WordPress engineering

WordPress sites that don't break.

We build, migrate, and maintain WordPress installs for studios, agencies, and product teams that care about what's under the hood. Containerised, observable, and quiet on call.

What we do

Full-stack WordPress, treated as real software.

Custom development

Themes, plugins, and block patterns designed for your content model — not the other way around. Code you'd be happy to inherit.

Migrations & moves

Hosting changes, domain changes, platform consolidations. One-click exports with rollback, tested on every site profile we've touched.

Performance

Page-speed and Core Web Vitals work that survives your next content edit — caching, asset pipelines, and database work grounded in measurement.

Care & maintenance

Updates, backups, security monitoring, and the occasional 2 AM triage. Quiet infrastructure is the goal — boring is a feature.

Featured tool

WPMagic Migration

The WordPress migration plugin we wrote for ourselves — and now offer to studios running containerised WordPress at any scale. Single-file .wpm archive, atomic swap, automatic rollback if the new site doesn't come up clean.

  • Single-click export. The full site — database plus wp-content — lands in one .wpm archive ready to download.
  • Streaming everything. Pure-PHP dumper and a hand-rolled gzipped-tar writer. 200× faster than the usual PharData approach; works on sites with 50k+ files and multi-GB uploads.
  • Serialisation-safe URL rewrite. Unserialize → walk → re-serialize for PHP serialised blobs. Decode → walk → re-encode for JSON. Your Elementor, WooCommerce and Blocksy customiser data survives the cross-domain move.
  • Atomic swap, automatic rollback. Imported data lives in a temp prefix until the last possible moment. A single RENAME TABLE makes it live. If the post-swap health check fails, we put the old site back — untouched.
  • Environment-agnostic. Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, Caddy. mod_php or PHP-FPM. MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+. No exec, no Composer, no shell access required.
  • Production diagnostics. Every run writes to a downloadable debug log. A single-command diagnostic script dumps the full plugin state when something's off.

Not currently in the WordPress.org directory — delivered on request so we can walk you through the setup once.
