Questions? Answered.
Page builders, themes you’ve picked, updates and security: the WordPress questions we answer most often.
Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Usually we build custom themes, because page builders add extra code that can slow a site down and make the design easy to break. When a page builder suits the build better, or you’d prefer one so you can change layouts yourself, we use it and set it up carefully.
Can you use a theme I’ve already picked?
Yes. If you have a theme in mind, we review it first to make sure it can do what your site needs and is safe to use, including that its developer still keeps it updated. Then we set it up and customize it around your business.
Will I be able to update my WordPress site myself?
Yes, if you want to, and you get a short help guide at launch. Most clients would rather send changes to us, and our Professional and Enterprise maintenance plans include monthly edit time for exactly that.
Can I run WordPress and plugin updates myself?
You can, if you prefer. We recommend letting us handle them, because an update can clash with a plugin or theme and break part of the site or take it offline. On a care plan, we check updates before they go live and fix anything they affect.
Can you fix or take over an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We can fix errors, speed up slow sites, clean up malware and take over sites built by other developers. We start by reviewing the site so you know what we find before any work begins.
Is WordPress secure?
WordPress is secure when it’s built well and kept up to date. Most problems come from outdated plugins and themes. Our maintenance plans keep everything updated, monitored and backed up off-site six times a day.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
Websites start at $1,500 for up to 3 pages. Larger sites, stores and custom features depend on what you need, so every project gets its own quote.
