Web Development

WordPress development without the bloat

WordPress powers a huge share of the web for good reason: it's flexible, you own it, and it has an answer for almost anything. Built well, it's fast and secure. Built badly, it's neither.

What's included

What WordPress covers.

Scoped to your site and goals. Not every engagement needs every item, and the audit tells us which ones matter most.

01

Custom block themes

Lightweight themes built on core blocks, so editing is simple and pages stay fast.

02

SEO plugin setup

Yoast or Rank Math configured properly, with schema, sitemaps and indexing rules that make sense.

03

Speed optimisation

Caching, modern image formats, script cleanup and hosting that suits your traffic.

04

WooCommerce

Stores built for Canadian pricing, shipping and taxes, with product SEO handled.

05

Security & maintenance

Updates, backups and uptime monitoring available as a monthly add-on.

06

Rescue & cleanup

Untangling slow, hacked or plugin-heavy sites without starting from scratch.

How I approach it

The honest version

Most slow WordPress sites aren't WordPress's fault. They're the result of a heavy theme, a page builder and twenty plugins doing what three could. I build on the block editor with a lean custom theme and add plugins only when they earn their place.

Hosting matters more on WordPress than on any other platform. I'll recommend managed hosting that fits your budget, or work with what you already have.

Good questions

WordPress FAQs.

Yoast or Rank Math?

Both are fine; the setup matters more than the plugin. I'll keep whichever you have unless there's a reason to switch.

Can you speed up my existing WordPress site?

Usually, yes, and often without a rebuild. An audit tells us whether to optimise what you have or rebuild.

Do you offer maintenance?

Yes, as an optional monthly add-on covering updates, backups, uptime monitoring and small changes.
