Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you use page builders like Elementor?
- We write custom code rather than relying on page builders. This gives you faster load times, cleaner code, and a theme that's actually maintainable long-term.
- Will I be able to edit the site myself?
- Yes. We configure the WordPress admin with intuitive custom fields (ACF) so you can update content without touching code.
- How long does a typical WordPress project take?
- A standard custom theme project takes 4–8 weeks. Complex LMS or WooCommerce builds typically run 8–16 weeks.
