Why WordPress
WordPress suits content-led business websites well: a familiar editor, a huge ecosystem, flexible hosting options and no platform lock-in. Its weaknesses — plugin bloat, security neglect and slow page builders — are avoidable with careful development and maintenance.
How I build WordPress sites
- A lightweight theme with a consistent design system
- Gutenberg blocks or Elementor templates for reusable sections
- Custom post types and fields for structured content
- Only the plugins that are genuinely needed
- SEO foundations: titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, sitemap, schema
- Staging site, backups and a documented update process
For more complex content structures, see CMS development.
