Common questions
How long does a WordPress build take?
Four to eight weeks for a custom theme build with SCF (the WordPress.org fork of ACF Pro that ships its premium features for free) for content modeling, plus Rank Math for schema. The “4–8 weeks” in the table above assumes greenfield — migrations from other platforms add another 2–4 weeks for redirect mapping and content audit. If someone quotes you 2 weeks for a “real” WordPress build, they’re shipping a theme they’ve shipped 50 times already.
WordPress or Webflow?
The table above gives them similar editorial scores, but they diverge on developer customization (5 vs 2). The honest call: WordPress when you need plugin-level extensibility (membership tiers, custom CPTs, WooCommerce, complex relationships) or have in-house engineering to maintain it. Webflow when the team is marketing-led and design fidelity matters more than backend logic. We’ve built ~30 sites on each — neither is “better,” they solve different problems.
Is WordPress secure?
WordPress core is fine. The plugin ecosystem is where security problems start — and it’s also where WordPress’s value comes from. We use managed hosting (Kinsta, WP Engine) for the WAF, run weekly plugin update checks, lock admin behind 2FA + IP allowlist, and disable file editing through the admin. With those four practices, our WordPress builds have a clean security record across 9 years and ~60 sites.
