WordPress Child Theme Setup protects your customisations from theme updates, for a fixed price of A$149. If custom CSS or code was added straight into your theme, the next update can wipe it out. I create a child theme, move your customisations into it safely and switch your site over without changing how it looks.

Frequently asked questions
What is a child theme?
A small theme that inherits your main theme and holds your customisations so they survive updates.
Will my site look different?
No. The goal is no visible change, and every page is checked afterwards.
Do block themes need child themes?
Sometimes. Block themes save many changes in the database, but code changes still need a child theme.
Can you recover changes already lost in an update?
Often yes, from a backup, and they then go into the child theme.
