Frequently Asked Questions

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?
We strongly prefer not to. Page builders add significant code bloat, slow sites down, create security vulnerabilities, and make future migrations difficult. We build custom themes with Gutenberg blocks that give you flexibility without the performance penalty.
How do you keep WordPress sites secure?
We implement a multi-layered security approach: hardened wp-config, disabled file editing, limited login attempts, two-factor authentication, web application firewall, and a managed update schedule. We also provide monthly security reports for our hosting clients.
Can you take over maintenance of an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We offer WordPress care plans that include core and plugin updates, security monitoring, performance checks, and priority support. We'll start with a full audit of your existing site before beginning maintenance.
Will I be able to add new pages and content myself after launch?
Absolutely. Training your team to manage content independently is a core part of every WordPress project. We provide tailored video training and documentation so your team can confidently manage the site without relying on us for routine changes.
How does a custom WordPress theme compare to a premium theme?
Premium themes are designed to appeal to everyone, which means they include vast amounts of code and features you'll never use. A custom theme is lean, purpose-built, and loads significantly faster. It also gives you complete creative control without fighting the theme's default design decisions.
