A whole-site perspective

Your homepage is
only the beginning.

A beautiful first impression should hold together when someone opens a service page, reads an article or tries to get in touch. We connect the details that make the whole website feel like your business.

01

Design that belongs together.

A refined homepage should lead into equally considered service pages, articles and contact forms. We shape typography, color, photography, spacing and reusable layouts into one recognizable experience.

Sitewide templates · mobile layouts · consistent components
02

A message people understand.

Clarify what you offer, who it is for and why it matters. Turn vague headlines and crowded menus into useful service explanations, genuine proof and a clear next step.

Brand direction · page strategy · edited website copy
03

Speed with a purpose.

Review the theme, plugins, images, fonts, scripts, caching and hosting together. Prioritize the work that makes pages easier to load and use while keeping the functionality your customers need.

Mobile performance · template testing · practical priorities
04

More room for the business to grow.

Build a foundation for focused landing pages, stronger service content and connected inquiries. Keep useful tools where they fit; scope deeper integrations when they solve an actual problem.

WordPress speed optimization

Near-perfect scores.
A better experience behind them.

We aim high without making a promise your hosting, plugins or required tools cannot support. The goal is a website that feels fast and works beautifully—not a score achieved by breaking the parts your business relies on.

Performance ambition90–100

Google’s “good” lab-score range.
Near-perfect is the target where feasible.

A reference range, not a measured client result or a guaranteed score.

What a serious performance review includes

  • A recorded baseline across agreed pages, with mobile and desktop results kept separate.
  • Review of image sizes, font loading, page weight, render-blocking code, plugins, caching and server response.
  • Repeated before-and-after tests under comparable conditions, with the tested URLs and remaining constraints documented.
  • Checks that menus, forms, consent controls and agreed booking or checkout journeys still work.

The score is one part of the story.

PageSpeed Insights combines lab diagnostics with real-user data when available. A strong lab result does not automatically mean real visitors pass every Core Web Vital.

Loading
LCP ≤ 2.5 seconds
Responsiveness
INP ≤ 200 milliseconds
Visual stability
CLS ≤ 0.1

Google’s good Core Web Vitals thresholds are assessed at the 75th percentile of real visits. Field data reflects the previous 28 days and may be unavailable for smaller sites. It does not update instantly after a redesign.

Start with the right scope

Keep what works.
Improve what holds you back.

A new theme is not always the answer. Neither is another plugin. The first decision is whether your current foundation can support the experience you want.

01 / REFINE

A focused improvement

Your brand and structure are working, but performance, mobile layouts or inquiry paths need attention.

Start with a site review and a prioritized set of fixes.

02 / REDESIGN

A sitewide elevation

The site has useful content and tools, but its design and messaging no longer reflect the quality of the business.

Align brand, copy and reusable templates around a clearer experience.

03 / BUILD

A stronger beginning

You are launching something new, or the current build has limitations that make careful rebuilding more sensible.

Plan the content, design, editing experience and launch together.

Every proposal makes the boundaries clear.

Agreed pages and templates. Content responsibilities. Retained tools. Testing and launch checks. Ownership and handoff. One-time work and recurring costs, separated. Pricing and timing follow the actual scope.

AI support. Human creative direction.

More possibility.
Still unmistakably yours.

AI can help explore directions, organize complex content, draft and refine copy, and assist development. The value comes from applying those tools to a clear brief—and knowing what to keep, change or leave out.

Moriah shapes the direction and reviews the work. Your actual services, voice and expertise stay at the center. Business facts need verification; important decisions and publication need approval.

We agree how tools are used before private information is shared. An on-site AI assistant, automated workflow or new subscription is optional and scoped separately.

Make the next investment count

A stronger site opens
more doors.

Start with the most important problem. Add the next layer when there is a clear business reason, an agreed budget and a way to judge whether it is helping.

01

Brand clarity & visual direction

When the website is exposing an unclear identity.

Positioning, message hierarchy, color, typography and image direction that can carry through the whole site.

Discuss this direction
02

Service pages & local search

When customers cannot find or understand a service.

Original service explanations, useful location content where relevant, internal links and technical search foundations.

Discuss this direction
03

Campaign landing pages

When one offer needs a focused destination.

A dedicated page with a clear offer, relevant proof, a useful inquiry form and agreed measurement. Advertising is scoped separately.

Discuss this direction
04

Bookings, commerce & connected inquiries

When manual handoffs are slowing the business.

Review existing booking, store and CRM tools; plan supported connections before considering more expensive custom functionality.

Discuss this direction
05

AI-assisted content workflows

When good ideas keep getting stuck in drafts.

Reusable briefs, draft-and-review steps and publishing guidance grounded in your expertise. Any private-data use or paid tools need prior agreement.

Discuss this direction
06

Ongoing care & refinement

When the website needs a dependable next chapter.

An agreed plan for updates, backups, checks and incremental improvements as your services and content change.

Discuss this direction

From review to handoff

A clear path.
No mystery in the middle.

Tell Moriah what needs to change
  1. Review & prioritize

    Share your site, goals and current frustrations. We assess the foundation and recommend the right level of work before you commit.

  2. Agree & design

    Confirm scope, responsibilities, costs and timing. Establish the page plan, message and visual direction before rolling them out.

  3. Build & verify

    Work in staging where supported. Review templates, mobile behavior, search essentials and the agreed forms or integrations.

  4. Launch & hand over

    Plan backups and rollback, handle URL changes carefully, and document access, editing guidance and any ongoing care.

Before you hand over the keys

Real questions.
Clear answers.

New site, existing site, a few priorities or a long list—we can start with what you know.

Can you improve my existing WordPress site without starting over?

Yes, when the current foundation supports it. We review your theme, editor, plugins, hosting, content and business goals before recommending targeted improvements, a template redesign or a rebuild. Useful content and working integrations should earn their place in the plan rather than disappear by default.

Can you build a completely new WordPress website?

Yes. We can plan the page structure, clarify your brand and message, design reusable templates and build a responsive WordPress site. Writing, photography, integrations and content entry are agreed in the scope so you know who supplies what.

Can you guarantee a 100 PageSpeed Insights score?

No. Near-perfect scores are an optimization target where the site and its required features support them. Hosting, page content, consent tools, booking widgets and other third-party scripts affect the result. We agree the pages, devices and testing conditions, document the baseline and compare repeated tests. A score never replaces checking that the website works.

Why can mobile and desktop scores be different?

The tests use different device and network assumptions. A strong desktop result can hide a heavy mobile experience. We review both separately and prioritize the templates and customer journeys that matter to your business, rather than presenting a single favorable screenshot.

Does a high score mean my site passes Core Web Vitals?

Not necessarily. The performance score comes from a simulated lab test. Core Web Vitals assess loading, responsiveness and visual stability using real-user data when available. PageSpeed Insights uses a rolling 28-day field-data window; low-traffic or new pages may not have enough data. Lab improvements and field results can therefore appear at different times.

What does AI actually do in this service?

AI can assist with research, content organization, draft copy, design exploration and development tasks. Moriah directs the work, checks business facts and reviews what is published. Client approval still matters. A visitor-facing AI assistant is a separate, optional integration, not a requirement or a substitute for clear navigation and useful content.

Will AI create hundreds of pages or replace our brand voice?

No bulk page generation is part of the default scope. We start with your actual services, expertise and customer questions, then edit for accuracy, specificity and a consistent voice. Search visibility depends on useful content and many other factors; AI use does not guarantee rankings or placement in AI answers.

Can we keep our hosting, page builder and plugins?

Often, yes. We assess compatibility, support status, editing needs and performance before proposing changes. Some WordPress.com plans restrict plugins and custom development. If a host, builder or plugin limits the agreed goals, we explain the tradeoffs and migration cost before you decide. New subscriptions and license renewals are identified in the proposal.

Will a redesign hurt our existing SEO?

Any significant change needs care. We inventory important URLs and available search data, preserve useful content and addresses where practical, plan redirects for changed URLs, and check titles, canonicals, internal links and the sitemap. Post-launch monitoring can be included. These steps reduce avoidable migration mistakes; they do not guarantee unchanged rankings.

Can you keep our booking system, CRM or online store?

We review your current tools first. An embedded form, supported plugin or available API may let us retain a familiar workflow. Compatibility, subscriptions, data handling and mobile behavior need checking. Custom workflows or commerce changes are scoped separately, with testing for forms, bookings or checkout before launch.

Who owns the website, and can we update it ourselves?

Ownership, account access and third-party licensing are stated in the agreement. We plan for your business to control its domain, hosting and administrator access. Reusable page sections and an agreed editing walkthrough make routine updates easier. Any ongoing support, paid tools or license dependencies are explained before commitment.

How much does a WordPress redesign or optimization project cost?

Pricing is project by project. The number of unique templates, condition of the current build, amount of writing and branding, integration complexity and testing requirements drive the estimate. We separate essential work from optional phases and identify hosting, licenses and ongoing care costs. Share your site and priorities for a scoped proposal rather than an invented starting price.

How long does the work take, and will the site stay live?

Timing follows the site review, content readiness and agreed scope. Where the setup supports it, changes are prepared on a private staging copy while the existing site remains live. We plan backups, approval, launch and rollback, including how to handle new orders or bookings during a migration. A delivery date is confirmed in the proposal.

What happens after launch?

You receive the agreed handoff and launch checks. Optional ongoing care can cover updates, backups, uptime checks, performance reviews and small refinements, with responsibilities and response arrangements defined in advance. Plugin updates, new tracking scripts and oversized content can affect speed later, so performance needs continued attention.
