WordPress powers 43% of the internet. Most agencies treat it as a template engine. We treat it as an engineering platform — and we’ve built everything from pan-African media portals to government e-certification systems on it.
When Forbes Africa needed a redesign, they came to us. We nearly tripled their load speed while lazy-loading 200+ articles on the homepage. When CNBC Africa needed a frontend refresh, we did it on a WordPress + Next.js headless architecture. When Infosys needed an enterprise marketplace deployed on Azure, we built it on WordPress with Azure B2C, Azure Search, and Azure Blob integration.
WordPress isn’t a limitation. In the right hands, it’s one of the most powerful and flexible platforms in existence.

We worked with Aravind & Vinuraj. Their team delivered exactly what we needed in time and on budget. The project was building a frontend on the Frontity (a react-based framework) with a wordpress backend, building a headless site for our digital publishing venture. We will work with their team again on projects in the future.
