WordPress Sites That Scale

WordPress runs a large share of the web. We build custom themes and plugins that give your team an editing experience they will actually like.

Overview

WordPress

WordPress is an open source content management system written in PHP and backed by MySQL or MariaDB. Its strengths are a mature editor, a huge plugin and theme ecosystem, flexible custom post types and taxonomies, and a REST API that also supports headless use. Editors can manage pages and posts without developer involvement.

Our focus is core WordPress: the CMS, themes, plugins and editor experience. We build block-based themes and custom blocks, plugins with clean architecture and secure data handling, and structured content models in ACF or native fields. We tune performance with caching, image optimization and lean plugin sets, harden sites, and handle updates and migrations. For commerce, see our WooCommerce work, and for the Automattic plugin suite, our Jetpack page.

FAQs

Common questions

Have a question that is not covered here? Get in touch.

Is WordPress secure?

The core is actively maintained, and most compromises come from outdated plugins, weak credentials or poor hosting. We reduce risk with update routines, minimal plugins, hardening and backups.

How is WordPress development different from using page builders?

Page builders speed up simple pages but can add bloat. Custom themes and blocks give cleaner code, better performance and tighter control, at higher upfront effort.

Can WordPress be used headless?

Yes. Its REST API and GraphQL plugins allow it to serve content to a separate front end. It adds complexity, so we recommend it when you need that flexibility.

What is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

WordPress.org is the open source software you self-host and fully customize. WordPress.com is a hosted service with plan-based limits on plugins and code access.
