What we do in performance
The unsexy work that decides whether your site lands.
Core Web Vitals optimisation
LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1. Targeted, measurable, mobile-first.
Image & asset pipeline
WebP/AVIF, responsive sizes, lazy load, CDN. Sometimes 60% of the speed win lives here.
Plugin & code audit
Identify the heavy hitters, remove or replace. Fewer plugins, faster load, less risk.
Caching & hosting tuning
Page cache, object cache, CDN, hosting recommendations — tuned for your stack.
Four ways to start
Most clients don’t start with a full rebuild.
Pick the size of job that matches where you actually are.
Fix something today, run a focused improvement sprint, scope a proper project, or move onto monthly support — whichever matches the problem you actually have.

Something on your site is broken, slow, or behaving badly. We diagnose it, give you a fixed-price quote, then fix and test it.

Case study — Subscription eCommerce
Rasoibox: custom subscription eCommerce platform built from the ground up.
- RecurringStripe-powered billing
- Self-servecustomer portal
- Tech Partnerongoing since launch
THE PROBLEM
Rasoibox needed more than a standard WooCommerce store. They required a fully custom subscription platform — recurring billing, a customer portal for managing deliveries, automated fulfilment notifications, and integration with their operations workflow. No off-the-shelf solution handled all of it cleanly.
WHAT WE DID
Custom subscription eCommerce platform on WordPress — Stripe-powered recurring billing, customer portal (pause, skip, manage deliveries), automated order and fulfilment notifications, integration with their logistics workflow, and a management dashboard for the operations team. Ongoing platform development as the business evolves.
RESULTS
- Subscription platform processes recurring orders without manual intervention
- Customers manage pause, skip, and swap directly via their portal — eliminates the highest-volume support tickets
- Operations dashboard saves 5–8 staff hours per week previously lost to manual fulfilment
- Platform now powers all order flow; new features ship monthly on Tech Partner retainer
How we work
From brief to launch in three clear steps.
Same shape for fixes, sprints, and projects — only the depth changes. Every step has a fixed price agreed in writing before any work begins.
Step 1
Brief & quote
You send us your URL, the problem, and your goal. We reply within one business day with a fit check and either a fixed-price quote or a 30-min scoping call.
What you get:
✓ Reply within 1 business day
✓ Fixed-price quote in writing
✓ Clear what’s in, what’s out
✓ Honest “not the right fit” if so
Step 2
Build & test
We do the work on a staging environment where it makes sense, with weekly updates on bigger projects. Tested before launch — we don’t pray, we verify.
What we do:
✓ Build on staging where possible
✓ Weekly updates on multi-week work
✓ Test on real devices and browsers
✓ No surprise scope or invoices
Step 3
Launch & support
We launch, hand over a written summary and short walkthrough, then offer a monthly support plan if it fits. No pressure — most clients move onto Care or Growth, some don’t, and that’s fine.
What you get:
✓ Written launch summary
✓ Recorded walkthrough you can keep
✓ Optional support plan if it fits
✓ 30-day post-launch email support
Tell us what’s broken, what you want to improve, or what you want to build. We’ll come back with a clear next step.
