Technical issues

At Kakadoo, we not only create websites from scratch, but also work with existing projects. We often get clients who already have a website, but it doesn't work as it should: it takes a long time to load, looks outdated, is made on a template that is difficult to edit. Or they just want to «pump up» the current resource without starting from scratch.

Below are answers to the most common technical questions we get asked. We've gathered everything that's important to know if you already have a website, but want to make it better.

I already have a website. Can you refine it?

Yes, we are engaged in finalising existing sites, both visually and functionally. This can be a light redesign or a complete overhaul of the structure. We:

  • Analyse the current structure and UX of the site;
  • check the technical state (speed, errors, outdated plugins);
  • adapt to modern standards (layout, mobile version);
  • optimise content and SEO settings;
  • introduce new blocks, forms, buttons, sliders and other elements;
  • improve the visuals and user journey.

If you have a site on WordPress - we connect to the administration panel and work carefully, keeping everything important. If the site is on another platform - we assess the possibilities of working within the current engine or offer a transfer.

Often a website revision is just what you need to breathe new life into it without a complete redesign. Especially if it is already indexed, has a position in Google and is recognisable to customers.

Yes, we often do template tweaking or fixing issues in a WordPress template. We understand that it's not always possible to order a custom website from scratch right away. But that doesn't mean you have to put up with inconveniences, bugs and limitations.

What we're doing:

  • find and eliminate conflicts in the template and plugins;
  • improve the page structure without completely changing the theme;
  • styling blocks to match the corporate style;
  • customise the editable sections so you're comfortable changing content;
  • adapt to mobile devices and new browsers;
  • translate templates into the required language, if the template was originally English-language.

Working with a template is not a «leftover repair». We treat it with care and respect for your resource. Even within a limited framework, you can do a lot - and we know how.

This is one of the most common complaints, especially among owners of sites made 2-3 years ago. If a website takes a long time to load, it affects not only user experience but also SEO. Google takes speed into account as a ranking factor. Users will not wait - they will leave for competitors.

We conduct a website performance audit, which includes:

  • speed analysis via PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, Web.dev;
  • checking image and video uploads;
  • checking the quality of hosting;
  • CSS and JavaScript optimisation;
  • implementation of caching and lazy loading;
  • CDN configuration and file compression;
  • Recommendations for moving to a lighter topic or optimising content.

Sometimes speeding up a site is just a matter of a couple of days. Sometimes you need to «clean up» the entire backend. In any case, we will offer real solutions, not just «make it a little faster».

Yes, and we do it in a careful, lossless manner. You may need to migrate your site to another hosting for many reasons:

  • The current hosting has become too slow;
  • uncomfortable control panel;
  • poor support or outdated software;
  • need a European server to increase speed in a particular region;
  • relocation as part of technical optimisation.

We take full charge:

  • file and database transfer;
  • to set up a new control panel;
  • mail transfer (if any);
  • testing on new hosting before launching;
  • reconfiguration of the domain and SSL certificate;
  • checking the functionality of the site and all forms.

You won't notice the «move» - the site will remain in place, but it will become faster, more stable and more reliable. We will also help you choose a new hosting service: taking into account price, server location, support and additional options. Technical issues are not about «somewhere in the code», but about the real efficiency of the site. We at Kakadoo know how to not only build, but also refine, optimise, improve, accelerate and migrate. We have the experience, the team and the approach to make your site work better - and bring results! Don't be afraid to ask us to refine what's already there. Sometimes an old site can be made into the perfect platform for growth. Write to us and we'll show you exactly how to do it in your case!
