Do you use page builders?

We choose the approach based on performance, editing needs and long-term maintenance. Sometimes a block-based theme with custom blocks works best; in other cases a lightweight builder suits the team. We explain the options before development starts.

Can you redesign an existing WordPress site?

Yes. We review your current site, content and plugins, keep what works and improve the design, structure and performance. Where URLs change, redirects are added to protect search visibility.

Will you maintain the site after launch?

Optional care plans are available, covering updates, backups, security checks and content changes. You can also manage the site yourselves once training is complete.

Is WordPress secure?

WordPress can be very secure when it is kept up to date, uses reputable plugins and follows good hosting and access practices. We set up a security baseline and recommend ongoing maintenance to keep it that way.

Can WordPress handle ecommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce adds online store features to WordPress and suits many businesses. For some catalogues another platform may be a better fit, which we discuss during planning.

Will our site be fast?

Performance is considered throughout, from image handling to theme code and hosting. We test speed before launch and recommend improvements where hosting or third-party tools slow things down.
