WordPress has a plugin for almost anything, and most people can learn the editor in an afternoon. We offer WordPress development in Ottawa for businesses and non-profits that want those strengths without a slow, plugin-heavy site.

The trouble is how most WordPress sites get built. They use a heavy theme, a drag-and-drop page builder and 30 plugins. Those sites load slowly, and they become a security risk when updates are missed.

How we build WordPress sites

A custom theme made for your site. It only includes the code your site uses, so pages stay light.
Editing blocks made for your content. Your team edits text, photos and sections without breaking the layout.
Few plugins, chosen carefully. Every plugin is a possible security hole and a speed cost. We only add the ones you need.
Security from day one. Strong logins, automatic security updates, daily backups and a firewall.

WordPress is a good choice when:

Several people update the site every week.
You publish articles, news or events often.
You need a feature that already exists as a well-supported plugin, such as a membership area or a large event calendar.

If you only change your site a few times a year, we will probably suggest a simpler site built with Astro. It has no plugins to update, and hosting is free if you pay once, while WordPress needs paid hosting. Our web development page explains how Astro sites work.

Help for existing WordPress sites

Already on WordPress and not happy with it? We can:

Find out why it is slow and fix the biggest causes.

Questions people ask

Can't find your answer? Ask us directly.

Should my business use WordPress?

WordPress is a good fit if several people edit the site often, you publish a lot of articles, or you need a feature that exists as a trusted plugin. If you update your site a few times a year, a simpler site with no plugins usually loads faster and costs less to run.

Why is my WordPress site so slow?

The usual causes are a heavy theme or page builder, too many plugins, large images and cheap hosting. We can review your site and tell you which of these apply.

Can you take over my existing WordPress site?

Yes. We start with a review of your theme, plugins and hosting, fix anything urgent, and then give you a plan for the rest.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or WPBakery?

We avoid them for new sites. They make editing feel easy at first, but they slow the site down and make it hard to change later. We build custom blocks instead, so editing stays simple and the site stays fast.
