Who it is for

Who WordPress development
is built for.

01 Companies already on WordPress

The site works, but it is slow, fragile and full of plugins nobody remembers installing.

02 Teams that want to edit themselves

Marketing needs to publish without a developer and without breaking the design.

03 Businesses moving from Wix or Squarespace

You want ownership, SEO control and integrations a site builder does not allow.

04 Stores on WooCommerce

Ecommerce on your own server, with no platform fees.

The problem

Why WordPress sites
get slow and get hacked.

WordPress runs much of the web — and most of its problems come from plugins, builders and missed updates.

01 58.6%

of all websites with a known CMS run on WordPress — 40.1% of all websites.

02 11,334

new vulnerabilities found in the WordPress ecosystem in 2025, 42% more than in 2024.

03 91%

of those vulnerabilities were in plugins and 9% in themes; only 6 were in WordPress core.

04 5 h

weighted median time to first exploit for heavily exploited vulnerabilities.

05 45%

Core Web Vitals pass rate for WordPress on mobile — among the lowest of major platforms.

What is WordPress website development?

WordPress website development is building a site on the world’s most used CMS so that your team can edit it easily — without the usual problems of slow pages, plugin conflicts and security holes. We build custom themes without heavy page builders, keep plugins to a trusted few and set up updates, backups and monitoring from day one.

WordPress powers most CMS-based websites, and almost all of its vulnerabilities come from plugins and themes. A clean build and careful maintenance are what make the difference between a WordPress site that lasts and one that breaks.

What changes for your business

A fast, secure site your team can edit, fewer plugins and fewer surprises, and updates that never take the site down.

Weeks 2–3Design

Layouts on your real content, desktop and phone, with a preview link you can share.

Weeks 3–6Build

A fast, editable site: forms, integrations, SEO basics and analytics, tested on real devices.

AfterLaunch & care

Go-live, redirects and Search Console, then updates, backups and monitoring if you want us to stay.

FAQ

WordPress questions
we hear every time.

Do you use Elementor or Divi?

We build custom themes with native blocks and fields instead. Your team still edits visually, but pages stay fast and layouts do not break after updates.

Can you fix our existing WordPress site?

Yes. We start with an audit of plugins, speed and security, then fix or rebuild what needs it — often without changing the design.

Is WordPress secure?

WordPress core is very secure; most problems come from plugins and missed updates. Few trusted plugins, tested updates, a firewall and backups solve most of it.

Can we move from Wix or Squarespace?

Yes. Content and pages are migrated, URLs redirected and SEO kept.

Do you offer maintenance?

Yes — updates on staging, backups, monitoring and small changes, on a monthly plan.
