WordPress, Elementor Pro, or headless React. Chosen for how the site needs to perform, not which tool is fashionable this quarter. Mobile PageSpeed 90+ from day one. Schema that Google trusts. Built to hold its speed for years.
For content-heavy marketing sites: WordPress with Elementor Pro. For product-led SaaS: headless React on Next.js or Astro with a Sanity or Payload CMS. For Shopify storefronts: Hydrogen. We recommend based on the project, and we stand behind the recommendation for five years, not five months.
Every build starts with a performance budget: LCP under 2.5s on 4G mobile, total JS under 180kB, CLS under 0.05. Design choices that blow the budget get rethought, not deferred.
JSON-LD for Organization, Product, Service, Article, FAQ, Review, and BreadcrumbList: scaffolded during build, validated in Rich Results Test, monitored in Search Console.
We stay on for 30 days post-launch to catch Core Web Vitals regressions, clear indexing issues, and monitor Search Console for redirect drift. You own the repo, the CMS, and the hosting.
0.9s. Mobile LCP after migration from a plugin-heavy WordPress stack to headless Next.js. Organic conversion rate doubled in the first 60 days.
