Custom WordPress Website Creation
Do you provide hosting and domain names?

Will my site be SEO optimized?
Yes — we apply SEO best practices from the start, including optimized titles, meta descriptions, and a clear structure to help Google index your site.

SEO is complex and depends on many factors like your industry’s competition, fresh content updates, and a well-thought-out keyword strategy.

Yes — we can build custom e-commerce functionality using WooCommerce, the go-to e-commerce solution for WordPress.
Do you offer maintenance after the site is launched?
We offer maintenance plans to keep your site updated, secure, and performing well after launch.

Our support team is always available by email to offer responsive, tailored technical assistance.
Can WordPress updates cause problems on my site?
Although WordPress developers strive to maintain high compatibility between versions, we can’t guarantee that major updates won’t create issues on your site. WordPress interacts with many other software components like your theme, installed extensions, and third-party plugins. Upgrading to a new version may unexpectedly cause conflicts or incompatibilities with some of these elements. Technical intervention may be needed to resolve issues and restore optimal functioning. A thorough analysis and testing process is crucial to identify and fix any failures before applying an update on your live site.
Why do WordPress plugins need regular updates?
WordPress plugins are developed by many different authors and are frequently updated for two main reasons. First, every new major version of WordPress can bring changes and improvements to the system’s core, so plugins must remain compatible to work properly. Second, the open-source community regularly identifies security vulnerabilities or bugs in existing plugins. Updates fix these flaws and malfunctions. Keeping your plugins up to date ensures the best integration with WordPress and improves your site’s security and stability. Neglecting updates exposes your platform to technical failures and malicious attacks.
Can I rely on my web host to manage WordPress updates?
Web hosts’ policies on automatic WordPress updates vary greatly. Some hosting services include regular WordPress updates, while others leave this responsibility entirely to site owners. It’s essential to check with your current host about how they handle WordPress version management. Read their documentation or contact their support team to understand their exact update processes. Based on their answer, you’ll know whether they handle this critical task for your site’s security or if you’ll need to manage it manually.
À quelle fréquence dois-je sauvegarder mon site web?
For maximum data protection, we recommend setting up an automatic backup system that creates copies of your site daily. This high frequency makes sense because your site content typically evolves regularly — pages, blog posts, media, and user data. Performing a full backup every day ensures you have a complete, recent restore point in case of a major incident. Daily backups are the best rhythm for keeping your web platform safe.
What are the benefits of regular website backups?
Frequent backups are essential for several reasons. They protect you against the potentially disastrous consequences of unexpected incidents like malware infections or hardware failures. With up-to-date backup copies, you can quickly and easily restore your entire site to its previous state. This prevents irreversible loss of important data like content, settings, or client information. Regular backups are a vital safety net to preserve the integrity of your site and the sustainability of your online presence.
Can I rely on my web host to update my WordPress plugins?
No — most web hosts don’t include plugin updates in their hosting plans. This maintenance task is the responsibility of the site owner or technical manager. Hosts generally focus on the hosting infrastructure (servers, storage, network performance, etc.) but don’t handle third-party software components like plugins. It’s up to you — or a trusted specialist — to keep your plugins updated, check compatibility, and safely install new versions. Don’t rely on your host for this critical part of site maintenance.
Graphic design service
Do I own the final deliverables?
Yes. Once the project is delivered, you own all rights to the final designs. You’re free to use them however you wish.
What types of projects do you not accept?
We don’t take on projects that involve illegal or discriminatory content, or projects completely outside our expertise (like heavy non-web development, on-site video production/shooting, or advanced 3D creation).
What’s the difference between the monthly plan and the hourly bank?
Monthly Plan (for ongoing requests): Perfect for regular needs (recurring visuals, small monthly requests). It’s ideal if you feel you need a designer on your team but don’t have the time to hire and train one.
Hourly Bank (3–5 requests per year): Ideal for occasional or more complex needs. The bank stays valid as long as you have time left.
What if I don’t like the design?
If the final result doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ll discuss it together and make the necessary adjustments.
Which software do you use?
We work with the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.
Does the monthly plan include large projects like a full logo or website mockup?
Very large projects (full logo, complete visual identity, website mockup) are not included in the basic monthly plan. However, they can be done for an additional fee or through a dedicated hourly bank.
When will I receive my design?
The average turnaround is 24–48 hours, depending on the complexity of the request and our current workload. For larger projects, delivery may take longer, but you’ll always get a clear time estimate upfront.
The file isn’t the right size, or I need additional versions — what should I do?
No problem! Just email us with the desired dimensions or tell us where you plan to use the visual, and we’ll take care of the rest.
