Our recovery process
Call, email, or fill out our contact form with what's happening. We ask a few quick questions to understand the urgency and scope.
Within the hour, we identify the root cause — malware, a bad update, a database error, a lockout — and tell you exactly what's wrong and what it will cost to fix.
We restore from backup or repair in place, whichever gets you back online faster and more safely. Most emergencies are resolved the same day.
Once you're back up, we explain what caused the issue and how to stop it from happening again, with the option to move to ongoing protection.
FAQs
We aim to respond to all emergency requests within 1 hour during business hours (9am–6pm CST). For clients on our Growth or Pro maintenance plans, we provide after-hours emergency support as well.
Emergency support is quoted per incident: most single-issue fixes cost $197–$397. Complex emergencies (severe hacks, major database corruption) are quoted after initial diagnosis. Maintenance plan clients receive discounted emergency rates.
Yes, we can attempt recovery even without backups — though the outcome depends on the severity of the damage. This is why we strongly recommend our maintenance plans, which include daily backups so recovery is always straightforward.
The most common causes are: a bad plugin or theme update (40%), a plugin conflict (25%), server/hosting issues (20%), security compromises (10%), and accidental file deletion or database issues (5%).
Anything that takes your site offline or puts it at risk: a white screen of death, a hack or malware infection, a broken update, a database error, a lockout from wp-admin, or a site that's suddenly and severely slow. If your site isn't working the way it should and it's costing you customers, it qualifies. See our guide to common WordPress errors for what to check first.
Most sites that are completely down come back online within a few hours of us starting work, often faster for straightforward issues like a bad plugin update. Severe cases, like major hacks or extensive database corruption, can take longer, but we give you a realistic timeline after diagnosis, not before.
