WordPress websites
The world’s most popular CMS – made faster, lighter and smarter.
WordPress powers more than 40% of websites, and remains a popular option for many businesses and organisations. With thousands of plugins, powerful SEO tools and a user-friendly editor, it remains one of the most versatile ways to build an online home for your organisation.
Whether you need a new website, an upgrade to your existing site or regular maintenance to optimise performance, our WordPress services can be tailored to fit your organisation’s exact needs.
Why optimize WordPress?
WordPress is one of the most versatile and dependable website platforms available – there’s a reason it’s still the world’s most popular CMS. But over time, even well-built sites can become slow, bloated or difficult to manage.
At Hekla, we help organizations get more from their existing WordPress builds. We audit, streamline and modernise – removing unnecessary plugins, improving page speed and simplifying content management without disrupting your live site.
Our goal is to make your website leaner, faster and easier to maintain, so it keeps performing while you plan for what’s next. And when you’re ready to take that next step – whether that’s a rebuild, a headless setup, or migration to another platform – we’ll guide you through it with clear, honest advice.
Who is WordPress for?
WordPress websites are ideal for:
Organizations that want flexibility without the complexity of custom platforms
Teams looking for a budget-friendly, proven CMS with endless plugin support
Clients with existing WordPress sites who need maintenance or optimisation rather than a full rebuild








You'll be in good company






How Hekla helps
At Hekla, we’ve been developing with WordPress for over 16 years. We understand its quirks, its challenges and how to maximize its capabilities effectively.
We design and build modern WordPress websites using robust frameworks, ensuring your site is fast, flexible and simple for your team to manage. For organisations with existing sites, we offer audits to streamline performance, remove unnecessary plugins and resolve technical issues that slow sites down. Through our maintenance and hosting services, we can also handle updates, backups, security and performance monitoring across your WordPress website.
We also support businesses looking to migrate from WordPress to a more modern headless setup like Storyblok. Whatever stage your website is at, we’ll help you keep it performing and plan for what’s next.
