    Can TRSC Repair My Website?

    Yes. TRSC repairs most common website errors, functionality problems, security issues, mobile-display problems, and performance failures. We work with major website platforms as well as custom-built sites.

    The first step is a free assessment. We review the visible problem, determine what access and investigation may be required, and tell you whether the website can reasonably be repaired. If the problem cannot be fixed within the website platform or hosting environment, we will explain the limitation and recommend the safest next step.

    Short answer: Website repair identifies and corrects errors that prevent a website from loading, displaying, collecting leads, processing orders, or working as intended. The best repair addresses the underlying cause rather than temporarily hiding the symptom.

    Website Problems We Repair

    Website Down or Not Loading

    We investigate server errors, expired domains, DNS problems, hosting failures, broken deployments, and configuration issues that can make an entire website unavailable.

    Broken Pages and Error Messages

    We repair missing pages, blank screens, 404 errors, 500 errors, redirect loops, broken templates, and pages that stopped working after an update.

    Contact Forms Not Working

    We diagnose forms that fail to submit, send messages to the wrong address, trigger spam errors, or stop delivering leads to your inbox or CRM.

    Slow Website Performance

    We investigate oversized images, unnecessary scripts, theme or plugin problems, hosting limitations, broken caching, and other causes of slow page loads.

    Mobile Layout Problems

    We correct overlapping text, cropped images, broken menus, buttons that cannot be tapped, and layouts that fail on phones or tablets.

    Hacked or Compromised Websites

    Where the platform and access permit, we identify malicious files or code, remove the infection, close the vulnerability, reset compromised access, and help restore search-engine trust.

    SSL, Domain, and DNS Errors

    We troubleshoot security-certificate warnings, domain connection problems, incorrect DNS records, redirect conflicts, and www/non-www inconsistencies.

    Broken Online Stores

    We repair product-display problems, cart errors, checkout failures, payment integration issues, shipping-rule problems, and other e-commerce disruptions.

    Content and Image Display Problems

    We fix missing images, broken links, formatting errors, unreadable text, misplaced content, and visual problems introduced by platform or theme changes.

    Tracking and Integration Problems

    We troubleshoot broken analytics, Google Tag Manager, pixels, booking tools, embedded forms, email integrations, maps, chat tools, and approved third-party services.

    What Website Platforms Do We Repair?

    TRSC repairs websites on the following platforms, subject to the access and technical controls each platform provides:

    WordPress
    WooCommerce
    Wix
    Squarespace
    Shopify
    Duda
    Webflow
    Joomla
    Custom HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React websites
    Other hosted or custom platforms after an initial review

    WordPress provides deeper access to files, themes, plugins, and databases than many closed website builders. Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and similar hosted platforms may limit which underlying systems can be changed. If a platform restriction prevents a direct repair, we will identify the restriction and recommend the most practical alternative.

    How Our Website Repair Process Works

    1

    Free Assessment

    Tell us what is happening and when the problem began. We review the visible symptoms and determine which website, hosting, domain, or platform access may be needed.

    2

    Diagnosis and Estimate

    We look for the underlying cause and explain what we found. Before paid repair work begins, you receive an estimated number of hours or a clearly defined next step.

    3

    Backup, Repair, and Testing

    When the platform permits, we create a backup or recovery point before making changes. We complete the repair in a safe environment whenever practical and test the affected pages, forms, features, browsers, and mobile layouts.

    4

    Repair Summary and Prevention

    After the work is complete, we tell you what caused the problem, what was changed, and what can reduce the chance of it happening again.

    How Much Does Website Repair Cost?

    Website repair is billed at $25 per hour, following a free initial assessment. Before beginning paid work, we provide a time estimate based on the visible symptoms, platform, available access, and complexity of the problem.

    Many isolated problems — such as a broken form, display error, redirect problem, or configuration issue — can be corrected within a few hours. Malware cleanup, database recovery, extensive mobile repairs, and problems involving several systems generally require more time.

    What affects repair time?

    The website platform and hosting environment
    Whether administrator, hosting, domain, or server access is available
    Whether a current backup exists
    Whether the issue affects one page or the entire website
    Whether malware or unauthorized access is involved
    Whether third-party software or account access is part of the failure
    Whether the existing website has been updated and maintained

    If we cannot complete the agreed repair, you will not be charged for unsuccessful repair work. Fees may still apply to separately approved diagnostics, recovery work, or completed repairs outside the original issue.

    WordPress Website Repair

    WordPress problems are among the most common website-repair requests we receive. Because WordPress websites depend on hosting, a database, themes, plugins, PHP, user permissions, and frequent updates, one conflict can affect the entire website.

    TRSC can diagnose and repair:

    WordPress white screens and critical errors
    Plugin conflicts
    Broken themes and page builders
    Failed WordPress or PHP updates
    Hacked WordPress websites and malware
    Database connection and corruption problems
    WooCommerce cart and checkout errors
    Broken forms and email-delivery problems
    Slow WordPress websites
    Redirect loops and login problems
    SSL and mixed-content warnings
    Mobile layout and accessibility problems
    Backup and restoration failures

    Can you repair a hacked WordPress website?

    Yes, in many cases. A proper WordPress malware repair involves more than deleting the visible malicious file. We investigate how the website was compromised, remove malicious code, update vulnerable software, change affected credentials, review administrator accounts, and add reasonable security protections. If the infection or hosting environment makes a clean recovery unsafe, we may recommend restoring a verified backup or rebuilding the site.

    Do you have to host the WordPress website?

    No. We can assess and repair a WordPress website hosted by another company, provided you can authorize and supply the required access. After the repair, we can also discuss ongoing hosting and maintenance if you no longer want to manage updates, backups, security, and recurring problems yourself.

    Should You Repair or Replace Your Website?

    Not every broken website needs to be replaced. A focused repair is usually the better choice when the website is fundamentally sound and the problem is isolated.

    Repair may be the better choice when:

    The issue began recently
    Only one page, form, feature, or integration is affected
    The website still reflects your brand and services
    The platform is supported and reasonably secure
    A reliable backup exists
    The estimated repair cost is substantially lower than replacement

    Replacement may be the better choice when:

    The website repeatedly breaks after repairs
    It relies on abandoned themes, plugins, or unsupported software
    It has been hacked more than once
    The design is outdated or difficult to use on mobile devices
    Important pages cannot be edited without breaking the site
    The website is slow even after reasonable optimization
    It no longer represents your business, services, or brand
    Repairing it would cost nearly as much as building a better website

    We will not recommend a new website simply because the current one is broken. We diagnose the problem first. If repairing the site is poor value, we explain why and show you the replacement options before you decide.

    Don't Want to Keep Fixing the Old Website?

    If the current website has become expensive, unreliable, difficult to update, or dependent on outdated software, TRSC can replace it with a custom React website that we host, maintain, and update for you.

    Website Repair FAQs

    What is website repair?
    Website repair is the process of diagnosing and correcting technical, security, display, performance, or functionality problems on an existing website. It can include repairing broken pages, forms, menus, databases, integrations, mobile layouts, online stores, hosting configurations, or compromised files.
    How much does website repair cost?
    TRSC website repair is billed at $25 per hour after a free initial assessment. The total cost depends on the platform, the cause of the problem, the access available, and the amount of testing or recovery required. We provide an estimate before beginning paid repair work.
    How quickly can you repair a website?
    Many isolated website problems can be repaired within 24 to 48 hours after the required access is received. Major outages, malware infections, database failures, third-party integrations, and problems involving a hosting provider may take longer. Priority assistance may be available for websites that are completely down, hacked, or unable to accept orders or leads.
    Do you offer emergency website repair?
    Yes. TRSC prioritizes critical problems such as a completely unavailable website, a hacked site, a broken checkout, or a lead form that has stopped working. Call 614-482-2126 and explain the impact of the problem. Response time depends on availability, access, platform limitations, and issue complexity.
    What types of websites do you repair?
    TRSC repairs WordPress, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Duda, Webflow, Joomla, React, and custom-coded websites. Some hosted platforms limit access to their underlying systems, so the free assessment determines what can be repaired directly.
    Can you repair a website built by another company?
    Yes. You do not need to be an existing TRSC client, and we do not need to have built the website. You must be able to authorize the work and provide the necessary website, hosting, domain, or platform access.
    Can you repair a hacked website?
    In many cases, yes. We can assess the visible damage, identify malicious changes where access permits, clean affected files or content, close known vulnerabilities, update compromised credentials, and recommend security improvements. Severe infections may require restoration from a clean backup or a website rebuild.
    Will you back up the website before repairing it?
    When the platform and available access allow it, we create a backup or recovery point before changing files, databases, themes, plugins, or configuration. Some hosted platforms manage backups internally or restrict independent backups; in those cases, we use the safest recovery controls the platform provides.
    Do you guarantee that every website can be repaired?
    No company can responsibly guarantee that every website is recoverable. A website may depend on unsupported software, inaccessible accounts, corrupted data, missing backups, or platform systems that outside developers cannot control. The free assessment helps determine whether repair is realistic before you commit to paid work.
    Is website repair different from a website redesign?
    Yes. Website repair restores something that is broken or malfunctioning. A redesign changes the site's appearance, structure, messaging, usability, or technology. A website may need both when technical problems are combined with an outdated design or an unsupported platform.
    Is it better to repair or replace an old website?
    Repair is generally better when the problem is isolated and the website remains secure, editable, and useful. Replacement is often better when the site repeatedly fails, relies on unsupported software, has serious security problems, performs poorly on mobile devices, or would cost nearly as much to repair as to rebuild.
    Do you provide maintenance after the repair?
    Yes. One-time repair does not require an ongoing plan. If you want continued hosting, updates, monitoring, technical support, SEO, AEO, or content services, TRSC can recommend an ongoing package after the repair is complete.
    Do you only repair websites in Columbus, Ohio?
    No. The Real Social Company is based in Columbus and provides website repair for businesses locally and nationwide. Most diagnosis and repair work can be completed remotely when the necessary access is available.

    What we've actually seen

    Most 'website is broken' calls are actually plugin conflicts, expired SSLs, DNS misconfigurations, or a single bad theme update. The fix is usually under 2 hours.

    Where most projects go wrong

    Owners panic and pay for emergency rebuilds. We've talked dozens of Columbus business owners off that ledge.

    Our take

    Diagnose first, then fix. Hourly billing keeps us honest — we have no incentive to inflate the work.
