WordPress was the right call in 2015. Not in 2026.Custom code for €2,500 in 7 working days.
We move your site off WordPress to custom code: a business website for €2,500 in 7 working days, price fixed in the contract. Every Google ranking stays put. 25+ projects — zero SEO drops. Your content, comments, and media come with you.
What WordPress actually costs you.
Hosting is just the surface. Here's what you're paying every month — whether you notice it or not:
Plugins
Yoast Premium, Wordfence, caching, forms, backups. Every plugin is a subscription, an update, and a potential vulnerability.
Hosting + CDN
WP-optimised hosting (Kinsta, WP Engine) starts at €30/mo. Cheap hosting = slow site. Either way, you pay.
Security
WordPress is the #1 target for attackers. Brute-force, XSS, plugin vulnerabilities. Without monthly audits — it's a matter of when, not if.
Over 36 months that adds up to thousands on top of the original build. We charge once — €2,500, first year of hosting and support included, then €120/yr.
WordPress vs Code-Site. Honest.
No spin. What we actually see across 25+ projects.
| Criterion | WordPress | Code-Site |
|---|---|---|
| Loading speed | LCP 3–5 seconds | LCP under 1 second |
| Monthly cost | €50–200 (plugins + hosting + maintenance) | €0 year one, then hosting €120/yr |
| Security | weekly patches, breach risk | no attack surface — it's static code |
| Content editing | Gutenberg / Elementor — confusing, breaks | Sanity Studio — edit from your phone |
| Custom feature | "find a plugin or hire a dev" | written in the brief, built in code |
| Code ownership | shared, theme-bound | yours. In your GitHub from commit one |
| Time to launch | 2–4 months with an agency | 7 working days (business website) |
| Migrating to another stack later | extremely painful | clean — Next.js ports to any infra |
| SEO capability | Yoast + a stack of plugins | schema.org + sitemaps + Core Web Vitals tuned by hand |

Construction on Bornholm is a tight niche. We were nervous about losing even the small Google traction we had. Thirty days after the move, traffic held. Sixty days in, it was climbing. Inquiries went from 3 a month to 24. The team wrote the content, ran the QA, and shipped. We just got the keys.

“What about my SEO?” Nothing happens. It all stays.
This is the #1 question we get. Here's the straight answer:
25+ projects · 0 drops
We've migrated dozens of sites off WordPress and other platforms. Not one lost rankings for more than a week. In most cases, rankings climbed 30–60 days post-launch — a faster site is a better-ranked site.
301 redirects for every URL
Every old URL → new URL. No exceptions. We build the redirect map before launch, you approve it, we ship. Google figures out the move in 7–14 days.
Schema.org and Open Graph carry over
Your current schema (Article, Organization, BreadcrumbList) transfers 1-for-1. We usually upgrade it — add what Yoast missed.
Meta content and H1/H2 stay yours
We don't touch on-page copy without your sign-off. Titles, descriptions, headings — all carry over. Want a refresh? That's a separate copywriting session.
For the first 30 days post-launch, we watch your Search Console daily. If something goes sideways, we fix it the same day. It's covered under your warranty.
Sanity Studio. The admin you work with, not against.
The biggest fear before migration is “how will I edit without WordPress?” Sanity isn't WordPress. It's better: drag-and-drop blocks that can't break the layout, full mobile editing, multi-language and SEO out of the box — no plugins required.
| What you do daily | WordPress | Sanity Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Drag-and-drop blocks | via Gutenberg / Elementor — theme conflicts | built in, typed — can't break the layout |
| Mobile editing | exists in theory, painful in practice | full editing from your phone, same as desktop |
| Create a new page | possible, but mind the template | one click, template already set |
| Create a new block type | need a PHP dev or a plugin | drag-and-drop, no code |
| Multi-language | WPML plugin, €99/year | built in, free |
| SEO (title, meta, OG, schema) | Yoast Premium, €99/year | fields on every document, free |
| Real-time collaboration | none (just record-locking) | like Google Docs — multiple editors at once |
| Version history | basic, only on paid hosting | full, one-click rollback |
| Security updates | weekly — risk of breaking the site | we host it, you update nothing |
| Cost for a team up to 5 | €30+/mo hosting + plugins | €0 for the admin |
6 things you do without a developer
Drag-and-drop blocks
Drag sections onto a page — text, image, form, testimonials, FAQ. Every block has rules, so you can't break the layout.
Works on your phone
Actually works. Not “responsive admin for emergencies” — full editing from mobile. Read a testimonial on the train — publish before you reach the office.
Create new pages yourself
No developer needed. Click “new entry,” pick a template, fill the fields, publish. 5 minutes.
Multi-language built in
Every field has UK and EN versions. Translate here — it renders there. No plugins, no extra fees.
SEO without Yoast
Every page has title, meta-description, OG-image, canonical, schema.org fields. Fill them in — Google sees them.
Free for teams up to 5
Your marketer + assistant + copywriter + editor + you — €0 per month. Paid tier kicks in at editor #6.
Sanity Studio is open-source. If you decide to leave us in 5 years — the Studio stays with you, content exports to JSON, you migrate anywhere. No vendor lock-in.

What we don't do.
Not every WP site should come to us. Here's when we'll say no:
WooCommerce sites with 5,000+ SKUs
Shopify or a separate custom project is the right call.
WP-Multisite networks
That's a different architecture, not our wheelhouse.
Sites with custom plugins written for your business
If your operation depends on bespoke PHP logic, rewriting it in TypeScript is a separate project. We'll tell you straight.
If your case isn't on this list, send us the link. The audit is free and comes within 24 hours — we'll tell you if we're a fit or if you should look elsewhere.
