Your WordPress site is not sacred. Your business is.
The pain signs
You probably already know. The site looks fine on your laptop but cramped on a phone. The homepage takes a beat too long before anything useful appears. Editing one sentence means clicking through three plugin screens. Every few months something asks to be updated, and you are never quite sure what breaks if you say no.
None of that means the business is wrong. It means the surface aged faster than the company did.
What we keep
We keep the useful pages and the service information. We keep the parts customers actually need. We keep the SEO history through redirects and clean URL mapping. We keep the brand details that still feel true.
The goal is not to erase your site. It is to keep what works and retire what is slow.
What we replace
We replace slow page-builder layouts. We replace plugin chains doing jobs the site no longer needs. We replace desktop-first designs that punish mobile visitors. We replace copy that says everything except the useful thing.
How the process works
Send your current URL. We review the site, then design two clickable previews of the rebuilt version. You pick the direction, or you ask for a third based on a reference site. Then we ship the site one to one with the preview you approved.
Fixed price. No moodboard archaeology. No weekly calls about button radius. The result is exactly what you saw in the preview, which is the whole point.
Proof, not vibes
In the Orfanus rebuild, the old WordPress and Elementor site loaded 11 MB across 131 requests on mobile. The rebuilt site dropped to roughly 0.2 MB and 11 requests in the measured case study, and the performance score went from 62 to 100. That is not magic. That is removing the junk before the visitor has to carry it.
When we keep WordPress
Sometimes WordPress is the right call: frequent publishing, several editors every week, WooCommerce, real plugin-driven workflows. In those cases we do not fight it. We build it lean and hand you a clean maintenance plan. The point was never to be anti-WordPress. The point is to match the machine to the job.
People also ask
-
Do you keep my WordPress site or replace it?
Whichever serves the business. If the site genuinely needs a CMS, we keep WordPress lean: custom theme, minimal plugins, no page-builder dependency. If it does not, we rebuild it static-first and give you a calmer way to edit the parts that matter. Most small-business sites are the second case.
-
How much does a WordPress redesign cost?
It is a fixed price quoted up front, not an hourly meter. You send your URL, we review it, and you get a price within 48 hours. The price does not move after you sign. See the pricing page for the four packages.
-
How long does it take?
Most rebuilds close in 10 to 14 days from the moment you send the URL. You get two click-through previews within 5 to 7 working days, you pick one, we ship it one to one.
-
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not when the migration is handled properly. We map old URLs to new ones with 301 redirects, preserve titles and metadata, keep the important content, and verify in Search Console after launch. Done right, a faster site usually helps rankings rather than hurting them.
-
What if I want to keep editing in WordPress?
Then we keep WordPress, but we strip it down: a clean custom theme, the minimum plugins, no Elementor dependency, and a sensible maintenance plan. You keep the editor you know without carrying the weight you do not need.
