What We've Built

WordPress Sites We’ve Built & Manage

Your project will benefit from all our previous experience.

E-Commerce Store Overhaul

Replaced a 17-plugin WooCommerce mess with custom-coded product logic. Load time dropped from 8s to 2.1s, checkout abandonment fell 34%.

Legacy Site Migration

Moved 6 year old WordPress site from cPanel to modern cloudways. Zero downtime migration, 99.9% uptime since, automated daily backups.

eCommerce Recovery & Scaling

A high-volume retailer faced a hacked, unstable site right before peak season. We rebuilt the platform and migrated infrastructure in just 15 days.

Custom Development & Managed Hosting

We build what templates can’t, then manage the entire WordPress ecosystem so you focus on business, not maintenance.

Custom Codes

Purpose-built themes that do exactly what your business needs. No multipurpose bloat, no workarounds, no “almost works” compromises.

WooCommerce & Store Builds

Custom product logic, checkout flows, and payment integrations. Built to handle your catalog without the plugin conflicts that crash most stores.

Custom Plugin & API Work

When pre-built plugins don’t fit, we build exactly what you need. Clean code that survives WordPress updates.

Managed Hosting

We handle servers, security patches, backups, staging environments, and uptime monitoring. You never touch a cPanel again.

Your Site Does What You Need

Rigid templates force you to adapt your business to WordPress. Custom development makes WordPress adapt to your business. No more "theme doesn't support that."

We Manage Everything Behind It

Servers, security, SSL, backups, staging, updates, all handled. You get one point of contact instead of juggling hosting companies, security plugins, and backup services.

Updates Don't Break Your Site

We test WordPress and plugin updates in staging before they touch your live site. No more crossing fingers during update season.

Our approach

How We Build & Manage Your WordPress

We’ve seen what breaks WordPress sites: plugin conflicts, theme limitations, neglected hosting. Our process prevents these problems instead of patching them later.

Audit & Requirements

We document what your current WordPress can't do, what plugins are causing problems, and what your business actually needs from the site.

Custom Architecture

We design exactly what gets built custom vs. what stays standard WordPress. You see the plan before any code is written.

Theme & Plugin Development

Custom code built to WordPress standards. Clean, documented, and designed to survive core updates without breaking.

Managed Hosting Setup

Managed Hosting Setup / Your site goes on infrastructure we control: optimized servers, automated backups, staging environment, SSL, and security hardening.

Testing & Migration

We test in staging, migrate with zero downtime, and verify everything works before going live.

Training & Handover

You learn to manage content and products yourself. We document everything so you're never dependent on tribal knowledge.

Ongoing Management

Monthly maintenance, security patches, backup verification, uptime monitoring. We catch problems before they become emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions about the service that you may have

What does managed WordPress actually include?

Server management, security patches, daily backups, staging environment, SSL certificates, uptime monitoring, and WordPress core/plugin updates tested before deployment. One monthly fee, no surprise bills.

Can you fix our existing WordPress site or do we need a rebuild?

Depends on the foundation. We audit first. Some sites need targeted fixes, others are faster to rebuild clean than untangle years of plugin conflicts.

Why custom development instead of just using better plugins?

Plugins are built for everyone, which means they're optimized for no one. Custom code does exactly what you need, nothing more, nothing less, and doesn't conflict with other plugins.

Do we own the custom code you build?

Yes. All custom themes, plugins, and modifications are yours. Full source code, documentation, and the ability to take it anywhere if you ever leave.

What if we already have hosting we like?

We can work with your existing host for development-only projects. For managed WordPress, we need infrastructure we control to guarantee uptime and security.

How is pricing structured?

Custom development: fixed-price based on scope ($4,500-$20,000+ depending on complexity). Managed hosting: monthly retainer covering all maintenance and support. No surprise bills for either.

How long until we're live on managed hosting?

Migration to managed hosting: 1-2 weeks. New custom build: 4-12 weeks, depending on complexity. We don't rush, as broken launches cost more than delayed ones.
