WordPress Website Development
WordPress done properly — which mostly means fewer plugins.
- Typically 2–6 weeks depending on scope
Most bad WordPress sites are not WordPress's fault. They are the result of forty plugins solving thirty problems, each loading its own scripts, none of them updated.
We build WordPress the way it should be built: a lean theme, a small number of well-chosen plugins, and custom functionality written properly rather than bolted on. The result loads in under two seconds, survives updates, and does not need rescuing every six months.
We also rescue sites already in that state — auditing what each plugin does, removing what is redundant, and rebuilding the parts that cannot be saved. That is often cheaper than starting over.

Questions people ask
Why is my current WordPress site so slow?
Almost always plugin bloat, unoptimised images, and cheap shared hosting. An audit usually finds two-second savings without touching the design.
Do you use Elementor or similar builders?
Only where the client genuinely needs to build new layouts themselves. Page builders add significant weight, so we prefer custom blocks for a site that mostly needs content edits.
Can you fix a hacked WordPress site?
Yes — clean-up, hardening and a monitoring setup. Most compromises come from outdated plugins, so the fix has to include a maintenance process.
