WordPress Development
WordPress builds engineered as production systems: custom themes, only the plugins that earn their place, hardened configuration and a tested restore path.
Capabilities
What we implement
- Custom theme development and block/editor configuration
- Plugin selection, integration and bespoke plugin development
- WooCommerce catalogue, checkout and tax configuration
- Migration between hosts with rehearsed DNS cutover
- Caching, image and database performance tuning
Security
How it is hardened
- Admin hardening: MFA, limited roles and restricted login paths
- Core, theme and plugin patch cadence
- Web application firewall and malware scanning
- Offsite backups independent of the hosting account
Architecture
Hardened WordPress architecture
WordPress is treated as an application with a patch cadence and a restore path, not a site that is installed and then forgotten.

FAQ
WordPress Development questions we are asked
- Why a custom theme instead of a purchased one?
- Purchased themes carry features you never use and a page builder you then depend on. A custom theme is smaller, faster and has no third-party licence in the critical path.
- Is WordPress secure enough for a business site?
- Yes, when it is patched, minimally extended, protected by a firewall and backed up offsite. Nearly every compromise traces to an abandoned plugin or a stale core.
- Can you take over an existing WordPress site?
- Yes. Takeover begins with an audit of themes, plugins, users and hosting, followed by a cleanup plan before any new work.
- Will WooCommerce handle our catalogue?
- For most catalogues, yes. Where volume, variant complexity or ERP integration pushes past it, that is said plainly and an alternative is scoped.
