do you test changes on my live site?

No. Every change, from a one-line fix to a new feature, is made and tested on a staging copy first. Nothing touches your live site until it has been verified working, and the written scope agreed before we start means there is no ambiguity about what "done" looks like.

  • A written scope agreed before any code is written
  • Changes made and tested on a staging copy, never live
  • A fixed price agreed before work starts
  • Handed over to your own repository with notes on what changed

Questions about working with us

How fast do you respond?
A senior engineer reads every enquiry, usually the same day Monday to Friday, with a free 30-minute call to scope the work and a fixed-price quote within 48 hours.
How fast do you respond to an emergency?
How fast we respond depends on your care plan tier; care plan clients get priority. Everyone else is read the same day Monday to Friday.
Do you edit plugin files directly?
No. We extend plugins through their hooks and filters, or in a small companion plugin, so updates from the original author stay safe.
Who owns the code afterwards?
You do. It is delivered to your own repository with notes, and nothing we build locks you into us.
