Any possibility to clone a site with no access add new plugins?

Complex, drawn out saga here…will try to explain as briefly as possible!

Late last year I decided to start a new business, selected an industry-specific (recruitment) hosting provider based in the UK (as am I) that I pay a monthly sub for covering all costs. He had templates, but would fully customise the site to match a Figma spec I provided from my branding guy. All started well, in one day he seemed to get the bulk of the work done for the landing page other than some tweaks, formatting, etc.

But then he went awol – occasionally he re-appears and responds to an email or online chat, apologising and promising the work by the end of the week or saying he’ll process a full refund for my subscription costs etc. Back in March I had my last promise of this, again nothing, since then I cannot get hold of the guy whatsoever.

I’ve tried having a go myself at replicating the design in Squarespace but let’s just say it hasn’t started well :). What’s frustrating is that the core of the site is done on WordPress and, with some tweaks, and I could probably finish myself – but would need to move elsewhere, as paying a notable monthly amount to an absent hosting provider who seems to have half his example sites down right now (and even just accessing the WP platform has lots of timeouts and errors) would be madness.

But with adding any plugins being disabled, and my being rather untechnical, I am at a loss as to how to do it – so I thought I would see if Reddit can help…and if anyone can, my gratitude would be unending! Paying a professional would be difficult for me personally without receiving a refund from him, which I imagine is coming no time soon.

TLDR – Screwed over by absent hosting provider, need to get site out so I can finish off with a different hosting, but no clue how, please help kind people 🙂
