We do one thing — WordPress — and we do it for businesses and the agencies that serve them. No side projects. No platform pivots. Just WordPress, done the way it should be.
I spent four years as a generalist developer — WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, custom stacks, whatever the client wanted. By year three I’d noticed the same pattern: we’d win the pitch, deliver the site, and then six months later the client would call about a broken contact form or a page that took nine seconds to load. The problems were always WordPress problems, and we always felt half-qualified to fix them.
NineGravity is the answer to that frustration. We picked one platform and went deep — performance, security, editing ergonomics, hosting, the whole surface area. We don’t pitch for Webflow rebuilds. We don’t moonlight as Shopify consultants. If your problem isn’t WordPress, we’ll tell you to hire someone else.
The side-effect of specializing: every site we ship benefits from every site we shipped before it. A plugin we removed from one client’s stack saves the next client two seconds on first paint. A caching config we tuned for a publisher becomes the default for the next e-commerce build. Depth compounds. Breadth doesn’t.
We pick WordPress and we go deep. Depth beats breadth — every time.
If it doesn’t load fast, it doesn’t ship. 90+ PageSpeed is the floor, not the ceiling.
We build sites, not dependencies. You should never have to call a developer to change a headline.
The next developer — yours or ours — should thank us, not curse us.
