WordPress powers more websites than any other platform, and we have been developing, customizing, hosting and rescuing WordPress sites for well over a decade. Built properly and maintained monthly, a WordPress site is as safe and secure as any CMS. Built from a free theme and forgotten, it is a target. We do the former and fix the latter.
You want a site that looks incredible and works for you and your visitors. Grabbing any theme and a pile of plugins can be disastrous. Here is what we do instead.
Most free plugins and themes are in high distribution, so when a hacker finds a vulnerability they can exploit thousands of sites fast. We only use plugins from reputable developers, we know which ones need updating, and we update client sites monthly so security stays high and upgrades do not break anything. Not every plugin works with the latest WordPress; an update can break other areas of a site, which is why we test first.
Many themes are open source and that creates problems: themes that block search engine crawlers, render-blocking resources that hurt speed, oversized CSS files, broken internal links, canonical errors and poor URL structure. We prefer to build our own themes, and when we customize one we fix those issues before launch.
WordPress becomes a target when owners and inexperienced developers never evaluate or update the software. A monthly program with updates, backups, scanning and monitoring is what keeps a site secure and performing over time.
Everything a WordPress site needs over its life, from the same team.
WordPress brings a lot to the table in features and third-party support. It also becomes a target when site owners and inexperienced developers never evaluate or update the software. Having an experienced team design, build and manage your WordPress site is a must if you want it secure and performing over time.

A properly built and maintained WordPress site is as safe as any other CMS. The sites that get hacked are usually built from free themes and plugins and never updated. Vetted plugins, a custom theme, monthly updates, backups and monitoring remove most of the risk.
Contact us. We get calls every week from owners in this situation and can triage quickly to limit the damage to your rankings. SEO damage from hacked sites is the most common and most costly outcome. We clean the site, close the hole, review Search Console and harden the installation.
Every month we hear from owners whose site was abandoned by the developer who built it or hacked because it was never maintained. Most of the time the cost to fix exceeds the cost to build a new one properly, but not always. A short review tells us which, and we will give you a straight answer.
Yes. If your company uses WordPress and is struggling to get started, moved away from a page builder, or needs to train new staff, we provide training on the editor and on your specific site. The content editor is user friendly and anyone can learn it.
