Everything Included in Our WordPress Builds
Platform & Approach
- When WordPress is ideal: marketing sites, blogs, landing pages, multi-page corporate sites, multilingual sites, and WooCommerce stores.
- When we recommend alternatives: heavy real-time apps or complex dashboards may suit Laravel/Next.js—still integrable with WP as a headless CMS.
Tech Stack & Architecture
- Core: PHP 8.2+, MariaDB/MySQL, OPcache enabled.
- Server: LiteSpeed/OpenLiteSpeed or NGINX, HTTP/2–3, Brotli/Gzip.
- CDN: Cloudflare (caching, image optimization, WAF).
- Caching layers: page cache + object cache (Redis) + browser cache.
- Codebase: custom theme (no bloat), child theme safety, minimal quality plugins only.
Design System & UX
- Custom design system: typography scale, color tokens, spacing, grid.
- Components: reusable sections (hero, stats, FAQs, CTAs, pricing, services).
- Mobile-first & touch targets: built for thumb reach and readability.
- Animation restraint: subtle micro-interactions, Core Web Vitals-friendly.
Content Model (Editing Experience)
- Gutenberg block patterns or ACF Pro for flexible sections.
- Custom Post Types: services, case studies, team, FAQs, testimonials.
- Role permissions: Editor, Author, Shop Manager with safe capabilities.
- Media discipline: auto WebP, lazy-load, named assets, alt texts.
Performance (Core Web Vitals)
- LCP: critical CSS, server push/preload for hero image & fonts.
- CLS: dimensioned media, font-display, stable UI.
- INP/TBT: defer non-critical JS, split bundles, avoid heavy sliders.
- Images: next-gen (WebP/AVIF), responsive srcset, modern lazy-load.
- Minification: HTML/CSS/JS minify & combine where safe.
- Database: index cleanup, transient control, cron hygiene.
