The supplier has left or stopped responding
You need a developer who can understand the site and handle future work after the previous arrangement ended.
Unresponsive supplier · Ended contract · New development partner
We build websites, e-shops and apps
A new team for your website, even when someone else built it
Need to finish a website or restart its development? We look at the current situation and prepare an initial proposal and estimate without obligation. You can see what to keep, what to change and the proposed cost. Our developers have completed 119 projects since 2017.
Why address it
An unsupported website becomes harder to maintain
- Small changes wait for a supplier who no longer responds
- Updates, backups and monitoring may be neglected
- An unfinished website cannot do the job it was commissioned for
- Missing access and documentation make future changes harder
- 119+ delivered projects
- 9+ years of experience
- 5,0★ rating on Google
- 98 % projects delivered on time
Understand the existing website before deciding what to change
Taking over a website starts with understanding how it works and what is causing problems. We do not assume everything needs replacing. We identify working parts, broken features and barriers to maintenance, then recommend repairs, completion or a rebuild with a new content management system.
Typical starting points include a supplier who no longer responds, an admin panel that cannot be used and a prototype built with an AI tool or template. We review the actual code and available access before proposing the next stage. You speak directly with the developer taking over the work.
For ongoing care after the takeover, explore packages from EUR 290 with our website maintenance service.
If the site works but needs a clearer structure and updated design, consider website redesign.
For an existing Laravel application, see our dedicated Laravel project rescue service.
Who we help
Three common starting points
Whether the site came from a freelancer, agency or AI tool, we start with its current condition and agree the scope before changes.
The website is unfinished or difficult to use
The admin panel is broken, changes are difficult or the site is incomplete. We assess whether to repair, finish or rebuild the affected parts.
Broken admin · Slow pages · Unfinished features
An AI-generated or template-based prototype
A prototype from Lovable, Cursor, v0, Replit or a template needs work before it can be maintained and used in production. We assess what can be retained.

What the work includes
Know where your website stands
Start with an initial proposal and estimate. Technical work follows an agreed scope and price, with a deployment plan suited to the website.
Initial assessment and estimate
Send the website address and describe the problem. We discuss the situation and provide an initial proposal without obligation. Any deeper technical review is agreed separately.
A planned transition
We arrange access and deployment around the running website. Where possible, changes are tested separately before switching versions.
An agreed scope and price
You receive the proposed work and pricing in writing. Additional work is agreed with you before proceeding.
A new admin panel where needed
For a simple site, we can discuss preserving the existing appearance while rebuilding content management so you can edit the pages.
Direct contact with developers
Our team has been developing since 2017. We inspect the actual code and discuss what is practical to maintain or replace.
One-off work or ongoing care
After handover, choose individual changes or discuss monthly maintenance from EUR 290, according to the support you need.
Repair or a wider takeover?
Choose the scope the website actually needs
A single fix can be sufficient for a well-maintained website. A takeover makes sense when you also need someone to understand the code, access and future maintenance.
A specific repair
A limited problem with a known scope
- Resolve a particular fault or make an isolated change
- Keep the existing maintenance arrangement
- Use the documentation and access already in place
- Agree the work around a defined issue
- Review separately if wider problems are found
devBoys takeover
A new development and maintenance arrangement
- Understand the current website and record the findings
- Agree the scope and price before work starts
- Plan and test the transition
- Discuss new content management where needed
- Assess inherited, template-based or AI-generated code
- Choose one-off improvements or ongoing maintenance
The takeover process
From your first message to a maintained website
Start with the website address and a short description of the problem. We can arrange access separately.

Review the situation
Send the website address and explain what is not working. We inspect the public site and discuss any access needed for a deeper review.
02
Agree the proposal
We explain the proposed repairs, completion or rebuild, and confirm the scope and pricing before technical work.
03
Carry out the takeover
Arrange access to the site, hosting and domain. We complete the agreed work and test the deployment before switching the live version.

What a website takeover involves
devBoys takes over existing websites, completes unfinished builds and assesses prototypes from AI tools and templates. Our developers have completed 119 projects since 2017. The initial discussion identifies the situation and the information needed for a proposal.
Technical work starts with an agreed scope and pricing. We plan changes and deployment around the existing system. A simple website may benefit from new content management while preserving its design. After handover, individual changes or monthly maintenance from EUR 290 are available.
Relevant work includes replacing the WordPress-based website for Biorezonance Jičín with a custom site and moving Vánoce na míru from Shoptet to a custom online store. Contact +420 601 386 720 or info@devboys.cz to discuss your website.
A takeover can include:
- initial assessment and a proposed scope,
- access handover for the website, hosting and domain,
- repairs or completion of agreed features,
- new content management where appropriate,
- tested deployment and handover,
- optional ongoing maintenance from EUR 290 per month.
When to take over a website and when to redesign
A takeover addresses the need for a new maintainer, missing knowledge or unfinished features. A redesign addresses the presentation, structure and experience of the website. We review your situation before recommending either.
For AI-generated prototypes, we assess what to keep and what needs work in content management, application features, security and deployment. The result is a proposed next stage with an agreed scope and price.
Who website takeover is for
We help businesses that have an unsupported website, an unfinished build or a prototype requiring further development. Work is handled remotely with direct developer contact.
The aim is a website someone understands and can maintain, with access held by the client and an agreed approach to future changes. Monthly maintenance starts at EUR 290.
Frequently asked
Answers to what we hear most often
Can't find your question? Write to us, happy to answer it during a free consultation.
Can you take over a website without documentation?
Yes. Start with the website address and the access you have, even if that is only hosting or the domain. We assess the available information and identify what else is needed.
How much does a website takeover cost?
The initial discussion and proposal are without obligation. We agree the price for technical review and implementation according to the actual site and work required. Ongoing maintenance is available in monthly packages from EUR 290.
Will the website be unavailable during the work?
We plan changes around the running site and test a separate version where possible. Any maintenance window or hosting change is discussed before deployment; the approach depends on the existing system.
Can you continue an AI-generated or template-based website?
Often yes, but we need to inspect it first. We assess the code, content management, security and deployment setup, then explain what can be retained and what needs replacing.
Can you also take over a web application?
Yes. Application work may include databases, user permissions and integrations. We agree the technical review and implementation scope separately. For Laravel applications, see our project rescue service.
What does the collaboration look like and who delivers what?
The first call is non-binding, we discuss goals and scope. Then we prepare a budget and timeline. You provide the inputs (copy, photos, branding); we can supply or arrange anything missing.
How much will it cost?
Price depends on scope and complexity. After the consultation you get a concrete quote with either a fixed price or an hourly estimate. No hidden items, everything is in writing.
Can the solution be extended later?
Yes. Every project is built to scale with new features, languages or integrations. The most common additions are booking, payments, a customer zone, or hooks into accounting and CRM systems.
Will you also manage the solution long-term?
Gladly. We offer monthly development and support packages so the project keeps improving and responding to user needs.
