The site is hacked or defaced on a WordPress site? The fix, scoped

The symptom

A hack costs more than the fix: blacklisting, lost trust and a recovery done twice because the first one missed the backdoor. On a wordpress build the pattern is recognisable from the outside: the money pages exist, the business is real, and the site is quietly failing at the one job it was bought for.

Why it happens on WordPress specifically

Most WordPress work falls into two camps: page-builder sites that collapse under their own weight, and custom builds that stay fast, editable and search-friendly for years. Every engagement starts with a scoped, fixed-price quote, the rate benchmarks on this site are the same numbers used internally.

That is also exactly why the fix is scoped rather than guessed: the wordpress work here starts from the live site, names the causes in writing, and prices the repair before touching anything.

The fix path

1. A written triage: what is actually broken, what it costs to leave it, what the repair touches.
2. The scoped fix on the WordPress service page’s own terms - $1.5k–25k, 2–10 weeks.
3. Preventive wiring after the repair, so the same problem does not get a second invoice: maintenance, performance and monitoring as standing discipline.

What it costs

Every repair is priced against the published rate bands and itemised in the cost calculator. The estimate is instant; the written quote lands in two days, free, whether or not you hire.
