Frequently asked questions
Theme or custom build?
A strong theme can fit standard content; custom development is considered for distinctive rules, control or scale.
Should every need use a plugin?
No. Maintenance, security, performance and update impact determine whether a plugin or small custom feature is safer.
Can an existing site be migrated?
Yes, after content, media, users, forms and URLs are mapped and tested.
Do you guarantee a performance score?
No. Targets and test conditions are defined, while real-device and field data are monitored.
