WordPress development

WordPress withoutthe thirty plugins.

Most slow WordPress sites are not slow because of WordPress. They are slow because a page builder, four caching plugins and a decade of abandoned add-ons are all loading on the homepage. We build the theme properly and delete the rest.

In short

Byteinfy builds and rescues WordPress sites from $1,000: custom themes and blocks instead of a page-builder pile-up, plugins audited down to what earns its load, and a hardened, backed-up install your team can actually edit.

Last updated 8 September 2026 · Written by the Byteinfy team, which builds and operates SwipeReel and myBillPlease.

Who it is for

  • Sites built on a page builder that now take six seconds on mobile
  • Businesses whose developer disappeared and whose install has not been updated since
  • Marketing teams who want to publish without breaking the layout
  • Anyone who has been hacked once and does not want a second time

What you get

  • Custom theme, or a block theme with Gutenberg patterns your editors can safely combine
  • Advanced Custom Fields or native block bindings so content has structure instead of pasted HTML
  • Plugin audit: what stays, what goes, and what its removal is worth in load time
  • Hardening — updates, least-privilege users, disabled file editing, a real backup schedule you can restore from
  • Caching and image handling configured once, correctly, instead of three plugins fighting
  • WooCommerce work where the store is already there and moving it is not on the table

How it works

  1. 1

    Audit

    We measure the site, list every plugin and what it costs, and price the fixes as fixed items.

  2. 2

    Build

    Everything on a staging copy. Your live site is never the test environment.

  3. 3

    Ship

    Deployed in a quiet window with a restorable backup taken first.

Pricing

From $1,000

A theme build or a rescue-and-harden engagement is $1,000 to $3,500. Multisite, WooCommerce or a large migration is scoped separately.

Questions we get asked

Should we move off WordPress?
Often no. If your team publishes daily and the site is content, WordPress done properly is fine. We will tell you when a static build or Shopify is genuinely the better answer — and when it is just fashion.
Do you take over from another developer?
Yes, and that is a lot of what we do. We document what we find before we change anything so you own the picture too.
Can you keep our page builder?
If your team depends on it, yes, and we optimise around it. If nobody is using it, removing it is usually the single biggest speed win available.
