The challenge
The website was built years ago by someone who had since moved on. It mostly worked, so nobody touched it. Meanwhile, the software underneath kept getting older.
What we did
- Backed it up firstA full backup, so nothing could be lost while we worked.
- Found out what it runs onWe listed the parts the site depends on and which ones were out of date.
- Looked for weak spotsWith the owner's permission, we ran authorized scans and reviewed what we found.
- Fixed and verifiedThe most urgent issues were patched first, and each fix was tested and checked.
- A clear plan for the restKeep, update or rebuild, explained in plain words so the owner could decide.
What changed
The owner now knows exactly what the site runs on, the most urgent gaps are closed, and there's a clear plan for the rest.
What this means for you
An older website can still be a good website. It just needs someone to look after it. A careful check tells you whether to patch it, update it or start fresh.
