WordPress development
Custom WordPress sites built to load fast, stay secure and be edited by your own team without a developer on standby.
Why build on WordPress?
Because it runs about 40% of the web, so the people who maintain it are easy to find and easy to replace.
That matters more than any feature. A site built on something obscure ties you to whoever built it. A WordPress site can be picked up by any competent developer, which is worth more over five years than whatever the obscure thing did better in year one.
The trade is that WordPress will happily let you make a slow, insecure site. Most of the ones we are asked to rescue got there through a pile of plugins, each added to solve one problem and none ever removed.
What we build
Sites designed around what the business actually needs to publish.
- Custom themes, not bought ones
- Editable blocks your team controls
- WooCommerce where a store fits
- Multilingual and multi-site setups
What we fix
Most of our WordPress work starts with someone else's site.
- Slow pages and bloated plugin stacks
- Security holes and outdated cores
- Broken mobile layouts
- Hosting that is the real problem
What we do
- 01Design and buildA custom theme built for your content, not a purchased template bent into shape around it.
- 02Editable blocksSections your marketing team can add, reorder and remove without opening a ticket.
- 03SpeedA performance budget agreed before design starts. Retrofitting speed costs several times more than building it in.
- 04PluginsAs few as the job needs. Every plugin is code someone else maintains, and each one is a place the site can break.
- 05WooCommerceWhere a store belongs on WordPress. If the catalog is large we will tell you Shopify is the better home.
- 06MaintenanceCore and plugin updates, backups and monitoring, so the site does not quietly rot.
Questions people ask
Should I use WordPress or Shopify?
If selling is the main job, use Shopify. If publishing is the main job and selling is secondary, use WordPress with WooCommerce. Running a large catalog on WooCommerce is possible and usually more expensive to maintain than it looks.
Why is my WordPress site slow?
Usually three things together: too many plugins, images served at full size, and cheap shared hosting. All three are fixable, and the hosting is often the cheapest of the three to fix and the one people try last.
Can you work on a site someone else built?
Yes, and most of this work is exactly that. We audit first and tell you honestly whether it is cheaper to repair or to rebuild. Sometimes the answer is repair.
Do you handle hosting and maintenance?
Yes. Updates, backups, uptime monitoring and security patching on a monthly plan. A WordPress site left unattended for a year is a liability rather than an asset.
