Why It Matters

WordPress Problems, Solved

Every benefit addresses a real pain point you've probably experienced.

Worry-Free Security

No more emergency calls about hacked sites. Bedrock keeps your credentials protected and plugins isolated. Sleep at night.

Painless Updates

Updates that don't break everything. Composer manages your dependencies, so updates are predictable, tested, and reversible.

Modern Development

Blade templating, Tailwind CSS, proper build tools. Your developers will actually enjoy maintaining the site instead of dreading it.

Multi-Environment Ready

Development, staging, production - all properly separated. No more testing on the live site and hoping nothing breaks.

Future-Proof Investment

Built on solid foundations that grow with your business. Any competent developer can pick it up - you're never locked in to us.

Enterprise Structure, SMB Price

The same architecture Fortune 500 companies use, without the Fortune 500 budget. Professional-grade doesn't mean expensive.

Full Block Editor Support

Sage themes work beautifully with Gutenberg. Give your content team the editing tools they need while keeping developers happy.

How We Work

A proven approach to building WordPress sites that last.

  1. Discovery
    We understand your business, content needs, and growth plans. No cookie-cutter solutions - we design what's right for you.

  2. Architecture
    We plan the right structure with Bedrock, configure environments, and set up version control for your specific requirements.

  3. Development
    We build your site using Sage for the theme, with Blade templates and Tailwind CSS. Clean, maintainable code you can rely on.

  4. Migration & Launch
    If you have existing content, we migrate it carefully. Trellis handles deployment with zero-downtime releases.

  5. Training & Handoff
    Your team gets trained on content management. Full documentation ensures anyone can maintain the site going forward.

Roots.io vs Traditional WordPress

Traditional WordPress Roots.io Stack
Files everywhere, security nightmare Clean separation, credentials protected
Plugin update roulette Composer-managed, reversible updates
FTP deployment, crossing fingers Git-based, automated deployment
PHP 7.x often required PHP 8.3+ with modern features
"Hope it works on production" Proper dev/staging/production environments

Common Questions

Will my existing plugins work?

Yes, most WordPress plugins work perfectly with Bedrock. We help you identify any problematic ones and find better alternatives if needed. The plugin ecosystem remains fully available.

Is this more expensive than regular WordPress?

Initial investment is similar. But maintenance costs drop significantly over time - fewer emergencies, easier updates, faster development. Most clients see positive ROI within the first year.

Can my team still update content easily?

Absolutely. The WordPress admin and Block Editor work exactly as expected. Your content team won't notice any difference - they just get a faster, more reliable editing experience.

What about hosting requirements?

You need a VPS or managed host that supports SSH and Composer. We configure Trellis for DigitalOcean, AWS, or any compatible provider. Shared hosting won't work, but the upgrade is worth it.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes, we provide maintenance plans tailored to your needs - security monitoring, updates, performance optimization, and priority support. We're in it for the long haul.

Need More Than WordPress?

Sometimes WordPress isn't the right fit. Our Laravel development services handle complex custom applications when you need more power.

Running WooCommerce?

If you're using WordPress for e-commerce and hitting limits, consider migrating to Shopify for a hassle-free store experience.
