About Markus

I get WordPress websites running again when updates, plugins, themes, or forms suddenly fail.


I support freelancers, small businesses, and agencies with acute WordPress problems, technical errors, and minor adjustments. My focus is on structured error analysis, clear communication, and solutions that don't just mask the problem superficially but actually work.

Typical Projects and Services:
  • WordPress troubleshooting and repair
  • Problems after updates
  • Plugin and theme conflicts
  • White screens, error messages, and inaccessible websites
  • Broken contact forms and problems with email delivery
  • Display errors on smartphones, tablets, or desktops
  • SSL, HTTPS, domain, and redirect issues
  • Minor adjustments with HTML and CSS
  • Website migrations, backups, and restoration
  • Performance optimization and technical maintenance
  • Technical support for agencies and existing web projects

What sets me apart: I don't work on the principle of 'install ten plugins and hope for the best.' I analyze the cause, back up critical data before making changes, and clearly discuss effort and risks before unnecessary costs are incurred.

I also take on smaller, clearly defined WordPress repairs at short notice. After all, clients usually don't need a digital strategy for 2029, but a website that works again today.
