Our WordPress Services

Design. Maintain. Optimize.

Three complete service tracks β€” choose one or combine them. Most clients start with a build and move to a monthly retainer.

  • Block theme & FSE compatible
  • Mobile-first responsive design
  • Accessibility (WCAG 2.1) compliant
WooCommerce Development

  • Stripe, PayPal, and local gateways
  • Custom product & variation setups
  • Abandoned cart & recovery flows
Plugin Development & Customization

Custom WordPress plugins built to your exact requirements β€” or existing plugins modified and extended without touching core files.

  • Custom post types & taxonomies
  • REST API integrations
  • Third-party CRM / CMS connections
Site Migration & Staging

Zero-downtime migrations from any host or CMS to WordPress β€” with staging environments, rollback plans, and full data integrity checks.

  • Squarespace, Wix, Shopify → WP
  • Staging & production workflows
  • DNS, SSL & domain management
Gutenberg & ACF Development

Custom Gutenberg blocks and Advanced Custom Fields setups that give clients a powerful, easy-to-use CMS without needing a developer for every edit.

  • Custom block library creation
  • ACF flexible content layouts
  • Full site editing (FSE) setup
Headless WordPress

WordPress as a headless CMS powering React, Next.js, or Gatsby front-ends β€” combining WordPress's editorial ease with modern frontend performance.

  • WPGraphQL & REST API setup
  • Next.js / Gatsby frontend builds
  • ISR & SSG configuration
Core, Plugin & Theme Updates

Weekly tested updates to WordPress core, all plugins, and themes β€” applied on a staging site first, then pushed live after verification. Never a broken update.

Security Monitoring & Hardening

24/7 malware scanning, firewall configuration, login protection, file integrity monitoring, and two-factor authentication setup. We catch threats before they cause damage.

Automated Backups & Restore

Daily automated backups stored off-site with 30-day retention. One-click restore capability β€” if anything goes wrong, we roll back in minutes, not hours.

Uptime Monitoring

60-second interval uptime monitoring across multiple global checkpoints. Instant alerts and immediate response when downtime is detected β€” before your clients notice.

Priority Support & Dev Hours

Monthly development hours included in your retainer for small changes, content updates, new page builds, and bug fixes β€” handled with same-day response times.

Monthly Health Reports

A clear monthly report covering updates applied, security events blocked, uptime percentage, performance scores, and backup status β€” white-label ready for agencies.

Database Optimization

Regular database cleanup β€” removing auto-drafts, spam comments, transients, and post revisions that bloat your database and slow query times over months of use.

Hosting Management

Server configuration, PHP version management, caching stack setup (Redis, Varnish, OPcache), and CDN integration β€” managed on your behalf or through our recommended hosting partners.

Core Web Vitals Optimization

We fix LCP, CLS, and INP at the root β€” image optimization, font loading strategy, render-blocking resource elimination, and layout shift fixes.

Caching & CDN Setup

Full caching stack configuration β€” page cache, object cache (Redis/Memcached), browser cache headers, and CDN integration with Cloudflare or BunnyCDN.

Image Optimization & WebP

Bulk image compression, next-gen WebP/AVIF conversion, lazy loading implementation, and srcset configuration for responsive images.

Code Minification & Cleanup

CSS/JS minification, unused code removal, plugin audit to eliminate dead weight, and critical CSS extraction for above-the-fold render speed.

On-Page SEO for WordPress

Yoast / RankMath configuration, schema markup implementation, XML sitemap setup, canonical URLs, and meta optimization across all post types.

Why 4D Legacy

Why Agencies & Developers
Trust Us With WordPress

We're not a generalist web agency that also does WordPress. WordPress is our core competency β€” built into every service we offer.

No Page Builders

We don't use Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery. Custom code only β€” resulting in faster, cleaner sites that are easier to maintain and don't break on plugin updates.

Full Transparency

You own every account, credential, and repository. Full Git access, full cPanel/server access β€” we never hold your site hostage. No lock-in, ever.

White-Label Ready

Monthly reports are fully white-labeled for agencies reselling our maintenance services to their clients. Your brand, your pricing, our execution.

Performance First

Every site we build or maintain targets a 90+ PageSpeed score. We don't hand over slow sites β€” performance is part of the deliverable, not an add-on.

Integrated Services

WordPress sits alongside our SEO, Google Ads, and social media services. When your site is managed by the same team running your marketing, everything works together.

Security Without Drama

WordPress is the most targeted CMS in the world. We treat security proactively β€” hardening, monitoring, and patching before a breach happens, not after.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?
No. We build with custom PHP, custom Gutenberg blocks, and ACF β€” no page builders. Page builders add significant bloat to your site, slow it down, create long-term maintenance debt, and often break on major WordPress updates. Our custom builds are faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain long-term.
Can you take over maintenance of a site you didn't build?
Yes. We audit the site first β€” reviewing the codebase, plugins, performance, and security posture. If there are significant issues we'll flag them upfront with a remediation plan. Once the audit is clean, we onboard the site into our maintenance stack. We take over sites built with any theme or builder.
How long does a WordPress build take?
The Business Site package typically delivers in 3–4 weeks. E-Commerce builds take 5–7 weeks depending on catalog size and custom requirements. Custom / headless builds are scoped individually β€” typically 8–14 weeks. Timelines start from the date we receive all required content and brand assets from you.
Do you offer white-label WordPress maintenance for agencies?
Yes β€” our Pro Care and Agency Care plans include white-label monthly reports branded with your agency's logo and color scheme. We work as a silent partner behind the scenes. Your clients see your brand, your pricing. We handle all technical execution. Several agencies use us to scale their WordPress offering without hiring in-house.
What hosting do you recommend or manage?
We work with any host but recommend Kinsta, WP Engine, or Cloudways for managed WordPress hosting. For performance-critical builds we often configure Nginx, Redis object cache, and Cloudflare CDN. We can manage hosting on your behalf or train your team on server management β€” whichever fits your setup.
Do you build headless WordPress with Next.js?
Yes β€” this is one of our specialities under the Custom Build package. We set up WordPress as a headless CMS using WPGraphQL, build the front-end in Next.js (with ISR or SSG), configure Vercel or Netlify deployment, and handle the full editorial workflow so content editors still have a familiar WordPress interface while the front-end performs like a modern web app.
