At Primacy, we approach WordPress a little differently.
While many agencies treat WordPress as a lightweight publishing tool, we engineer it as a high-performance, enterprise-ready platform. The result? A system your marketing team actually enjoys using without forcing IT to compromise on security, scalability, or integration standards.
We specialize in what we call Hardened WordPress: fast, secure, cloud-native implementations that fit cleanly into complex MarTech and enterprise ecosystems.
What We Build (and Why It Works)
Component-Based Architecture (Built for Editors, Not Just Developers)
Forget rigid themes and fragile page builders.
We design and build custom Gutenberg block libraries that reflect your brand and content strategy. Each block is purpose-built, performance-tested, and safe to use so editors can assemble rich pages confidently, without breaking layouts or slowing the site down.
Think of it as a LEGO system for content: flexible, consistent, and future-proof.
Headless & Decoupled WordPress
When speed, security, and scale really matter, we take WordPress headless.
In these architectures, WordPress becomes a content engine exposing data via APIs while the front end is powered by React or Next.js. This unlocks:
- Blazing-fast performance with static or hybrid rendering
- Stronger security by isolating WordPress from the public-facing layer
- True omni-channel delivery, using one CMS to power websites, mobile apps, and more
It’s WordPress without the traditional limitations.
Strategic Content Migration (Done Carefully)
Large migrations aren’t just technical projects - they’re business-critical.
Whether you’re moving from Drupal 7, Sitecore, or a proprietary CMS, we take a methodical, low-risk approach. Our team builds custom ETL scripts to preserve content structure, metadata, and SEO value while cleaning up years of accumulated clutter.
The goal isn’t just to move content it’s to come out faster, cleaner, and easier to manage on the other side.
Enterprise-Grade Reliability (No Compromises)
We don’t believe in shared hosting or “one-size-fits-all” environments.
Our WordPress platforms are typically hosted on AWS, using containerized infrastructure, Amazon RDS for database reliability, and CloudFront for global content delivery. This ensures:
- High availability across regions
- Automatic backups and patching
- Confidence during traffic spikes, launches, and campaigns
Accessibility isn’t a checkbox - it’s part of our engineering process.
We build WordPress themes with WCAG 2.1 AA compliance baked directly into the codebase. Then we protect that work with automated QA pipelines, running regression, accessibility, and functional tests on every deployment.
That means updates don’t accidentally undo what matters most.
Sometimes the right plugin doesn’t exist—and that’s okay.
Our engineers build lightweight, secure custom plugins and API integrations that connect WordPress directly to your core systems, including:
- Salesforce & HubSpot for lead and customer data
- AMS & ERP platforms for member or product data
- Enterprise search using Elasticsearch or Algolia
Everything is designed to be maintainable, documented, and integration-friendly.
