(01) Our take

We won't pretend WordPress is our first love, but we won't sneer at it either. For content-heavy sites where non-technical editors need to own day-to-day content, WordPress is still often the right answer. We build WordPress sites seriously — custom themes, custom block patterns, sensible plugin choices — and we can run WooCommerce stacks competently.

We push clients away from WordPress when the problem isn't really content management (app-like functionality, complex workflows, transactional applications). For those, we'd recommend Next.js with a headless CMS. But for a publication, a non-profit's public site, or a content-first brand presence, WordPress is a credible answer.

(02) What we build with it

Typical work

  • Publication and editorial sites
  • Content-heavy marketing sites with non-technical editors
  • WooCommerce storefronts for small-to-mid-sized merchants
  • Custom block editor development for content teams

(03) How we engage

Engagement shape

6–14 week engagements for custom theme development. WooCommerce builds tend to run longer with custom checkout or subscription logic.
