WordPress engineering & security

Sites that can't afford to be slow, broken, or exposed.

We build, secure and run WordPress for businesses across Canada — including the regulated and complicated ones other agencies turn down.

Capabilities

Everything the site needs, from one team.

We hold the whole stack — the code, the server, the domain, the traffic — so nothing falls between two vendors blaming each other.

01

WordPress development

Build

Custom themes and plugins written to spec, not assembled from a page builder. Rebuilds of sites that have outgrown whatever they started as.

  • Theme and plugin development
  • Redesign and rebuild
  • Migrations without downtime
  • WooCommerce
02

Performance work

Speed

Most slow WordPress sites are slow for three or four findable reasons. We find them, fix them, and show you the before and after.

  • Admin panel in about a second
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Database and query tuning
  • Caching and CDN
03

Security

Protect

Audits, hardening and cleanup. If you have been hit, we will get you back up and then close the way in.

  • Security audits
  • Malware removal
  • Hardening and monitoring
  • Incident response
04

Hosting and infrastructure

Run

Managed hosting with the boring parts handled: patching, backups, certificates, uptime. Domains and DNS included.

  • Managed WordPress hosting
  • Domains, DNS and CDN
  • Backups and recovery
  • Uptime monitoring
05

Search and advertising

Grow

Organic search and paid campaigns on Google and Meta, with analytics wired up properly so the numbers mean something.

  • Technical and on-page SEO
  • Google and Meta advertising
  • Ecommerce analytics
  • Conversion tracking
06

Automation and AI

Applied AI

We use current AI tooling heavily in our own work — audits, content operations, internal automation — and will build it into yours where it genuinely pays off.

  • Workflow automation
  • Content operations
  • Internal tooling
  • Practical, not speculative

Security

We audit like someone trying to get in.

A security review that only lists plugin versions is not a security review. Ours covers the code, the server, the accounts and the supply chain, and ends with a plain-language report of what we found and what to do first.

Full‑stack Scope

Application code, server configuration, user accounts, plugins and their upstreams.

Ranked Findings

Ordered by real exploitability, not scanner severity. You get a fix order, not a list of 400 warnings.

Fixed Remediation

We can hand the report to your team, or do the remediation ourselves and verify it afterwards.

Quiet Disclosure

Findings go to you. No write-ups, no case studies, no client names unless you offer them.

How the work goes

Measure, fix, then keep it that way.

  1. Assessment

    We take a baseline of the site as it stands — speed, security posture, infrastructure, what is actually installed. You get the findings whether or not you hire us for the rest.

  2. The work

    Fixes and builds in priority order, on a staging copy, with the before-and-after numbers recorded. You see progress against the baseline, not a status meeting.

  3. Ongoing

    Updates, backups, monitoring and a person who answers. Most problems we handle are ones you never hear about, which is the point.

Complicated industries

We take the work other agencies decline.

Cannabis in Canada, age-restricted retail, regulated services, anything where the payment processor is nervous and the ad platforms keep saying no. We have shipped in these markets and we know the constraints.

That means compliant builds, careful handling of customer data, and advertising strategies that work inside the rules rather than getting your account banned. It also means discretion as a default — we do not publish client names or case studies without being asked to.
