WordPress help
Stuck with WordPress? We fix it, manage it, or move you off it.
Plenty of businesses end up with a WordPress site that is slow, out of date or one plugin update away from breaking. We can take it over and keep it running, or rebuild it as a fast custom-coded site with nothing to update. Either way, you get a team in Longview that answers the phone.
Fix and clean up · Manage it for you · Move to a custom-coded site
Three Ways We Help
We look at your site first and tell you honestly which one makes sense.
Fix it
Hacked, broken, painfully slow or showing errors? We clean it up, remove what is not needed and get it working properly again.
Manage it
If your site works and you do not want to start over, we take it over: updates, plugins, security, backups and everyday changes. See how website management works.
Move off it
We rebuild your site as a fast, custom-coded website with no plugins to update, and we carry your pages, content and Google rankings over to the new site.
Why Businesses Move Off WordPress
Most of our new websites are custom-coded, and this is why.
Nothing to update
No core updates, no plugins and no theme to keep current, so there is nothing that breaks after an update.
Fast on every phone
A custom-coded site loads only what it needs. Faster pages keep visitors around and help you in Google.
Much harder to hack
Most WordPress hacks come in through outdated plugins and login pages. A custom-coded site has neither.
Changes are still easy
Send us a quick message and we make the change. You own the website, the domain and the content, and we hand everything over if you ever leave.
We did it ourselves: in 2026 we moved graticle.com off WordPress to a custom-coded site, with every old page address redirected to its new home. See our website design.
Staying on WordPress? We Keep It Current
WordPress and its plugins need regular updates, and many of them are security fixes. Skip them and your site becomes an easy target. Install them carelessly and something can break.
We track the updates
We keep an eye on WordPress core and the plugins your site uses, and we keep the number of plugins small and reputable.
We install them carefully
Every update is backed up first and checked afterward, so a problem is caught before your visitors find it. How backups work.
We fix what breaks
If something does not play well together, we sort it out. You do not have to diagnose anything.
Questions People Ask
Should I move off WordPress?
Not always. If your site works and you publish a lot of content, keeping it on WordPress and having us manage it can be the right call. If it is slow, keeps breaking or needs constant updates, a custom-coded site is usually simpler to look after. A free website audit is the best place to start.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch?
Not if the move is done carefully. We keep your important pages and point every old page address to its new page, so Google carries your rankings over. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings, but this is how we protect them.
Can you take over my existing WordPress site?
In most cases, yes. We look at it first and tell you what is worth keeping and what is holding it back.
Will an update break my site?
It can happen with any WordPress site. We back up first, check afterward and fix problems quickly, which is much safer than updating without a safety net.
Do I own my website?
Yes. You own your website, your domain and your content, and we never hold them hostage. If you ever leave, we hand everything over.
What does it cost?
You get a clear price before anything starts, set after we understand what you need. No surprise fees and no long-term contract.
