Work

What rebuilt properly actually means.

Two rebuilds so far, with numbers you can check. We would rather show you those than testimonials you can't.

Rebuild 01

A WordPress site that had been hacked.

An events site running on an aging WordPress install, hacked twice over and serving spam pages for years without the owner knowing. We rebuilt it as static pages with no plugins to exploit, moved its registration form to a locked-down form handler, and cleaned out the injected content.

Phone speed score 6899 Google's own measure, out of 100.
Time until the page appears 9.6s1.6s On a phone, on an ordinary connection.

Ways left to hack it: none of the ones that got it before. There are no plugins, no admin login, and no database the public can reach.

What changed, and what didn't.

Rebuilding a site does not mean redesigning it. This one looks the way it always did. The work is underneath.

Stayed the same

  • The design and the layout
  • Every word on the page
  • Every page address, so old links and Google results still land
  • The registration form, and the numbers it had already issued

Changed

  • Appears in 1.6 seconds instead of 9.6
  • Works properly on a phone
  • No plugins, no admin login, nothing to break in through
  • Nothing installed that can fall out of date

Rebuild 02

A Pilates studio site, rebuilt from scratch.

Built the same way from the start. A perfect 100 speed score on the first attempt.

That is the point of the standard build: the result is not luck, and it does not decay after a few months.

Phone speed score 100 First attempt, no tuning pass.
Plugins that can go out of date None There is nothing installed to fall behind.

Why it matters

Speed is not a vanity number.

A slow site loses customers before it finishes loading, and Google ranks slow sites lower — on phones especially, which is where most local searches happen.

It is the one improvement that pays for itself on both sides.

One more thing

This site.

The site you are reading is built exactly the way yours would be, on the same setup, by the same process. Nothing here is a special case built for show.
