Project Takeover

We start with what you control: the domain, the hosting and your own accounts. When accounts are registered to you or your company, access can often be regained through the providers, which is why we check ownership first.

Laravel, PHP, WordPress, Shopify, Magento, React and Next.js, mobile apps and others. If your stack is less common, tell us and we will say honestly whether we have the right people for it.

Yes. We change nothing in production until we have access, working backups and a clear picture of how the project is deployed.

The report explains which parts, why, and what carries over. A rebuild is never the default, and the parts that work stay.

No. The report and the documentation are yours, and any team can continue from them.

You do. The code, the intellectual property and everything we deliver are handed over to you under the contract.

Yes, and it is the easiest kind of takeover. We prepare a written list of what to request: the repository with its history, how changes reach production, environment settings and scheduled tasks, third-party accounts, known bugs and open promises, plus one walkthrough call. Requests go through you, in writing, so the handover stays about knowledge, not about the past.

No. The audit price covers collecting the access, the written report, the project documentation and the walkthrough call. When the audit finds something urgent, such as backups that do not restore or leads that stop arriving, we agree each fix with you first and bill it separately at our team rate.

A short account of what the project is, who built it and what is going wrong, and a list of what you can still log into: the domain registrar, the hosting, any code repository, analytics, payment and email accounts. Contracts and invoices from the previous contractor help as well. Gaps are normal; finding them is part of the audit.

Usually not. A product built by the owner with AI tools has different risks: missing access rules, keys left in browser code, no version history. Our MVP review is made for it: from $3,000, with the price fixed before the review starts. If the product was built by an agency or freelancer who is no longer around, the takeover audit is the right start.

Change the passwords and API keys the previous team used and remove their accounts on the same day, including hosting, the repository, analytics and advertising accounts. Then check where every form submission, order notification, error alert and password reset goes: after a handover these often still reach a former contractor or partner. We go through this list with you during the audit.
