Magento Project Rescue
Your Magento project stalled, your developer disappeared, or the agency quote keeps growing. I audit what you have, stabilise what's broken, and get development moving again — with a clear plan and honest assessment.

Honest Technical Assessment
A full code audit tells you exactly what state the codebase is in — what's salvageable, what's a liability, and what it will really take to finish.
Fast Stabilisation
Critical bugs, security holes, and broken checkout flows get fixed first — the store stops bleeding while the longer plan is agreed.
No Blank-Slate Upsell
If the existing build can be rescued, I say so. Rebuilds are only recommended when the audit proves it's genuinely cheaper than fixing.
What's Included
Common Scenarios
Developer Disappeared
Your developer or agency went quiet mid-project. I pick up the codebase, document what's there, and carry the build forward.
Broken After an Update
An upgrade or extension install broke the store — checkout failing, pages crashing, admin inaccessible. I stabilise it fast.
Project Over Time & Budget
The build has dragged on for months with no launch in sight. I audit, re-scope, and either finish it or tell you honestly if a restart is cheaper.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Magento developer disappeared — can you take over?+
Yes. I start with a code audit to understand what exists, document the current state, then continue development from where it left off. You'll need to provide repository and hosting access.
How do I know if my store can be rescued or needs rebuilding?+
The code audit answers exactly that. Most Magento builds are salvageable — a rebuild is only recommended when the audit shows the technical debt costs more to fix than to start clean.
Can you fix a store that's broken right now?+
Yes — urgent issues like a broken checkout, white-screen errors, or failed upgrades are handled as emergency fixes, usually starting within days.
What do you need to start a Magento rescue?+
Access to the codebase (Git), hosting/server, and Magento admin. If your previous developer didn't hand these over, I can help you recover access through your hosting provider.
