WordPress Enhancements for Building Radar | 2023

In 2023, we revamped Building Radar’s WordPress site, enhancing their references section and overall website effectiveness. Besides redesigning for business focus, we boosted site speed, improving Google PageSpeed Insights score and user engagement metrics.
Accommodation Platform WordPress Website | 2022

Cansmith, a marketing agency, approached us in 2022 to develop a website for a new business venture, Nena Apartments – a stylish apartment rental service targeting a younger audience. Their requirement was a visually appealing, multilingual site website that mirrored the modern and unique interior design of the apartments. The design for the project was delivered by Cansmith, while our focus was on implementation. An additional challenge lay in a very tight budget and timeline, since the site was for a startup that was waiting for completion of the website before they could launch their business.

What does WordPress mean to me?

In 2013 – at the time I was still running a bookstore – I started playing around with WordPress in my free time and discovered a passion for CSS and web design. This led me from private projects to websites for smaller companies, and over the decade that followed I went from a complete beginner to a senior WordPress developer. Today I run a digital agency, so … definitely no regrets.

Along the way I’ve worked with lots of different CMS and frameworks, but your first CMS is like your first car – and I still enjoy taking WordPress out for a spin when I get the chance to get involved in project work and do some developing.

Our thoughts on WordPress

We love working with WordPress, but it’s our job as an agency to provide impartial guidance on where each technology shines – and where it falls short. Here are our thoughts on WordPress.

Where WordPress shines

The huge number of available plugins make it possible to achieve a lot in a short time.
Thanks to WooCommerce, WordPress is a serious contender for ecommerce projects.
The Gutenberg editor is fast and intuitive.
Incredibly strong community support.

Where WordPress falls short

An over-reliance on plugins can lead to speed, compatibility & security issues.
Very complex sites are better served with a more structured CMS.
The most popular CMS makes WordPress the most popular target for hacking.

Recent WordPress topics

The next phase of Gutenberg, which is set to focus on workflows and collaboration, sounds like an exciting step forwards.
October 2023 saw the 3rd major release for the year with WordPress 6.4.

The future of WordPress

WordPress has seen constant growth for 15 years, and this trend has shown no signs of slowing down.
As a CMS it will remain a safe choice in terms of developer and community support
