Editor-friendly usability

Your website should be easy to manage. That’s why we prioritize the user experience for editors, delivering WordPress installations that are lightweight, fast, and intuitive. Each website is custom-built, with design and code tailored to the project—no pre-made themes or templates here.

Websites with WordPress and ACF

At the core of all our WordPress websites lies Advanced Custom Fields Pro (ACF PRO). It’s a staple in every project, enabling easy and intuitive page and content creation. With strictly defined fields and settings, we ensure editors can’t go wrong: simply add a module, fill in the content, and you’re done.

Advantages over page builders like Elementor or Divi:

  • No display issues, as editors only manage module content, not the layout itself
  • Simple and intuitive usage
  • No hidden costs for yearly updates (thanks to our lifetime license)

WordPress plugins

Our philosophy is simple: as few plugins as necessary, but as powerful as possible. We adopt a best-in-class approach, relying only on plugins that have proven their value over time and are actively maintained to ensure a secure and seamless website operation.

Our strict selection criteria:

  • The plugin has been around for a while, comes from a reputable developer, and is regularly updated.
  • Single purpose: Focused on one specific function rather than trying to do it all.
  • No ads or intrusive notifications in the WordPress admin.
  • Good Citizen: Integrates seamlessly with WordPress, adhering to UI and coding standards. The plugin evolves with WordPress updates, ensuring ongoing compatibility.

WordPress hosting

Choosing the right hosting provider is crucial. There are many very affordable options, and at first glance, their offerings may seem similar. For our WordPress projects, we recommend Raidboxes, a hosting provider specialized in WordPress. Here’s why:

  • High-performance servers (with server caching) for fast websites (great for SEO and user experience)
  • Personal chat support
  • Automated nightly backups with one-click restoration
  • A staging environment (test instance) for development
  • German servers (data protection certified)
  • Climate-positive hosting
  • Automatic WordPress updates
  • Various security features to protect the website
  • A free SSL certificate

With these features, we eliminate the need for plugins for backups, caching, security, and staging. This keeps the WordPress admin area clean and fast, reducing setup and maintenance costs. The additional cost for Raidboxes is absolutely worth it.

WordPress maintenance

Our WordPress websites practically maintain themselves. Both WordPress and its plugins update automatically to the latest versions, keeping ongoing maintenance costs low—or in some cases, even free. This setup is suitable for 99% of all WordPress installations.

For highly complex requirements and setups, we handle updates manually to ensure everything runs smoothly.

WordPress support

Our WordPress systems are designed to run seamlessly. Editors often work independently and rarely need assistance. However, if questions arise, we’re ready to help. Should a technical issue occur—despite all precautions—we’re immediately on hand to resolve it. We never leave our clients hanging and ensure a prompt response every time.

Multilingual WordPress websites

We develop multilingual WordPress websites using Polylang Pro, which meets all possible requirements for multilingual functionality while integrating far better into the WordPress ecosystem than the more widely known WPML. Polylang’s user interface is streamlined to the essentials, blending seamlessly into the WordPress dashboard for a more intuitive experience.

Extensions

Have your website requirements grown or changed? Together, we’ll plan new sections, features, or modules. After designing, implementing, and testing in a staging environment, we’ll seamlessly transfer the updates to the live site.

Third-party solutions

From developing a complete career portal with an integrated application process and connections to recruiting systems like SAP SuccessFactors and Onlyfy, to integrating Hubspot forms or even creating a fully functional newsletter builder for Hubspot using ACF PRO—we’ve successfully connected various third-party systems to our clients’ WordPress websites via API. We’re confident that we can craft the perfect solution for your third-party systems as well.
