WordPress website design for small businesses.
MakeAndUpdate designs and builds WordPress websites that stay fast — the opposite of the slow, plugin-heavy sites WordPress is known for. Nicholas Cabel builds on WordPress when you want to manage content yourself, then strips the bloat so the site still loads in under a second and ranks well. You get the easy editing of WordPress without the speed penalty.

Common questions
Is WordPress bad for speed?
It can be, when it is loaded with page builders and dozens of plugins. Built lean — minimal plugins, clean templates, and proper caching — WordPress can load in under a second and pass Core Web Vitals. That is how I build it.
Can I edit the website myself?
Yes. WordPress gives you a simple dashboard to update text, images, prices, hours, and blog posts without touching code. I set it up so the parts you change are easy to find.
Do you use Elementor or a page builder?
Generally no. Page builders add weight that slows the site and hurts SEO. I build clean, lightweight templates instead, so you get speed without giving up easy editing.
How much is a WordPress website?
Every build is scoped and priced to you, depending on pages and features, with optional monthly maintenance sized to how often your site changes. You always get a fixed quote before any work begins.
