I fix broken websites and fragile codebases

Legacy codebase? Random crashes? Cursed pages? Upgrades gone wrong?
I'm the web handyman agencies and business owners keep on speed dial.

I specialise in problems like

  • Fixing AI-generated or legacy spaghetti code
  • Laravel breaking after updates or upgrades
  • Deprecated PHP functions haunting your logs
  • Slow or crashing WordPress sites
  • Fatal errors from rogue plugins
  • 500 Internal Server Errors with no clear cause
  • Memory leaks and performance bottlenecks
  • "No one knows how this works" codebases
  • Eliminating years of technical debt
  • Replacing abandoned packages
  • Switching hosting providers
  • Setting up regular, hands-off maintenance

Fixing your code without burning everything down

I diagnose the problem, isolate it, fix it and stabilise your code pushing for a costly rebuild you probably don't need.

Analyse
I reproduce the issue and trace it through your codebase.
Fix
I implement a focused solution, with rollback safety in place.
Document
I provide a short report by default or a full audit on request.

Under the hood

I use modern tools and workflows to stabilise, maintain, and extend existing PHP projects. No cowboy hacks, no unnecessary rebuilds. I keep what works, fix what's broken, and make it easier to move forward.

PHP improvements

  • Version upgrades (5.6 → 8.4)
  • Modern code practices: Composer, PSR, autoloading
  • Code audits with PHPStan, PHPCSFixer

  • Laravel version upgrades (5.x → 12.x)
  • WordPress, CraftCMS, Statamic

Database & performance

  • MySQL & MariaDB tuning
  • Caching (Redis, OPCache, Memcached, Cloudflare
  • Queue workers (Redis, Rabbit MQ, Amazon SQS)

Servers & DevOps

  • Web servers: Apache & NGINX
  • Shared/VPS hosting (cPanel, Plesk, Kinsta)
  • Containerisation (Docker), CI/CD pipelines

Debugging & monitoring

  • Xdebug for step-through diagnosis
  • Error tracking with Sentry, LogRocket, Bugsnag, Laravel Nightwatch

Collaboration & source Control

  • GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket
  • Code reviews

What clients say when their website finally works again

"I have a WordPress website where one of the pages kept showing a 500 error. I spoke with several agencies—most of them tried to convince me the entire site needed rebuilding from scratch. I contacted PHPFixer, and within an hour he had identified the real issue and gave me a straightforward quote to fix it permanently."

WordPress site owner (UK)

"Our site runs on CraftCMS. One day, I started receiving upgrade warnings, but the original developer who built it said he couldn't help anymore. I brought in PHPFixer and he handled the upgrade smoothly and now manages our maintenance every quarter. He's reliable, easy to work with, and we've had zero downtime since."

Online Marketplace (EU)

"We inherited a legacy Laravel project with no tests, inconsistent code, and fragile deployments. PHPFixer stepped in, cleaned up key parts of the codebase, introduced basic testing, and set up a proper deployment pipeline with Git and staging. It's made a huge difference to our team's confidence and velocity."
