Off WordPress, and no more plugin headaches

Somebody built it for you, then moved on. Now it's slow, something breaks every few months, and changing a price means asking a favour. We rebuild it properly. From $2,999, live in a week.

Ours was a WordPress site too

Slow, hard to find, and it did nothing for us. We came off WordPress for good, rebuilt it from scratch, and haven't touched a plugin since.

Why WordPress ends up like this

It isn't that WordPress can't work. It's that keeping one healthy is a job, and nobody's doing it.

It rarely falls over all at once. It drifts — an update here, a form that quietly stops sending there — and the first you hear about it is a customer saying they couldn't reach you.

  1. 01

    It's a dozen bits of other people's software

    A theme, a page builder, and fifteen plugins, all written by different people and all updating on their own schedule. Every update is a chance for something to break, usually the contact form, usually silently.

  2. 02

    Nobody's maintaining it

    The person who built it has moved on. Updates stop, the site drifts, and the first you hear about it is when a customer says the form didn't work.

  3. 03

    Out of date means a way in

    An unmaintained WordPress site is the most common way a small business site gets hijacked. Not because anyone targeted you, just because it was open.

  4. 04

    The page builder makes it heavy

    Boxes inside boxes inside boxes. It looked fine on the laptop it was built on, and it takes four seconds on a phone with two bars.

  5. 05

    Changing anything is a favour or a bill

    You want a new price on a page. That means finding whoever has the login, waiting, and probably paying. So it doesn't get done.

  6. 06

    You're paying for all of it

    Hosting, the builder license, the premium plugins, the security add-on, and somebody to keep it going. It adds up quietly.

What you get instead

Hand written, no theme, no page builder, no plugins. There's nothing to update because there's nothing bolted on. It loads in under a second and it can't break while you sleep.

Your web address stays

Same address, still in your name, and we never hold it. Nothing changes for anyone who already has your card.

Your ranking comes with you

Every old page points at the right new one, so Google follows you across. It usually improves, because the new site is faster.

Your content comes across

Services, photos, reviews and details come off the old site. You won't be asked to send it all again.

Nothing to update, ever

No plugins, no theme, no licenses. Nothing that can break itself at two in the morning.

No login to lose

Tell the AI editor what you want changed in plain English and it's done. Takes about a minute.

One bill instead of five

Hosting, upkeep, changes and your dashboard, all in the $149 a month. Nothing else to renew.

Questions people ask

I don't have the login

Common, and not a problem. As long as you own the domain we can build alongside and switch it over when you're ready.

Can't you just speed mine up?

We could, and it would still be a page builder with fifteen plugins on it. Rebuilding costs less and lasts longer.

What about my blog posts?

They come across with the rest, and the old links keep working so nothing you've earned gets lost.

Will I lose my ranking?

Not if it's done properly. Every old page points at the right new one, and the new site is faster and built to be found.

My site got hacked once

That's WordPress being left unattended. There's nothing bolted onto the new one, so there's nothing to get in through.

How long am I tied in?

You're not. No contract, no minimum term. Half up front, the rest when it's live, then $149 a month you can stop any time.
