Enterprise WordPress

Integrations and scale, not themes. WordPress is the editor most people already know. Built properly, with a structured content model, a small set of maintained plugins and real integrations, it can carry a serious organisation. We build it that way.

Where you're starting from

  • WordPress
  • Drupal
  • Sitecore
  • Other CMS

Where you go next is decided in the Blueprint. Sometimes the answer is to upgrade.

Which situation are you in?

Good fit

Editors come first

Lots of people publish, few of them are technical, and speed of publishing matters more than an elaborate content model.

An editing experience your teams already understand.

Outgrown

A WordPress site held together by plugins

Dozens of plugins, a theme nobody wants to touch, and updates everyone is afraid to run. The platform is fine; the build isn't.

We rebuild it lean, on the same platform.

Re-platforming

Moving from Drupal or a DXP

Sometimes WordPress is the better fit for the team that will run the site. We move content, URLs and integrations across when the evidence supports it.

Drupal to WordPress, DXP to WordPress.

What usually goes wrong, and how we stop it

WordPress gets its reputation from builds that pile on plugins and page builders. The risks are in the build choices, and they are avoidable.

1

Plugin sprawl

A short list of maintained plugins, with custom code where a plugin would be a liability.

2

Structured content

Custom content types and fields, so content can be reused and migrated later.

3

Security

Hardened hosting, managed updates and least-privilege roles for editors.

4

Integrations

CRM, payments and identity connected properly, not through form plugins and webhooks.

5

Performance

Caching and hosting planned for real traffic, not left to a plugin.

6

Accessibility

Built to WCAG 2.2 AA, including the editing experience.

How a WordPress build runs

  1. DiscoveryWorkshops, content and integration inventory, decision log.
  2. ArchitectureContent model, roles, plugin list, integrations.
  3. BuildStaged releases, reviewed with your content owners.
  4. LaunchContent migration, redirects, performance and accessibility checks.
  5. HandoverTraining, documentation, support through WebsiteSupport.io.

Questions

If yours isn't here, it's usually quicker to ask on the phone.

Is WordPress secure enough for us?

Yes, when it is built and hosted properly. Most WordPress security problems come from unmaintained plugins and themes, which is what we design out.

Should we move from Drupal to WordPress?

Sometimes. It depends on your content model, integrations and who will run the site. Discovery compares them against what you actually need.

Do you use page builders?

Not as the foundation. Editors get flexible, structured blocks that keep pages consistent and accessible.

After launch

Already live? WebsiteSupport.io looks after it
