WordPress & CMS
The CMS was chosen for independence and delivered the opposite
WordPress is picked so the team can manage its own content. Then it accumulates thirty plugins, a theme nobody can safely update, and an editing experience so awkward that every change goes back to an agency anyway. The independence it was chosen for is exactly what has been lost.
- Content changes requiring developer help
- A plugin stack that breaks at every update
- Slow loading traced to theme and plugin bloat
- Security warnings and outdated components
- An editing interface nobody on the team enjoys using
What we build
Custom themes
Built to your design rather than bought and modified, which removes most of the weight and the update fragility.
Editing built around your content
Structured content types and editing screens matched to what you actually publish, so editors are not fighting a generic page builder.
Purpose-built plugins
Bespoke functionality where a well-maintained plugin does not exist, rather than stacking four that nearly do.
WooCommerce
Commerce built and extended properly, including payment, shipping and tax configuration for your markets.
Headless where it fits
WordPress as a content API behind a modern front end, where performance or multi-channel publishing justifies it.
Migration
Moves from other platforms or older WordPress builds with content, URLs and search equity carried across.
Performance
Caching, image handling and query optimisation, plus removal of the accumulated weight that most sites carry.
Security and maintenance
Hardening, monitored updates, backups and recovery — the ongoing work that determines whether a WordPress site stays healthy.

Frequently asked
Yes, when it is maintained. Nearly all WordPress compromises trace to outdated plugins, weak credentials or abandoned components. Hardening, a minimal plugin footprint and monitored updates address the actual risk.
Generally not. Page builders trade long-term performance and maintainability for short-term flexibility. Purpose-built content types give editors more control over what matters and far less ability to break the design.
WordPress manages content while a separate front end renders it. It is worth it for performance-critical sites or when publishing to several channels. For a standard business site it adds cost without much return.
Yes. We start with an audit covering security, performance and code quality, and give you a straight assessment of whether it is better maintained or rebuilt.
