CH 00Rescuefor the site nobody wants to touch

We support sites we didn't build. Whoever built them.

Every rescued site starts the same way: someone finally says out loud that they don't know what's under the hood anymore. That admission is the hard part. The rest is engineering.

The tow line holds — hover to raise the beam

CH 01

You're here because

four familiar signs

Your Drupal is 7, 8, or 9

All past end of life — no security releases, and every month makes the eventual move bigger. Drupal 7 alone still runs hundreds of thousands of sites whose owners are being quoted rebuild prices as ransom.

The person who built it is gone

The agency folded, the freelancer moved on, the docs were never written. What you have is a black box that happens to be your website.

Updates stopped being applied

Somewhere along the way patching got scary, so it stopped. Now the gap between installed and current is itself the risk.

Everyone quotes you a rebuild

Sometimes right, often lazy. A real assessment separates 'this needs a migration' from 'this needs six focused fixes' — before you commit to either.

How a rescue runs

assessment first, always

01 / The assessment

Fixed price, written findings. What you actually have, module by module — what’s urgent, what’s fine, what it honestly costs to make it boring again. Yours to keep whoever you hire.

02 / The stabilization

Security gaps closed first, backups proven restorable, monitoring turned on. The bleeding stops before the surgery is scheduled.

03 / The path

A costed roadmap — to Drupal 11 when migration is right, to a supported steady state when it isn’t. Then Peace of Mind keeps it from ever getting this way again.

Rescue assessment — $1,500 flat

Written findings, and the fee credits toward the work. See the full diagnostics ladder for the performance, checkout, and upgrade variants.

CH 02.5Straight answersasked by every rescue, answered once

Can an abandoned Drupal 7 site still be rescued?

Yes. Past end-of-life doesn't mean past saving — it means the order of operations matters: security gaps first, proven backups second, then the costed path to Drupal 11 or a supported steady state. A monolithic D7 with millions of nodes has made that trip with every record intact.

Do I have to rebuild from scratch?

Not always — and anyone who says so before an assessment is guessing with your money. The $1,500 assessment separates "this needs a migration" from "this needs six focused fixes," in writing, before you commit to either. Aftercare lives in the Peace of Mind maintenance program so it never gets this way again.

Let's get you to open water

The URL, whatever version you think it is, and what finally prompted this. Think of a rescue like a portage: heavy for a stretch, then the lake opens up. Nobody here will make you feel bad about the state of it — rough shape is the whole business.
