FMG Digital · Website recovery

Website repair for sites that broke after the last change.

A website can be visually broken, technically broken or commercially broken. We diagnose the failure before making more changes: what changed, what stopped working, what search value is at risk and what can be repaired without creating another problem.

WEBSITE RECOVERY

We start with the problem.

Website recovery needs the same discipline as hardware repair: identify the symptom, isolate the cause, protect what still works, then change the smallest necessary surface. Random edits can turn one bug into five.

Website repair Johannesburg: the way we approach it

A website can be visually broken, technically broken or commercially broken. We diagnose the failure before making more changes: what changed, what stopped working, what search value is at risk and what can be repaired without creating another problem.

Do not redesign while the site is on fire

When traffic drops or the layout breaks, the first job is recovery and evidence preservation. A full redesign can wait until the cause is understood.

SEO damage can be created by technically “working” pages

A page can load perfectly in a browser while sending the wrong canonical, returning the wrong status code or disappearing from the sitemap. Website repair includes those invisible failure modes.

Mobile overflow is a real usability fault

A single wide grid, fixed-width form or header item can make the entire page scroll sideways. We fix the element causing the overflow rather than simply hiding the scrollbar.

No theatre: we do not invent ranking guarantees, fake traffic projections or generic “SEO scores” to pressure a sale. Where data is available, the recommendation should be tied to evidence.

Questions
