Challenge & Approach
Challenge
The agency needed a new site with a large volume of institutional content, strict performance requirements, and no dependency on third-party plugins that could slow the site down or become a maintenance liability over time.
Our approach
A fully custom WordPress theme was built on Sage/Laravel, with 100% custom Gutenberg blocks and zero plugins, every feature developed natively. The design was reproduced pixel-perfect from the provided mockups, with technical SEO built in from the ground up and performance treated as a core constraint rather than an afterthought, across every device.
