WordPress, done properly.
New WordPress sites, and moves off Wix and Squarespace. Built lean, on a custom theme, without the pile of plugins and page-builder weight that leaves most WordPress sites slow.
Most WordPress sites are slow for the same reason.
They are held together with thirty plugins, a bought theme, and a page builder that loads hundreds of kilobytes of code before a word of content appears. The people who have to update them are scared to touch anything.
A custom theme, no page builder, and an editor your team is happy to use.
I build the theme from scratch, with editor blocks shaped around your actual content, nothing loaded that you do not need, and no reliance on a paid plugin you can never leave. Fast hosting, automatic backups, and security handled.

Notes written in plain English
How it works
- 01
Audit
For a migration, I review the current site and map the content. For a new build, we scope the structure and pages.
- 02
Design
Theme design with editing in mind, so the blocks match how you actually publish.
- 03
Build
Custom theme, plugins kept to a minimum, performance checked at every stage.
- 04
Launch
A cutover with no downtime, a session on editing it, and then the keys are yours.
Questions
Can you migrate me from Wix or Squarespace?
Yes, both regularly. The content moves over, the addresses redirect, and the search rankings survive. Most migrations take two to three weeks.
Do you build with Elementor?
No. Elementor is the reason a lot of WordPress sites are slow. I build a custom theme with the standard block editor, which gives your team the same flexibility for a fraction of the page weight.
Will my SEO survive a migration?
Yes, that is the point of doing it properly. Old addresses redirect, structured data is rebuilt, and titles are checked against the audit. Sites I migrate usually rank better afterwards because they load faster.
