Web development

WordPress development and optimisation

WordPress done properly: lean custom themes instead of bloated page builders, secure hosting and pages that load fast enough to rank.

Why choose WordPress?

WordPress is an open source content management system that powers a large share of the web. It is a strong choice for content heavy sites because editors can publish easily, it has a large ecosystem of plugins and it can be extended with custom themes and code.

What our wordpress development covers

Custom WordPress themes, plugins, speed fixes and secure hosting.

Custom themes

Block based themes with no page builder bloat.

Plugin development

Features built exactly for your needs.

Speed optimisation

Caching, image handling and code cleanup.

Security

Hardening, firewall and malware cleanup.

Migrations

Move from Wix or old hosts with redirects intact.

WooCommerce

Store setup and custom checkout logic.

How we approach wordpress development

Slow WordPress sites usually suffer from heavy themes and too many plugins. We build lean custom themes and replace plugins with small, purpose built code.

Hacked WordPress sites are almost always unmaintained ones. Our care plans keep core, themes and plugins updated and backed up.

Every project starts with a short discovery call and ends with software you own: source code, data, cloud accounts and documentation are handed over in your name.

From first call to launch

The same five stages for every build, with a working demo at the end of each sprint so you see progress, not promises.

  1. Discovery

    We map your process, users and data, agree the first release and give you a fixed price for it.

  2. Design

    Clickable prototypes of the key screens, reviewed with the people who will use them every day.

  3. Build in sprints

    Two week sprints with a demo each time. You can change priorities between sprints.

  4. Test and launch

    Functional, security and load testing, data migration, training and a planned go live.

  5. Support and grow

    Monitoring, fixes and new features on a monthly plan, or a clean handover to your team.

Questions about wordpress development

Can you speed up our existing WordPress site?

Yes. We audit it, fix the biggest bottlenecks and measure before and after.

Our site was hacked. Can you fix it?

Yes. We clean it, close the entry point and set up monitoring.

Do you build with Elementor?

We can, but for speed we usually recommend native blocks.

Do you work only in Kolkata?

Our engineering team is based in New Town, Kolkata, and we work with clients across West Bengal, the rest of India and overseas. Most projects run remotely with weekly demos, and we meet in person when it helps.
