Veterinary pharma group: three years across its seven WordPress sites
Since 2023 I've built page modules, campaigns, an event calendar, new sections and a group-wide typography change across a vet pharma group's seven WordPress sites.
Service
Support & maintenance
Updates, fixes and small features on sites that earn money every day. Before any change I make a backup and a copy, and after it you get a short note of what changed.
Most of a site’s life happens after the launch. Plugins update, PHP versions change, a form stops sending, a payment method fails.
How I work on a running site
- Backup first. Files and database, before any change.
- Staging first. Updates and fixes go to a copy, then to production.
- Find the cause. I look in the logs, the queries and the plugins until I know why it broke, and fix that.
- Write it down. What changed and why, so the next person knows. Or me, a year later.
Result
What you get
-
Updates on a copy first
Core, theme and plugins. If an update breaks something, it breaks there, not for your visitors.
-
Problems fixed at the cause
A frozen admin, mail that stops, a broken checkout. I find the cause and write it down, so it doesn't come back.
-
A developer who knows your site
The next request goes to someone who already has the context.
In practice
Where I did this: 30 clients
A Bricks Builder update that broke the layout, and the repair
After a Bricks update the manufacturer's site lost its layout. I found the dropped styles and checked eight pages against the original.
Forms that failed now and then, fixed at the cause
Contact and referral forms failed now and then. I found the page cache behind it and fixed both form pages, while the rest of the site stayed cached.
WordPress support for a German timber merchant's site
Two support cases on a timber merchant's WordPress site. I traced an admin hang on a copy, reopened a locked admin and measured why updates kept failing.
ExpertSure & Ecopreneurist: WordPress sites, plugins and a store
Since 2023 I've been the developer of a UK publisher's comparison sites: merged installs, custom plugins, fixes and a domain store.
A holiday-rental site made fast and fixed on iPad
On iPad the main photo was missing and the home page weighed 13 MB. I found both causes, brought the page down to about 2 MB and removed the need for a cookie banner.
A manufacturer's old WordPress site, new TYPO3 site and domain move
I looked after a metalworking company's old WordPress site, filled and tested its new TYPO3 site, and moved the domain to the new site with the mail intact.
A plugin with a critical security hole removed, then an update plan
I removed a backup plugin with a critical vulnerability from a small business's WordPress site, connected the site to the agency's management service and gave the agency an ordered update plan.
FAQ
What clients ask me
Can we work month to month?
Yes. Some clients send tasks as they come, others book a set number of hours a month.
Someone else built our site. Is that a problem?
No. Most sites I support were built by someone else. I start with a backup, a staging copy and a short look at what is there.
Jobs start at €100. For a site I don't know yet, a Site check is €100, and it counts toward the work.
