Website Repair & Maintenance

We Fix Ugly Websites!
Do you have a website that does not look right or have the wrong info? Do you have a SquareSpace or Wix site that you want turned into a real website? We have seen some pretty bad sites. We can get your site cleaned up both the look and the HTML and Javascript code used to create the site.

If you website was hacked, we can clean it up or rebuild it. Having backup copies makes it easy, but we can still get the site fixed without them. We even also have recovered websites that have been deleted.
