Cost-effective Maintenance

Cost-effective Maintenance

We provide a cost-effective way of maintaining and enhancing your legacy website, so you can keep using it beyond the point at which it would normally have to be replaced. This means you can consider redevelopment on a timescale that suits your needs.

Custom Solutions

Custom Solutions

We will work within the requirements and constraints of your legacy system - all legacy sites have their own features and typically feature some custom code. We will get to know it in detail, so we can work efficiently with your site.

Legacy Systems Expertise

Performance

Performance issues can result from a website becoming outdated and overloaded with historical content, assets and data. Improving load metrics, speeding up your legacy system and generally enhancing usability can prolong the useful life of your site.

Security

Security

Older websites and legacy systems are prone to security issues. We have experience in helping to address those issues and know how to mitigate the risks of running older code or content management systems, as well as how to fix security issues. 

Refactoring Code

Refactoring Code

Refactoring of code means rewriting it to improve its structure without modifying its behaviour. This can help make your older websites easier to develop and maintain. When this is the appropriate action, we are happy to refactor outdated code. This can prolong the life of your site before an upgrade is needed.

We can modify the theme to update the look and feel, and change the functionality of a website to add new features.
