Definition
What is a well-built WordPress site?
WordPress powers about 43% of websites worldwide: an immense base of plugins and themes that lets a team edit the website itself without writing code. It is also what explains its reputation for slowness and vulnerabilities: anyone can pile plugins onto it, and few people know which ones to avoid.
A well-built WordPress site starts from the opposite choice: a light theme, a controlled number of plugins, an architecture designed for search and conversion before the first line of content. The editor, Gutenberg or Elementor, is chosen afterwards, based on what the site has to do and who will edit it.
The software is free. The discipline and the knowledge to keep it fast and secure are learned. That is what we sell.
Why an ordinary WordPress site slows down
A bulky, all-purpose theme, loaded with functions no page uses.
Plugins accumulated over the years, never removed or questioned.
No caching, no CDN in front of the hosting, a low-quality host.
That is what we avoid from the very first file.
What we master
The stack that keeps WordPress fast
What that expertise changes, concretely, for your sales and your leads:
A light theme chosen for the project
We avoid all-purpose themes loaded with useless functions. We start from a lean base, and every function added has to be justified by a real need of the site.
Controlled plugins, caching and a CDN
Every plugin is a trade-off between a function and a risk. We limit the number, and we cache what can be cached so every page displays without waiting on the database.
Security hardened from launch
8,223 distinct WordPress vulnerabilities were published in 2024 (Wordfence). Restricted access, an application firewall and monitoring are in place before the first visitor, not after an attack.
Automatic backups from day one
A complete copy of the site every day, ready to be restored.
Designed for SEO, AEO and GEO
Information architecture, semantic markup and structured data are designed in from the start, to be found on Google and cited by answer engines.
A team that stays after launch
The real cost of WordPress is paid after go-live, through updates and security. Our website maintenance service takes over if you wish.
In short: you get a WordPress site that performs from launch and is designed to stay that way for the long run.
Two editors
Gutenberg or Elementor, depending on the client's needs
They are not two opposing camps: they are two tools, and we master both. The right choice depends on your site, your team and who will edit it after us.
We decide it together at the start of the project, once we understand your needs and your expectations.
Gutenberg
WordPress's native block editor. Light, fast, well aligned with the theme. The right choice for a content site published often: a blog, a corporate site, a showcase without a complex layout.
Elementor
Complete visual control, drag and drop, without writing code. The right choice for a rich layout or a team that wants to adjust every detail itself. We configure it so it stays fast.
Torn between the two? That is exactly the kind of question we settle in thirty minutes. Book a call →
The proof
More than 80 WordPress sites, looked after by the same team
This is not a first project: it is a discipline repeated over dozens of sites, hosted on infrastructure dedicated to WordPress (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean), with 99.9% observed uptime. The details of hosting and upkeep are in our website maintenance service. See the website maintenance service →
Price and timeline
What a WordPress site costs and how long until it is online
The same orders of magnitude as for all our sites: the price depends on the scale of the project.
The price
Between $5,900 and $22,000
The range covers a showcase site as much as a large one, structure, content and measurement included as each case requires. The editor (Gutenberg or Elementor), the number of pages and the integrations make the figure vary, and it is confirmed after the first call.
The timeline
at least two months
Your website is probably the most important piece of all your marketing. That time is needed on both sides, yours as much as ours, to do the project properly. The schedule is set at signing. It also has to fit your availability during the project.
A WordPress site already in place that only lacks speed can be sped up without a redesign. We assess it first.

How we fit in →Frequently asked
Your questions about WordPress and Elementor
Do you use Elementor or WordPress's native editor (Gutenberg)?
Both. The choice depends on your site and your team. Gutenberg suits a simple content site, published often, where lightness comes first. Elementor suits a rich layout or a team that wants complete visual control without writing code. We decide together on the first call, based on what the site has to do.
Isn't Elementor known for slowing sites down?
That is true of a poorly configured Elementor site: too many plugins, a heavy theme, no caching. We configure it so it stays fast: a light theme, plugins kept under control, caching and hosting dedicated to WordPress.
Why choose WordPress over a static site managed with AI?
Because your team already edits in WordPress, or because the project needs WordPress's plugin ecosystem (bookings, memberships, specific integrations). The static site managed with AI aims for maximum speed and security for a new site. Both are good choices, depending on the situation: we help you decide.
Do you also build online stores on WordPress (WooCommerce)?
Online retail has its own requirements, for the catalogue and for payment: we handle it separately, see our approach for a store.
Who hosts the site once it is built?
You choose: we can host on infrastructure dedicated to WordPress (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean), or you stay with your current host. The details are in our website maintenance service.
An existing WordPress site that is slow: does it need rebuilding?
Not necessarily. If the design and the content suit you, a static copy of the site speeds up display without touching WordPress or the content. It is an option to assess before a redesign.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes, it is one of WordPress's strengths: your team edits the text, the images and the pages in the WordPress interface, with or without our help, as often as needed.
Will the site be well structured for Google and for AI?
Yes. Information architecture, semantic markup and structured data are designed in from the start, as on all our sites, WordPress or not.
How much does a WordPress site cost, and how long does it take?
The price depends on the scale of the site (number of pages, features, editor chosen). We give you a fixed price after a first call, once we understand what the site has to do.
