Fix or Replace Your Fargo Business Website?
Does my Fargo website need fixing, or does it need to be replaced? Get the fault identified and compare the repair quote with the rebuild quote. A new site needs a reason beyond the old one being old.
Start with the thing that failed
Email stopped working during a hosting move? A new design may leave you with the same mail problem. Find the fault before choosing the fix.
An expired domain or incorrect DNS records can cause mail trouble. Those are possibilities to investigate, not a diagnosis of a site nobody has checked.
For a website fault, describe what you or the visitor can't do. Maybe a page loads slowly, the form fails, or you can't change the hours.
That description gives the work an end point. You can check the same thing afterward and see whether the repair did its job.
Keep the parts that still work
One broken page isn't a reason to discard every working page. Ask what can stay, what needs changing, and why.
Existing WordPress sites can get updates, hosting work, or a quoted repair here. The service doesn't take on new WordPress builds.
Added plugins can complicate a repair. Ask which ones the fix depends on and what care they'll need afterward. A fresh appearance doesn't answer that question.
Give a rebuild a clear job
A business site with service details and a contact form does different work from an online store. Decide which job you're buying.
To show your work and provide a contact route, consider a semi-static build. Keep that job separate from a store.
Sales, booking, and frequent publishing need their own scope discussion. A basic rebuild shouldn't leave you guessing whether those functions are included.
Compare both quotes against the same needs. What will work when the job is done? What ongoing care does each option require? What's left out?
Count the care after launch
A finished design still needs hosting. Find out who handles backups, updates, and faults after the build is paid for.
The hosting service includes SSL and automated backups. Make those items part of the scope you compare.
Keep email and website work clear during a move. Saving on hosting isn't much of a result if the mail problem is still there.
A repair, a hosting move, or a replacement could be the right answer. The quote should explain why it's the useful choice for your site.
Find out what needs fixing
Send the page link and describe what's going wrong. Ask what would fix it and what that work would cost.
