Why Vercel for this

WordPress is excellent at what it is for: content your team publishes often, without engineering involvement. We build to that strength rather than forcing it to behave like an application framework.

Vercel is strongest at preview deployments per pull request and effortless incremental regeneration at scale. For wordpress development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.

The honest trade-off: pricing at very high bandwidth favours a self-managed CDN. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions

Is WordPress secure enough for a business?

Yes, with discipline, current core, minimal audited plugins, hardened logins, and backups you have actually restored from. Nearly every WordPress compromise traces to an abandoned plugin or a stale install.

Our WordPress site is slow. Can you fix it?

Usually, and usually without a rebuild. An audit typically finds a handful of plugins, unoptimised images and missing caching accounting for most of it.

Custom theme or a purchased one?

Custom for anything you will live with for years, bought themes carry code you did not choose and cannot easily remove. A premium theme is reasonable for a short-lived campaign site.

Alternatives for wordpress development
