Frequently asked questions about WordPress Development:
Is WordPress the right choice for high-traffic websites or websites with thousands of pages of content?
WordPress has grown up quite a bit since its early days as a blogging tool. It’s now used by enterprises and major organizations, and powers nearly 40% of the web. WordPress can be found in every major industry including healthcare, B2B, software as a service (SaaS), nonprofit, professional organizations, destinations & tourism, and ecommerce.
Why Choose WordPress over Drupal?
Our team is very comfortable working in both WordPress and Drupal. We find both to be compelling tools, but each brings unique benefits depending on your needs. You can read more about comparing WordPress to Drupal on our Blog
Is WordPress secure?
WordPress’s early history was plagued with security issues, but increasing adoption, a wide network of developers, and a renewed focus on security has made WordPress a safe choice for organizations, enterprises, and companies of all sizes.
Do you build headless or decoupled WordPress websites?
Yes! We have considerable experience working with headless WordPress, including coupling WordPress with javascript frameworks such as React and Vue.
Do you design custom WordPress themes?
Yes: a majority of our sites use a custom WordPress theme, though we can also work with existing/out-of-the-box themes.
Can you work with Elementor or existing themes?
Yes – when we’re not creating a custom theme, we leverage platforms such as Elementor to provide additional tools on top of the default WordPress install.
Where is your Team Based?
Eastern Standard has its roots as a Philadelphia WordPress agency, but we are now a remote company with team members across the U.S. We use a variety of remote-work tools to ensure smooth, effective collaboration across geographic lines. We’re also willing to travel for key meetings and events!
