A working site, rebuilt from scratch — every fact kept, every word new

The site wasn’t broken — that’s the point.

It is a real, working website for a family cleaning business twelve years in, and everything on it already does its job. The booking form submits. The about page, the services list, the blog, the FAQ and three flat rates are all there and all functioning.

The brief arrived as one long paragraph: rebuild from scratch, using the existing site only as business context and brand reference — not as a design template. Keep the logo, the pricing, the reviews and the contact details, and avoid anything that reads as generically generated.

That is a harder instruction than it sounds. Most rebuilds either copy the layout or lose the facts.

It audited both the existing site and the target install first, then rebuilt — and split the content by whether it was allowed to change.

Facts that must not move were carried word for word: the three flat rates with the original disclaimer intact, all five client reviews, the licence, the hours, the contact details. Nothing about the money was reworded.

Everything that was a design or phrasing choice was made fresh. Ten services under one standard, each description rewritten from the one-line originals — meaning kept, wording new. A three-step quote flow: pick a service, describe the property, leave your details. An about page that says it plainly: a family business since 2013, licensed and insured, small enough that you get the same people every visit.

It hit a real bug on the way — a blocked font import corrupting the stylesheet — and fixed it. Then it checked the whole thing on a phone before calling it done.

It had invented a star rating, noticed, and took it back. The figure was replaced with one the actual reviews support. Not corrected quietly — flagged, along with four other issues, in its own closing report.

An invented rating is exactly the kind of error that survives review. It looks plausible, it sits in a badge nobody re-checks, and it is a false claim about a real business. Catching it matters more than anything else on this page.

It was equally clear about what does not work: there is no form backend on this install, so the quote request does not submit — it opens your mail app pre-filled. Declared, not disguised.

• A completely different design carrying exactly the same facts
• Ten service descriptions rewritten — meaning preserved, wording original
• All five client reviews carried across word for word
• Three flat rates untouched, original disclaimer intact — nothing about the money reworded
• Licence, hours and contact details preserved verbatim
• One invented rating caught and retracted, replaced with a figure the reviews support
• A blocked font import corrupting the stylesheet found and fixed
• The unwired quote form declared rather than passed off as working
• Verified on a phone before completion

What this build actually used.

• Platform: WordPress with WPOS, rebuilt from scratch on a copy of the site
• Source analysis: both the existing site and the target install audited before anything was written
• Fact preservation: pricing, licence, hours, contact details and all five customer reviews carried across word for word — the three flat rates kept with their original disclaimer intact
• Content generation: all ten service descriptions rewritten from the one-line originals — meaning kept, wording new
• Quote flow: a three-step request — pick a service, describe the property, leave your details
• Form handling: no form backend exists on this install, so the request opens a pre-filled email rather than silently failing
• Debugging: a blocked font import that was corrupting the stylesheet, found and fixed
• Verification: checked on a phone before completion

Will a rebuild lose facts like pricing, licence numbers or reviews?

Not if they are identified as facts. Here pricing, licence, hours and all five reviews were carried across verbatim, while design and phrasing were made fresh.

Does WPOS correct itself when it gets something wrong?

Yes. In this build it had invented a star rating, caught it, retracted it and replaced it with a figure the real reviews support — then reported that it had done so.

What happens to functionality that isn’t wired up yet?

It gets flagged. The quote form on this install has no backend, so it opens a pre-filled email instead, and the build report says exactly that.
