A clear-cut opinion before you commit a budget.

Settle the direction before you spend
Before any quote, one decision has to be made: which trajectory your aging site should take. This is what the advice secures.
The need
Your WordPress site is aging and the trajectory is still open: stay, decouple or rebuild. Each direction commits months of work and a budget: getting it wrong is costly.
The main objective
Decide with full clarity. Secure the technical choice before committing a single line of code, and make competing quotes comparable with each other.
The solution
Independent, clear-cut advice: one hour to settle the direction, or a costed audit with its roadmap. You leave with a written direction, not a hunch.
This advice draws on a continuous tech watch, a discipline learned through a Master's degree in Technology Watch and Innovation (Aix-Marseille) and practised since 2012, to recommend what is proven, not what is trendy.
The call settles, the audit documents, the expert steers
The cost of a wrong trajectory is counted in months; the cost of the advice, in euros. One hour to settle a direction, a full audit with costed recommendations and a step-by-step roadmap, or a technical direction on shared time when one decision is never the last.
Prices excl. VAT. The advisory call is fully deducted from your quote if a project starts within 30 days. The audit + roadmap is a standalone deliverable: it serves you even if the work goes to someone else. The outsourced technical expert is the only recurring line, and every retainer starts with that audit. The detail of each offer follows below.

Video call, analysis, then a written opinion or the audit deliverables: recommendation, risks and the advised next step.
Frequently asked questions
€150 call or €650 audit: which one should I pick?
The call settles a direction in one hour: stay, decouple or rebuild, with a written opinion within 48h. The audit + roadmap goes deeper: audit report, costed recommendations and a step-by-step plan, handed over as deliverables. If you are still weighing the trajectory, start with the call; if the decision commits a budget, the audit secures it.
Why pay for advice before a project?
Because the cost of a wrong trajectory is counted in months: a redesign to redo, dependency on a vendor, lost search visibility. The advice costs €150, it is independent, and it is deducted from the quote if a project follows.
Is the audit useful if someone else does the redesign?
Yes, that is its purpose: the audit report, recommendations and roadmap are written to be usable by any vendor. It also makes quotes comparable with each other.
Does advice include technical fixes?
No. Advice helps decide, prioritize and reduce risk. Fixes and the redesign itself belong to the three development trajectories: consolidate, decouple or rebuild.
What if technical decisions come up every month?
Then a one-off opinion is the wrong format: you would buy one every month. That is what the outsourced technical expert is for, shown above: technical direction on shared time, from €900 excl. VAT per month, with a monthly steering committee, your quotes reviewed and a roadmap kept up to date. The detail of the two tiers, the deliverables and the scope lives on its own page. The advisory call and the audit remain the right entry points when a single decision has to be settled.
How do I book the advisory call, and can I reschedule it?
Booking and payment happen online, with immediate confirmation. The call is a real video call with screen sharing, not a chat. You can reschedule or cancel it up to 24h beforehand.
What should I prepare before the call or the audit?
Send the context ahead of time: the site address, the quote or proposal on the table, and your project notes if you have any. It is what makes the questions relevant, and keeps the hour focused on the decision rather than on discovery.
Is the amount deducted if a project follows?
The redesign advisory call (€150) is fully deducted from the quote if a project starts within 30 days. The audit + roadmap is a standalone service: its value lies in the deliverables, not in a refund.
