Overview
WordPress powers a large share of the web because editors like it. It earns its bad reputation when sites are assembled from dozens of overlapping plugins and never updated.
We build lean custom themes and editor blocks, keep plugins to a vetted minimum, and set up hosting, backups and update routines so the site stays fast and secure.
What we deliver
- Custom theme with editor-friendly blocks
- Vetted plugin set with justification for each
- Security hardening and update policy
- Caching and image optimisation
- Editor training and documentation
- Backup and restore procedure
