WordPress sites you can edit, built to stay fast

Only when a client already runs one and wants to keep editing the way they know. Page builders make the first version quick and every version after it heavier — they ship large amounts of CSS and JavaScript regardless of what a page uses, and they lock the site to a plugin that has to keep being paid for and updated. When we build from scratch we use a custom theme with proper editable fields, which is faster and easier to edit for the things that actually change.

WordPress core is well maintained; the overwhelming majority of compromised sites are running outdated plugins, abandoned themes, or a password reused from somewhere else. Security on a WordPress site is a maintenance question rather than a platform question, which is why updates, backups and patching are the substance of a care plan rather than an add-on to it.

The count matters less than what each one loads and whether anyone still uses it. A site with twelve well-chosen plugins can be faster than one with five badly built ones. The real problem is accumulation — plugins added for a campaign three years ago, still loading scripts on every page. Part of any redesign or care plan is auditing what is installed and removing what has stopped earning its place.

WordPress when you want to edit content yourself, add pages and posts freely, and use a large ecosystem of integrations. A fast static build when the content changes rarely and speed and security matter more than daily editing — this site is built that way. Shopify or WooCommerce when there is a catalogue to sell. InceptiCode picks the platform to fit the business rather than to fit a subscription we resell, and will tell you what you are getting and why.

Our business websites start at C$2,490, and most business projects land between C$2,490–C$4,990. Online stores start at C$3,990, with larger stores typically C$5,900–C$8,900+. What moves a project up the range is page count, custom functionality, integrations, whether we write the content, and multilingual requirements. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Yes. You own the domain, the hosting account, the website files, the design and the content. Everything is registered in your name, and you get the logins. If you ever decide to work with someone else, you take it all with you and we will help with the handover.

Hosting is not included in the build price, and we deliberately keep it in your name rather than reselling it to you. We will recommend a suitable host for your site, set it up, and hand you the account. Typical hosting for a business site runs a few hundred dollars a year, paid directly to the host.

Yes. We build on platforms you can edit without a developer, and we show you how — text, images, prices, new pages, blog posts. For anything structural you can come back to us, but day-to-day changes should not require an invoice.

Yes. We move content, images, product data and URLs, and we redirect the old addresses to the new ones so nothing that Google already knows about turns into a broken link. For online stores we migrate products, collections, customers and order history where the platforms allow it.
