Code audit, £250 + VAT. A written report, a call and a fixed price for each fix, within five working days.
Take it on
Other people's code is our favourite kind of problem
Your developer's left. Your agency has gone quiet. The system's fifteen years old and the business runs on it. Most companies would rather quote you for a rebuild. We'd rather read the code first.
You'll be talking to one of us, not a salesperson.
Want it checked first?
Sound familiar?
The developer has left
All the knowledge went with them, and possibly the passwords.
It's stuck on an old version
Old PHP, an old framework, and everyone's afraid to touch it.
It's really old
COBOL, Access, things that predate most of your staff. We've seen them.
It's a scabby old WordPress site
Thirty plugins, an ancient theme, and everyone's scared to press Update.
AI built it
It works in the demo. You'd like to know whether it works with real customers.
Your agency disappeared
Or doubled the price, or stopped answering. We hear this one a lot.
First, we read it.
Before anyone promises anything, we go through the code, the database and how it's hosted. AI has made this far quicker. It can walk a codebase nobody has understood in years and tell us where to look. Then an experienced developer does the looking.
That's our code audit, £250 + VAT. You get a plain English report of what's good, what's bad and what's frightening, and a fixed price for each thing worth fixing. You choose what to do. If the honest answer is to leave it alone, that's what we'll tell you.
Keep it, fix it or replace it?
People expect a software company to say replace it. We usually don't. Working software, however ugly, knows things about your business that nobody wrote down, and a rewrite throws all of that away.
Most of the time the right answer is to make it safe, get it on something modern and improve it a piece at a time, while the business carries on using it. Sometimes it really has had its day, and then we'll build the replacement and move you across without a gap.
Either way, once we've got it, we look after it.
Don't be embarrassed about what you've got. Every system I've ever opened has something odd in it, and I've written plenty of odd code myself. It kept your business running, and that counts for a lot. Send it over and we'll have a look.
They've built 20+ sites for us, in addition to taking on our legacy websites, upgrading and maintaining.
Old code, old server
They usually come as a pair. Rob's guide to life after CentOS 7 covers the server side, and this PHP security post shows what running old versions can cost you.
Tell us what you've got
It goes straight to Rob and Jase. You'll hear back from one of us, usually the same day, and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right people.
