Elementor site takeover
Inherited an Elementor build? We audit it first, then fix what is worth fixing.
A developer who went quiet, a build that stalled, a site nobody wants to touch. We review it, say honestly what to keep and what to replace, quote a fixed scope, and finish it under your name.

Honest startSigns you need a takeover
The site works, mostly. Nobody trusts it.
You usually know before you can name it. Edits break the layout. Pages load slowly. Nobody can say which plugins are needed. The person who built it has stopped answering, and the client is asking when it will be finished.
- The developer left, or stopped replying
- The build is half finished and the brief has drifted
- Fonts, colours and spacing are set page by page, not globally
- Plugins and themes are out of date or nobody knows why they are there
- Backups, hosting or login access are unclear
None of this makes the site a write-off. Our guide to taking over an Elementor site someone else built walks through the same questions.
The audit
What we check before we quote anything.
Six areas, written up in plain language you can pass to your client.
Theme and plugins
Which theme and plugins are active, which are needed, which are outdated or duplicated, and which add weight for nothing.
Elementor version and global styles
Whether the site runs a current Elementor, whether colours, fonts and spacing are set globally, and how much is one-off overrides.
Performance
Image sizes, heavy sections, render-blocking scripts and layout shifts, measured against the usual Core Web Vitals.
Hosting and backups
Where the site lives, whether backups exist and restore, and whether updates can be applied safely.
Access and ownership
Who holds the domain, hosting, licences and admin accounts, so nothing is stranded when we hand it back.
Structure and editing
Page structure, templates and forms, and whether your client could edit the site without breaking it.
Straight answersKeep or rebuild
We will tell you when starting over is cheaper.
Sometimes the structure is sound and the site needs finishing and a speed clean-up. Sometimes repairing it costs more than rebuilding it. We say which, with reasons, and you decide.
If a rebuild is the better value, it is our standard Elementor build at $999 per site, flat, from a complete brief. Performance work follows our Core Web Vitals checklist for agency builds, and the standard build is described on our Elementor development page.
How it works
Four steps from stalled to maintainable.
You stay in front of your client. We stay behind you.
Review
You share admin access and what you know. We go through the site and its history.
Findings and fixed quote
A written list of what is fixable, what is not, and a fixed scope and price. Nothing starts before you agree.
Fix or rebuild
We finish or clean up the existing build, or rebuild it if that is the cheaper route.
Hand-off
Delivered under your name, with access, notes and a site your client can edit.
Which route
Takeover, Priority Pass or rebuild?
Three routes for three situations. The deciding question is whether you have a fixed launch date.
| Takeover | Priority Pass | Rebuild | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Inherited or stalled build, no fixed date | Fixed launch date, complete brief | Existing site not worth repairing |
| Starts with | Audit and written findings | Feasibility, confirmed in writing within two hours | A complete brief |
| Price | Quoted per project | $2,500 flat | $999 per site, flat |
| Speed | Given with the quote | 72 hours | 8 to 12 business days |
| Payment | After you accept the quote | After our written yes | Per our standard terms |
If the date is fixed and the brief is complete, see Priority Pass, the 72-hour Elementor rescue. If you are not sure which fits, send us the site and we will say.
Pricing
Fixed scope, quoted before work.
You set your own retail price and keep the margin.

An owner-led studio
Kruti runs delivery, and answers your messages.
Inherited sites come with questions nobody wrote down. Kruti runs delivery and replies to you directly, so findings and decisions do not sit in a queue. We have been a white label partner to agencies in the US, UK and Australia for 5 years.
We are a small, owner-led studio. We never contact your clients, and if a site is not a fit for us, we will say so before you commit.
What agency partners say
In their words.
It has been a pleasure working with Fryloop for the past three years at Voltage Studio. They have consistently delivered exceptional work on even our most challenging projects, showing incredible dedication, skill, and adaptability. Their problem-solving abilities and professionalism make them an invaluable part of our team.
I wanted to take a moment to thank Fryloop for their outstanding work on the RNB Sports & Music website. Throughout the process, their professionalism, attention to detail, and technical expertise truly stood out. They handled all aspects of the project with great skill, from the initial design stages to the final implementation.
