Questions

A few we hear often.

How long does a build take?

Three to six weeks from kickoff to production, depending on tier and content readiness.

Do you use page builders?

No. Hand-coded child theme on GeneratePress, every template written in PHP and CSS.

What is the parent theme?

GeneratePress. Baseline weight around 10 KB compressed, which keeps the 80 KB budget feasible.

Do you handle hosting?

Hostinger Business is recommended. LiteSpeed plus the request count budget gets the request ceiling to 12.
