WordPress Development From A Team That Runs WordPress

Yes, all of it. The theme code, any custom plugin we write, the design files, the domain, and the hosting account sit in your name. So does every licence bought for the project. We work through access you can remove at any time, and the handover includes the documentation rather than just the login.

Yes, and the templates get built for that. Someone non technical on your team should be able to add a page, swap a photo, or change a price without raising a support ticket. We record a walkthrough at handover so it survives whoever leaves.

Not on a site that already works. The problem arrives on the day you want to leave. Some builders store the layout as their own markup, and switching them off fills every page with bracket tags. If you are building fresh, the block editor avoids that. If you have inherited a builder site, keeping it is usually cheaper than escaping it.

For a new build, the block editor, because it is what WordPress itself develops against and it keeps the layout in the content. Builders still make sense where a team is already fluent in one or a theme depends on it. We will recommend one, explain why, and then build what you decide.

Because this site was built on it, it works, and rebuilding a functioning site to make a point is a poor use of money. We would not specify it for a new project. We put it on the page instead of hoping nobody checks. Living with it is why the handover question above is not theoretical to us.

By treating every plugin as code you are trusting. The review counts them, finds duplicates and abandoned ones, and separates the ones doing real work from the ones installed for a single feature years ago. Removing plugins is usually the fastest speed and security improvement available on an old site.

Updates run on staging first, then live, with a backup taken before each one. Security is a hardened configuration, a firewall, sensible file permissions, and keeping current, rather than one plugin that claims to handle it. Because most WordPress vulnerabilities live in plugins, an audit of what is installed beats any single security tool.

Yes, host to host, staging to live, or another platform onto WordPress. The plan maps every URL and every media file, rehearses the move on staging, and sets the redirects before the switch. Migrations go wrong when the URL structure changes quietly and nobody notices for a month.

Yes, when nothing off the shelf does the job properly. It gets built as a plugin with its own update path rather than as a theme modification, so it survives a theme change. You get the code and the documentation, and you can hand it to anyone.

You do. We pick a host, register it in your name, and manage it if you would like us to. Most of our WordPress work sits on managed hosting such as Kinsta, which handles the server layer so nobody has to. We do not resell hosting, because putting ourselves between you and your own server helps nobody.

Usually, and often quite a lot. Most WordPress slowness is images, plugin count, and a builder loading scripts on every page. The deeper work on speed, crawling, and Core Web Vitals lives on our technical SEO page. The same senior lead runs both, so a build and a speed programme never contradict each other.

One senior lead owns the strategy, the structure, the copy, and the technical decisions, and stays on your account throughout. The development itself is delivered by contract developers we have worked with for years, reviewed by that lead. No development floor sits behind us, and that is worth knowing before you hire rather than after.

Anything that should not be a website: custom software, native mobile apps, and systems needing a permanent engineering team. We will also push back on building a membership or marketplace on WordPress when the requirements have outgrown it, because those projects get expensive quietly.

Yes. Komplex is based in Austin with a presence in New York City and Reykjavik, and WordPress work happens remotely by nature. Sites serving more than one country get the language and market structure planned at the start, since retrofitting it later means changing every URL.
