Web Platforms and Care
Web design and development, from fully custom builds to WordPress, Shopify and Wix
We design, build, host and secure websites and web platforms. Fully custom code when the project calls for it, or WordPress, Shopify or Wix when a platform fits better. The same team looks after it after launch.
- Fully custom
- WordPress
- Shopify
- Wix
The foundation
The right platform for the job
We have no stake in which one you choose. We recommend the foundation that fits what you sell, who will update the site and how it needs to grow.
- Fully custom
No platform underneath
Custom code for sites and web apps that need their own features, speed or integrations: modern JavaScript frameworks, PHP and Node, on hosting you control. The same team builds our AI platforms.
- WordPress
Our deepest bench
Nearly 20 years of custom themes and plugins, headless builds, migrations, and the hardened servers they run on.
- Shopify
Stores and drops
Stores for brands, merch and launches, with a theme built to your look and the apps, payments and checkout set up to sell.
- Wix
Simple, and yours to edit
Polished sites your team can update on its own, when a fast build and easy upkeep matter most.

- One-off
Hacked site cleanup
For sites not on a plan, followed by hardening and the option to move onto Secure.
If a site on a plan is hacked, cleanup is covered when the cause falls within the work we manage. Other causes are scoped and quoted separately.
Hacked site repair
Hacked site? We clean it up.
WordPress malware removal and hacked site repair: we remove the malware, find and close the way in, restore clean files and help get Google’s warnings lifted. Then we harden the site so it stays clean.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which platform should we use?
It depends on what you sell, who will update the site and how it needs to grow. Custom code fits unique features and integrations; WordPress fits content-rich and marketing sites; Shopify fits stores; Wix fits simple sites your team will edit itself. We recommend one on a short call.
Do you only work with WordPress?
No. WordPress is where we have the deepest track record, and we also build fully custom sites and platforms, Shopify stores and Wix sites.
Can you host a site someone else built?
Yes. Migration is included, and we audit the site before we take it on.
Do you look after sites on other hosts?
Yes. We can move your site onto our hardened servers, or care for it on the host it already uses.
Will a rebuild hurt our search rankings?
Not when redirects, metadata and structure are mapped before launch. That’s part of every rebuild.
Do you offer emergency support?
Yes. Hacked or down sites get same-day attention.
How is pricing set?
Builds are quoted project by project, and care plans per site.
