Your questions about WordPress development
What's the difference between a “standard” WordPress site and custom development?
A standard site uses a pre-existing theme and “off-the-shelf” plugins, which can limit design and functionality. Custom development means we create the theme and potentially the plugins for you, offering total freedom and optimized performance.
Is a custom WordPress site more secure?
Yes, in general. By writing clean code and using only strictly necessary and verified extensions, we considerably reduce the potential entry points for threats, compared to a site using dozens of plugins of various origins.
Will I still be able to use the WordPress editor easily?
Absolutely. That’s the whole point. We develop the “front-end” (what your visitors see) and the “back-end” (your management interface) so that modifying your content is as easy, if not easier, than with a standard site.
