Custom architecture with preview deployments from week one and no hidden regressions.

04Evolve

Launched means version 1.0.

Retainer execution for features, UX refinements, and conversion experiments that compound.

Investment rationale

Pricing tied to outcomes,
not page count.

Why custom commands a higher entry point: WordPress builds typically depend on 20–30 plugins, create recurring security exposure, and often load around 4.5 seconds. Modern custom Next.js builds with static generation and CDN delivery can load under 1.5 seconds, and every extra second can cost around 20% of conversions.

Over three years, agency WordPress projects can total roughly £7.7k–£23.1k once hosting, maintenance, and plugin renewals are added. Custom architecture is a higher upfront investment with cleaner long-term ownership.

Plugin dependency risk

The average WordPress build relies on 20–30 plugins. When updates lapse, those plugins become a recurring security risk.

Security exposure

Industry reporting cites roughly 30,000 WordPress sites hacked daily, commonly through outdated plugin vulnerabilities.

Speed and stability

Typical WordPress sites load around 4.5 seconds; modern custom builds with static generation and CDN delivery can load under 1.5 seconds.

Conversion impact

Every extra second of page-load delay can cost roughly 20% of conversions.

3-year ownership cost

A WordPress site from an agency can total about £7.7k–£23.1k over three years with hosting, maintenance, and plugin renewals. A custom build is usually a larger one-off investment with lower recurring platform fees.

Payment structure

20% deposit, 40% after design sign-off, 40% upon launch.

Projects under $23,000 follow a 50/50 structure.
