Website help

Something wrong with your website? We'll figure it out.

Tell us what you're seeing. We look at the site, the code, the database and the server, because the answer is usually in one of them and rarely where people expect.

Tell us what's going on

Every field is required unless it says optional.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

You're probably here for one of these.

None of it is unusual. All of it is fixable, and most of it is quicker to diagnose than people expect.

A white screen or a critical error

The site loads nothing, or an email from WordPress says there has been a critical error and gives you no detail.

It worked yesterday

An update ran, a plugin changed, somebody edited a page, and now something else is broken.

Checkout is failing

Orders stop halfway, payments decline that shouldn't, or the cart empties itself.

Forms and order emails vanish

The form says thank you and nothing arrives. That's almost never a form problem.

The site is crawling

Slow for visitors, slow in the admin, or slow only at certain times of day.

Strange behavior nobody can explain

Redirects to somewhere else, pages you didn't write, a browser warning, admin users you don't recognize.

Nobody will take responsibility

The developer blames the host, the host blames the plugin, and the plugin author hasn't replied in a week.

Why the boundaries matter.

A website is a stack: the code, the CMS and its plugins, the database, PHP, the web server, DNS, certificates and mail delivery. Most of the hard problems live where two of those meet, which is exactly where a specialist in one of them stops looking.

We look before we quoteWe find out what is actually wrong first. You get the cause and what it takes to fix it, and then you decide.
We read the evidenceError logs, server logs, database state and the change history. Not guesses, and not a plugin swapped out to see what happens.
We work across the whole stackApplication, database, server, DNS, certificates and mail are all the same team here, so a problem crossing two of them doesn't become two vendors pointing at each other.
We don't touch the live site firstDiagnosis happens in logs and on a copy. Live changes get scheduled for a quiet hour.

Sites we look after, live right now.

All our work

Every one of these is a live client website. Open them and judge the work yourself.

Why Oogle.

Since 1999

Oogle has been working on the web since 1999, through every way of building a website that has come and gone since.

Founder-led

Christopher Neuman started the company and still runs it. The people who scope your work are the people who do it.

The whole stack

Design, development, hosting and infrastructure in one place, so a problem that crosses two of them doesn't become two vendors pointing at each other.

Clients worldwide

We work with clients worldwide.

We stay

Most of our clients have been with us for years. We aren't looking for a project to hand over and leave.

How this goes.

  1. 01

    Tell us what's going on

    In your own words. Error text and a rough time are worth more than a diagnosis.

  2. 02

    We take a look

    We reproduce it, read the logs and find the cause.

  3. 03

    We tell you what it needs

    What broke, why, what it takes, and what it'll cost. In writing.

  4. 04

    We handle it

    You approve it and we do the work. Nothing gets billed before you agree to it.

Before you write.

We don't know what the site is built on.

Say so. We can tell from the outside in about a minute.

Do we have to move hosting to you?

No. Most of the sites we support are hosted somewhere else and stay there.

The person who built our site has disappeared.

That's a common way people reach us. We can usually get back in without them.

What if we don't have the passwords?

Tell us what you do have. There's almost always a way back in through the host or the registrar.

Describe it in a sentence.

You don't need to diagnose it first. That part is our job.
