The Reality

WordPress Is Underrated (When Done Right)

WordPress powers 40%+ of the web. Most of it is mediocre. Bloated themes. Plugin conflicts. Security nightmares. Sites that load in 8 seconds and crash under traffic.

But WordPress done right is something else entirely. A stable, extensible platform that businesses can actually build on. Custom functionality without the cost of fully custom development. A content management system that editors actually like using. Performance that rivals custom applications.

The difference isn't WordPress itself-it's how you build with it.

WordPress: The Right Use Cases

WordPress makes sense when: you need content management with editorial workflows, you want to leverage a mature ecosystem, your team knows WordPress, or you need to ship quickly with room to grow. It's not the right choice for everything-but when it fits, it fits well.

The Problem with Most WordPress Work

Most WordPress implementations fail because they're built with shortcuts:

Chatbots that can actually answer questions using your content:

AI Integration Architecture

We build AI features as separate services that WordPress calls via API, not as monolithic plugins. This keeps your WordPress installation stable while enabling sophisticated AI capabilities.

Our Approach

How We Build WordPress

Architecture First

Before touching code, we design an architecture that will last:

Performance by Default

We don't build slow and optimize later. Performance is baked in from the start:

Security Throughout

WordPress security isn't optional:

Maintainability

FAQ

Common Questions

Why would I need custom WordPress development?

When themes and off-the-shelf plugins can't do what you need. Custom post types, specialized workflows, AI integration, complex integrations with external systems, or performance requirements that standard solutions can't meet.

Can you add AI features to my WordPress site?

Yes. We build custom plugins that integrate AI capabilities: content generation assistance, semantic search, chatbots, image generation, and more. We connect WordPress to Claude, GPT, and other AI services through secure API integrations.

How much does custom WordPress development cost?

Custom WordPress work ranges from $5,000-$50,000 depending on scope. A focused plugin for a specific workflow might be $5-10k. A complex integration with AI capabilities and multiple external systems could be $25-50k.

Do you work with existing WordPress sites?

Yes. We audit existing sites, clean up technical debt, add new functionality, and improve performance. Sometimes the best path is building on what exists; sometimes it's better to rebuild cleanly. We'll give you an honest assessment.

What about managed WordPress hosting?

We can deploy to any hosting environment. For most clients, we recommend managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine, Kinsta, or Cloudways-they handle server maintenance, security updates, and backups. We configure and optimize for whichever platform you choose.

Can you migrate my site from another platform?

Yes. We've migrated sites from Drupal, Joomla, Squarespace, custom systems, and older WordPress installations. We handle content migration, URL mapping, SEO preservation, and redirect setup.
