Service 02 · Flagship

Unf-ck your static / cms website.

The flagship rescue. WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, or something handcoded by the last developer who left. Rescue, rebuild, or migrate, a small, simple brochure site rebuilds for £1,500–£3,000 in 1–2 weeks, internally audited by us to a 90+ score before launch. Bigger or deeper scope is quoted from the full-audit findings.

Platforms

Whatever you're on. we've seen worse.

30 years means very few combinations of platform, plugin and cowboy manoeuvre are new to us. Here are the most common starting points, yours is probably one of them.

  • 01

    WordPress

    Page-builder bloat, plugin debt, admin lock-in, all typical.

  • 02

    Squarespace

    Hitting the plan-up wall. Can we keep it or move it?

  • 03

    Webflow

    Inherited from a designer who's left. We stabilise, sometimes migrate.

  • 04

    Hand-rolled

    The previous developer is unreachable. We take it on.

  • 05

    Static / Jamstack

    Astro, Next, Hugo, Eleventy. We speak all of them.

What you actually get

Seven outcomes. all non-negotiable.

These are floors, not ceilings. If any of them aren't true at launch, we haven't finished.

  • 01

    Internal pre-launch audit

    Every rebuild is audited by us against the same 100-check framework we sell clients. 90+ score across every category, or it doesn't ship. Not aspirational, the condition of launch.

  • 02

    Fixed-price scope

    The quote is the price. We write the scope in plain English before you commit, and if it changes we agree it before we bill for it.

  • 03

    CMS you can actually edit

    The non-technical person in your business can change copy, swap images, and publish posts without breaking layout. Demo-able in a 10-minute session.

  • 04

    Ownership, end-to-end

    Your domain, your hosting account, your repo, your analytics. Everything in your name. No hostage scenario. Hand over to anyone.

  • 05

    Performance that passes

    Lighthouse 95+ on mobile. LCP under 2.5s on 4G. Core Web Vitals green. These are minimums, not stretch targets.

  • 06

    Accessibility baseline

    WCAG 2.2 AA as standard. Keyboard navigable throughout. Legal exposure closed. Users with assistive tech can actually use it.

  • 07

    SEO that doesn't regress

    Redirect map built and tested before cutover. Search Console resubmitted. Rankings we worked hard for don't evaporate overnight.

FAQs

The honest answers. including the awkward ones.

Missing a question? Email it. We'll answer it and add it here.

Should we rescue the current site or rebuild from scratch?
We'll tell you during the audit. Rough rule: if more than 60% of the site needs to change, rebuild is faster and usually cheaper. Under that, rescue the bones and upgrade the parts that matter. We quote both options when the answer isn't obvious so you can choose on full info.
What if the site is on a platform you don't usually work with?
Most SME sites run on WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, or a hand-coded stack, we cover all of those. Weirder platforms (Drupal, Joomla, Craft, Sitecore) we'll look at and tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we either bring in a trusted, vetted specialist who is (with us staying alongside) or point you at someone better placed. We don't bluff competence we don't have.
Can we keep our current content and design?
Usually yes. Rescue starts from what you have. We keep what works. If the design is salvageable we keep it; if it isn't we'll say so and show you what a refresh looks like at no extra fee.
How fast is fast? You keep saying days or weeks.
Audit + rescue for a typical 10–20 page SME site: two to three weeks from kickoff. Straight rebuilds: three to four. Bigger or more complex sites go longer but you get an honest fixed timeline, not a Gantt-chart fantasy.
What if we're in a dispute with the previous agency?
We can work alongside that. The audit can be structured as technical evidence for your solicitor, cited to agreed standards, signed, formatted so a non-technical reader can follow it. Acting as technical expert in the dispute itself is case-by-case; we decide together whether it's the right fit. Full details on the audits page.
Do you subcontract anything?
Not for core delivery. Every line of code, every design choice and every piece of copy comes from a senior at Unf-ck, accelerated by AI. No juniors, no offshore team, no white-label agency we're fronting for. The one exception: if a specific finding is outside our confidence, legal-evidence expert witnessing, regulated-industry compliance, niche-platform deep expertise, we're upfront about it and bring in a vetted specialist alongside us. You always know who's doing what, and you never pay twice for overlap.
