The benefits of a WordPress design and build
The benefits stem from it being open source. This means that no one owns the platform and it’s easy to find WordPress designers. Another key benefit is the abundance of WordPress plugins you can use to add functionality. And we also provide WordPress plugin development. Also, WordPress comes with its own content management system (cms) which is quite intuitive.
However, there are a few things you need to be conscious of… Plugins need regular updates and can break things. Also, your website may become too reliant on plugins, which may slow it down. This is bad for the user experience and for SEO. A WordPress development agency worth its salt will make sure your plugins are kept up-to-date and will build as much functionality into your theme as possible, making it less reliant on the plugins.
more on planning
What you want from your website, and what your customers want, is going to change over time. Planning for the future of your business and future-proofing the build of your site is the ideal of any web development project.
Often, good planning starts with looking a how your current website performs. How do people find it, use it and where do they jump off it.

more on security
The truth is, these attacks are generally random and done for the sake of causing mischief. But, the good news is they’re easy to prevent.
With WordPress web development projects, there are a few simple things that can be done to block brute force attacks and hide your login page from ‘bots’. That usually just leaves the plugins, which need regular updates to ensure that any vulneravbilities have been removed by updating to the latest version. We can do this for you each month, or better still, add the functionality from those plugins to the theme it self. That way, you’ve solved a speed issue and a security issue at the same time!
