Your Developer Ghosted You. Now What?
Let me guess—you sent your developer a simple edit request 3 weeks ago. Now you’re sitting there staring at your inbox like it’s gonna send you flowers. Spoiler alert: it won’t. They’ve ghosted. Poof. Gone like your patience.
So now what?
1. Breathe. You’re not alone.
Happens more than you’d think. Developers vanish for all kinds of reasons—burnout, bad planning, or maybe they just weren’t that into you. Whatever the case, don’t blame yourself (unless you paid them in “exposure”—then yeah, that’s on you).
2. Take back control.
You own your domain, your hosting, your content. Or at least, you should. If you don’t, now’s the time to get access. No more trusting randos with the keys to your digital castle.
3. Get a site health check.
Most ghosted sites are outdated, slow, or full of duct-tape code. You wouldn’t drive a car with no oil change for 5 years—don’t let your site limp along either.
4. Call in a pro. A real one.
That’s where I come in. I don’t ghost—I haunt. I audit, fix, redesign, and get your digital house back in order. No BS. Just clean code, clear communication, and maybe one or two bad jokes along the way.
5. Learn the signs for next time.
If your developer avoids calls, never gives timelines, or only communicates through cryptic emojis, it’s time to bounce.
You deserve a site that works—and a partner that doesn’t vanish when Mercury’s in retrograde.
Hit me up. I fix ghost stories.
