My website is not working — fast fix or rebuild from £90
Is your website down, broken, showing errors, or not performing? Every hour your site isn't working, you're losing enquiries and revenue. OWD can assess your situation, fix what's fixable, or rebuild your site from scratch on secure UK hosting — from £90 one-off.
No more WordPress headaches. No more hosting downtime. No more paying developers by the hour to patch problems that keep coming back.
COMMON WEBSITE PROBLEMS WE FIX
SECTION_02 // FIX OR REBUILD?
Stop patching. Start fresh — for less than you think.
If your website keeps breaking, it's a symptom of a deeper problem — usually cheap hosting, an outdated WordPress installation, or both. Paying a developer £150/hr to patch the same issues repeatedly isn't just expensive; it's throwing money at a problem that will keep coming back.
OWD offers a better alternative: a full website rebuild from scratch on our managed UK cloud infrastructure. You get a fast, modern, properly built website that doesn't rely on WordPress, doesn't need plugin updates, and doesn't break when your hosting company has an outage.
From £90 one-off. Typically live in 2–5 working days. Your content is recovered from the broken site, your branding is maintained, and your new site is optimised for Google from day one. No ongoing technical fees.
If your site just needs a specific fix — SSL renewal, contact form repair, domain renewal — we can often sort that quickly and advise you on whether a longer-term rebuild makes sense.

Website not working — frequently asked questions
My website is not working — what should I do?
First, check if it's a hosting issue by visiting downdetector.com or using a "is my website down?" checker tool. If the site is down for everyone, contact your hosting provider. If it's a design or technical issue, contact OWD — we can assess the problem and either fix or rebuild your site quickly, typically within 2–5 days.
Why has my website suddenly stopped working?
The most common causes are: hosting server outage, expired domain name, expired SSL certificate, WordPress update that broke plugins, a plugin conflict, a corrupted database, or a hack/malware infection. If you're on cheap shared hosting, unexpected downtime is common — it's one of the main reasons OWD uses managed UK cloud infrastructure for all client websites.
My WordPress website has a critical error — can it be fixed?
WordPress "critical errors" are usually caused by a plugin conflict, a failed WordPress core update, or PHP compatibility issues. In many cases they can be resolved, but if your site has been running on cheap hosting with outdated plugins for years, a rebuild is often faster, cheaper, and more reliable than repeated patch-fix cycles. OWD can rebuild your site from scratch from £90.
How much does it cost to fix a broken website?
Freelancers charge £50–£200/hr to debug WordPress issues with no guarantee of success. OWD offers a complete rebuild from £90 one-off — you get a new, properly built website that won't keep breaking. For ongoing fixes and maintenance, we offer website maintenance plans that keep your site updated and working.
My website is slow and not working properly — why?
Slow or unreliable websites are almost always a hosting problem. Cheap shared hosting means your site shares server resources with hundreds of other sites — when they spike, you suffer. OWD hosts all client sites on dedicated UK cloud infrastructure with guaranteed performance, uptime monitoring, and fast page load speeds.
My website contact form has stopped working — what's wrong?
Contact form failures are usually caused by: changes to your email server settings, spam filter blocks on your hosting provider, a WordPress plugin update that broke the form, or a misconfigured DNS record. OWD can fix this quickly, or rebuild your site with a properly configured contact form that reliably delivers enquiries to your inbox.
My website SSL certificate has expired — what does this mean?
An expired SSL certificate causes browsers to show "Not Secure" or a red warning screen — most visitors will leave immediately. This also affects Google rankings, as Google requires HTTPS. OWD renews SSL certificates for clients on our hosting, and every new website we build includes SSL as standard.
Should I rebuild my broken website or try to fix it?
If your site was built on WordPress, is more than 3 years old, has had repeated technical problems, or is on cheap shared hosting, a rebuild is almost always the better investment. OWD rebuilds sites from £90 one-off — you get a faster, more secure, more reliable website that won't require constant maintenance. Compare that to £150/hr+ for a developer to debug old WordPress issues.
