Your Last Developer Left a Mess. Let's Clean It Up.
The agency vanished. The freelancer ghosted. The code has no documentation, the hosting credentials are missing, and nobody knows how anything works. We've cleaned up dozens of these situations. Here's how we fix yours.
The Problem
We've Seen This Before
Your developer disappeared and nobody knows how the system works
The code has zero documentation — not even a README
The site is broken and you can't find anyone willing to touch the existing code
You're paying for hosting and services but don't know what they do
Credentials are scattered or missing entirely
You want to hire a new team but they refuse to work on the current codebase
The Solution
Audit. Fix. Document. Handover.
We take the mess off your hands, figure out what's there, fix what's broken, document everything properly, and give it back to you in a state where any competent developer can pick it up and run.
Full Codebase Audit
We read through the entire codebase, identify what's working, what's broken, what's a security risk, and what's unnecessary dead code.
Critical Bug Fixes
We fix the things that are actively causing problems — broken features, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and data leaks.
Documentation & System Map
A proper README, environment setup guide, architecture diagram, and API documentation. Everything the next developer needs to get started in 30 minutes, not 3 weeks.
Security Hardening
API keys rotated, environment variables secured, public endpoints protected, and authentication flows reviewed. We close the doors your previous developer left open.
Clean Git & Deployment Setup
Codebase pushed to a GitHub repo under your account. CI/CD pipeline configured. Staging and production environments separated properly.
30-Day Support Window
After handover, we're available for 30 days to answer questions, help your new team get up to speed, and fix anything we might have missed.

Common Questions
FAQs
Sometimes it is. If the codebase is fundamentally broken or built on obsolete technology, we'll tell you honestly. In those cases, we recommend a rebuild and give you a clear scope for what that would look like.
Simple audits and documentation: 1–2 weeks. Full audit + bug fixes + documentation + handover: 2–4 weeks. We'll give you a timeline after the initial access and inventory phase.
We're strongest with Next.js, React, Firebase, Supabase, Node.js, and WordPress. For other stacks, we can still do the audit and documentation — but may recommend specialists for the actual fixes.
If you need ongoing development after the rescue, yes. Many rescue clients become long-term retainer clients. But there's no obligation — the handover is designed to be complete even if we never work together again.
