Sound familiar?

Your web app has been running for years. Nobody remembers exactly how — or why.

Applications often outlive their original team, documentation and processes. That does not mean the project has failed. It means it needs a clear technical picture and reliable support.

↗

The original developer is gone

The person who built the application left, and much of the technical knowledge left with them.

!

Every change feels risky

Small fixes can create unexpected problems because nobody has a complete picture of the system.

?

Critical procedures are unclear

Backups, deployments, credentials and environments may exist, but they are not properly documented.

⌁

Support is reactive

Problems are addressed only when users report them, often without monitoring or a repeatable process.

The Web App First Kit

Don’t trust a sales pitch. See how we work.

For one focused month, the Refactory team works directly on your application within a clear, agreed scope. You experience our speed, communication and support before deciding whether to continue.

{ }

Real work

We work on your actual application, environments and processes—not on a generic demonstration.

Real support

You can evaluate our communication, availability and practical problem-solving approach.

✓

Real output

You receive documentation and recommendations that remain useful even if you do not continue.

What you’ll get

A clear map of what is really going on under the hood

We build the kind of technical picture every long-running application should have.

01

Application map

  • Repositories, credentials and access procedures
  • Production, staging and other environments
  • Database, file storage and external services
02

Reliability review

  • Deploy process documented step by step
  • Backups, frequency and restore procedures
  • Monitoring, errors and operational risks
03

Performance and costs

  • Current performance and bottlenecks
  • Hosting, tools and service costs
  • Areas that can be simplified or optimised
04

Prioritised roadmap

  • What should be fixed first
  • Quick improvements and structural work
  • Clear recommendations for the next steps
A document you can hand to any developer.
At the end of the month, you can clearly say: “This is what we’re working with.”

The value of the trial

You’re not only testing our technical skills

You are testing what it feels like to have a reliable maintenance team working beside you.

1

Speed

See how quickly we understand the project, assess issues and provide practical answers.

2

Communication

Experience clear updates and direct contact with the people working on your application.

3

Consistency

Evaluate a team that stays available and follows problems through to resolution.

A clear scope

A focused month designed to produce a useful result

We protect the quality of the free month by defining what can realistically be completed.

Always included

  • Technical analysis and project mapping
  • Access, environment, backup and deploy review
  • Performance and cost observations
  • Documentation and prioritised recommendations
  • Contained improvements when time allows

Larger work deserves a proper scope

Major upgrades, large rewrites, complex new features and emergencies are not rushed into the free month.

  • We explain why the work is needed
  • We identify its urgency and impact
  • We outline realistic effort and next steps

Is it a good fit?

Built for valuable web applications that need continuity

The Web App First Kit is a strong fit when…

  • Your application is already live and business-critical
  • The original team has changed or is no longer available
  • Documentation is incomplete or outdated
  • Deployments, backups or environments are unclear
  • You need reliable ongoing maintenance and support
  • The stack includes PHP, Symfony, Yii, Laravel, Vue or related technologies

Probably not the right fit when…

  • You need a completely new application built from scratch
  • You need an urgent large-scale rewrite
  • The application is in an active emergency
  • You only need a one-off feature with no maintenance requirement

Not sure? Email us. We’ll tell you honestly whether the project is suitable.

FAQ

Questions you might have

Is the month really free?

Yes. There is no fee for the agreed Web App First Kit scope. We review every request first to confirm that the project is suitable.

Is the amount of work unlimited?

No. The free month has a clear scope focused on analysis, documentation, technical mapping and recommendations. Contained improvements may be completed when time allows.

Will I need to provide access?

Yes. To work on the real application, we may need access to repositories, environments, monitoring tools or existing documentation. Access requirements are agreed before work begins.

What happens after the month?

You receive the documentation and recommendations either way. If you want ongoing support, we can discuss the most appropriate next step after the trial.

What technologies do you support?

Refactory regularly works with PHP, Symfony, Yii, Laravel, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, Node.js, AWS, Linux and Docker environments.

What if the application needs a major rewrite?

We will explain why, identify the priority and outline the work required. A large rewrite or upgrade will not be rushed into the free month.
