WordPress development, done so it stays fast
Most WordPress sites are slow because of how they were built, not because of WordPress. We build custom themes, keep the plugin list short, and hand over something your team can actually edit.
What we do with WordPress
Custom themes
Built from the design, not bent out of a template. No page builder, which is why the result loads in under two seconds instead of six.
WooCommerce
Product catalogues, Razorpay and UPI checkout, GST-compliant invoices, and the shipping and returns flows an Indian store actually needs.
Rescue and hardening
Hacked sites cleaned, backdoors removed, admin locked down, and the plugin that let them in identified and replaced.
Speed work
Core Web Vitals brought into the green: image handling, caching, database cleanup, and cutting the plugins that cost more than they earn.
Migration
Off a builder, off shared hosting, or off WordPress entirely onto Next.js when the site has outgrown it. Redirects mapped so the rankings survive.
Maintenance
Updates applied and tested, backups taken and restore-rehearsed, uptime watched. The unglamorous half that decides whether the site is still working in two years.
When WordPress is the wrong answer
If your site is really an application — accounts, dashboards, calculations, anything where users do work rather than read — you will spend more forcing WordPress into that shape than building it properly, and you will keep paying for it every time a plugin updates.
The same goes for a site where speed is the competitive advantage. WordPress can be fast; a custom build starts fast and stays that way without anyone maintaining the discipline.
We will say so before you commit, and point you at our custom development instead. A wrong-tool project is a bad outcome for both of us.
What you get
- Admin logins and hosting in your name, not ours
- A short, justified plugin list — every one of them a decision
- Core Web Vitals measured on a mid-range Android, not a laptop
- Staging site, so changes are seen before they are live
- Backups configured and a restore actually rehearsed
- A written handover your next developer can follow
Security is upkeep
Almost every compromised WordPress site was running a known vulnerable plugin with a patch already available. Being current is most of the defence.
Inherited sites welcome
No login, no documentation, no idea who built it. We start by finding out what you actually have, and tell you whether it is worth keeping.
Common questions
- Do you build custom WordPress themes or use page builders?
- Custom themes. Page builders like Elementor and Divi make the first week faster and every week after it slower — they ship enormous amounts of CSS and JavaScript, which is the single most common reason a WordPress site fails Core Web Vitals. If you already have a builder site we will work with it, but we will not start one.
- Can you fix a WordPress site somebody else built?
- Usually, and it is a good share of what we do. The common jobs are a hacked site to clean and harden, a site that has become unusably slow, or one where the original developer has disappeared and nobody has the login. We will tell you honestly when a rebuild costs less than the rescue.
- Should I use WordPress or a custom build?
- WordPress if the site is mostly content, you want to edit it yourself daily, and you need a plugin ecosystem for things like memberships or events. Custom if the site is really an application, if performance is a competitive advantage, or if you have outgrown the plugin you are relying on. We will say which we think you need before you commit.
- Do you handle hosting and maintenance?
- We can. WordPress needs actual upkeep — core, plugin and theme updates, backups that have been restored at least once, and someone watching for the CVE in the plugin you forgot you installed. An unmaintained WordPress site is a security incident on a delay.

A new build, a site that has stopped working, or one you have inherited and cannot get into. We will tell you what it needs before quoting for it.
