Enterprise WordPress development

Yes. Time, TechCrunch and The New Yorker use WordPress and have millions of page views a month. How much a site can take depends on how it's built and run. In our setup, FrankenPHP Worker Mode keeps the application ready in memory, and Redis caches heavy database lookups. Search goes to a separate search engine, so the database doesn't carry that load.

WPFluent gives WordPress a fixed structure modelled on Laravel. The logic, the database lookups and the display of content are kept apart, and each part is tested automatically before it's published. The code is easier to learn and to change, which keeps maintenance cheaper.

With Worker Mode the application stays started and ready in memory. Each request skips the start-up that classic PHP-FPM repeats for every page view. Response times fall from a couple of hundred milliseconds to well under thirty, and the server handles traffic peaks with less hardware. That means lower running costs day to day and more capacity when a campaign sends a thousand visitors at once.

Both move parts of the site out of WordPress, but to different degrees. With headless, a separate frontend builds the whole site and fetches the content from WordPress through an API. That gives the best performance, but you lose content preview and the Gutenberg editor, and frontend changes need a developer. Hybrid keeps the WordPress theme and editing tools and uses a separate frontend only where there's a clear gain. The table above compares them point by point.

Yes. First we map what's actually in use. Then we remove plugins nobody needs and move the custom code into WPFluent. Content and design come across as they are. Before anything is published, we test thoroughly, and the switch happens without downtime. To visitors, the site looks the same as before.

Enterprise WordPress with CRM or ERP integrations costs from NOK 150,000, and enterprise WooCommerce with dedicated search and load balancing from NOK 200,000. If an ordinary business website is all you need, the price starts at NOK 50,000. Where your project ends up depends on the number of integrations and how much custom logic is needed. After a first conversation you get a concrete estimate. Our pricing overview lists prices for the other WordPress services.

The theme decides how the site looks. Plugins decide what it can do, such as logged-in pages, connections to other systems and custom content types. We build both but keep them apart, because the functionality belongs in plugins. If the logic lives in the theme, it disappears when the design changes and has to be rebuilt. With two separate layers you can change the look without touching the functionality.

Yes. We connect WordPress to Tripletex, Power Office, HubSpot and booking systems with our own integrations built on WPFluent. We avoid ready-made connector plugins from the marketplace, because they often stop working after an update and can leave data missing. An integration written for you follows your data model and handles Norwegian organisation numbers and VAT rates correctly. It can sync continuously, so you don't wait for an overnight batch.

Probably not. For most businesses, hybrid gives a site that's almost as fast, with much less complexity, and editors keep the tools they know. Headless costs more to build and maintain, and the gain is often smaller than expected. We only recommend it when concrete performance figures or frontend requirements justify it.

Bedrock gives WordPress dependency management with Composer, environment variables and a tidy project structure to start from. WPFluent builds on the same principles and also adds a fixed structure for the code itself and automated tests. Bedrock sorts out how the files are organised, while WPFluent sets out how the application itself is built. In projects where Bedrock fits, we use parts of it alongside WPFluent.
