No platform lock-in, no per-seat pricing, no feature you can't have because the vendor hasn't shipped it. WordPress runs a large share of the web for one reason: when you outgrow the defaults, you're not stuck. We build the version of that which stays fast and doesn't rot.
Built lean. Most slow WordPress sites are slow because of twenty plugins doing what three should — we start from the other end.
Magazines, resource libraries, knowledge bases. Custom post types and taxonomies structured so the archive still makes sense at a thousand articles.
Product catalogues, variations, subscriptions and payment gateways — including the tax, shipping and checkout details that quietly cost you conversions.
Bloated theme, plugin sprawl, failing Core Web Vitals. We rebuild on a lean stack with proper caching and image handling, and keep your URLs intact.
Schema, sitemaps, canonicals, internal linking, crawl budget and redirects done properly — the layer most sites skip before wondering why content isn't ranking.
AI drafts against a keyword map and your brief; a human edits before anything publishes. That combination is how you go from four posts a month to forty without the whole library reading like a template.
Updates, backups, uptime monitoring and hardening. WordPress's openness is its strength and its risk — unattended installs are how sites get compromised.
| WordPress fits when… | Consider something else when… |
|---|---|
| You publish content regularly and want it to compound | You need a simple brochure site fast and won't touch the code — see Wix |
| You want to own the source, data and hosting outright | You'd rather nobody ever had to run updates or backups |
| You need a store with real catalogue complexity | You're building software with accounts and billing — see SaaS |
| You expect to add functionality nobody's predicted yet | Your product's core is a bespoke interactive app — see custom |
If you have a site, we run performance, SEO and security checks and show you what's actually slowing it down. Yours regardless of what you decide.
Post types, taxonomies, templates and the plugin list — agreed up front, because this is the decision that's expensive to reverse later.
A staging environment you can log into from day one. Content migration and redirect mapping happen here, not on launch night.
DNS, SSL, caching, analytics and Search Console. You get admin, hosting and source access, plus documentation for the parts you'll maintain.
Our published portfolio is mostly Wix and custom builds — that’s where the shipped work is, and we’d rather show you that than dress up a WordPress screenshot we don’t have. The judgement on show there is the same judgement we bring to a WordPress build: what the site has to do, and the shortest honest route to it.
Unmaintained WordPress with thirty plugins is both. A lean install with a purpose-built theme, sensible caching and a maintenance routine is neither. Nearly every WordPress horror story traces back to a site nobody updated for two years — which is a process problem, not a platform one.
Builders make editing easy and add weight; custom themes are lean but need a developer for structural changes. We usually land on a block-based theme, which keeps editing in your hands without the page-builder tax. We'll show you both before deciding.
Yes — from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, an older WordPress install or plain HTML. The important part is the redirect map: done properly you keep your rankings, done carelessly you lose traffic you spent years earning.
Wherever you want, in your own account. We'll recommend something appropriate to your traffic and budget, set it up, and hand over the keys. Hosting stays in your name so you can move or fire us without it becoming a hostage negotiation.
You need someone doing updates, backups and monitoring. That can be us, your internal team, or your host if their managed plan genuinely covers it. What doesn't work is nobody — that's the path to the compromised-site story above.
Send us your current WordPress site and we'll come back with performance, SEO and security findings — and an honest view on fix versus rebuild.
