What we do

From a blank page to a fully hosted app

Whether you're starting fresh or tired of paying too much for a platform that fights you, we'll build what you need and keep it running.

Custom web applications

Booking systems, member portals, internal tools, online stores — designed around how your business actually works, not squeezed into a template.

Managed web hosting

Already have a site? We'll host it on fast, secure infrastructure with SSL, backups, and monitoring handled for you — and a real person to call when you need help.

Expedited

WordPress migration

Move off WordPress and its endless plugin patching to a modern, secure platform. WordPress sites get priority scheduling — see why below.

Wix & Squarespace switching

Stop renting your website. We rebuild your site with your content and design intact, on a platform you own — often for less than you pay now.

E-commerce without the tax

Leaving Shopify or another storefront? We build online stores and order fulfillment that cut out the stacked monthly plans and per-order platform fees.

Local, human support

Content updates, new features, questions at odd hours — you work directly with the people who built your site. No ticket queue, no chatbot.

Your WordPress site is a target

WordPress runs a huge share of the web, which makes it the first place attackers look. Every site runs PHP code from WordPress core, your theme, and every plugin you've installed — and the vast majority of reported WordPress vulnerabilities come from those third-party plugins and themes.

Critical PHP flaws are being attacked right now

This week the PHP project shipped emergency fixes for two critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), both rated 9.2 out of 10. Details leaked a day before the patch, and security firms are already seeing attacks. The flaws let an attacker run their own code on any server running PHP, with no login needed. That includes every WordPress site.

On a WordPress site, that can give an attacker:

  • Your database password, stored in the site's wp-config.php file
  • Customer names, emails, addresses, and order history
  • Hashed passwords for every user account, which attackers can try to crack
  • A hidden backdoor or card skimmer that keeps stealing data after the hole is patched

Updated PHP versions fix the flaws, but PHP 8.1 and older get no official release, and plenty of WordPress sites still run them. If you're on WordPress, check whether you're patched today, then let us move you to a platform where PHP isn't exposed at all.

  • !One outdated plugin is enough. Automated bots scan for known PHP vulnerabilities around the clock, often within hours of a flaw going public.
  • !Patching never ends. Core, theme, and plugin updates pile up — and an update can just as easily break your site as fix it.
  • !Abandoned plugins stay vulnerable. When a plugin's developer walks away, the security holes stay open on every site still running it.

Wix, Squarespace & Shopify

  • Monthly plans that climb as you grow
  • Transaction and app fees stacked on top
  • Templates everyone else is using
  • Hard to leave — your site isn't really yours

PlateLunch

  • Straightforward hosting pricing
  • No platform cut on your sales
  • Custom design built for your brand
  • Your domain, your content, your code

Stop renting your website

Website builders are easy to start and expensive to stay on. Between the monthly plan, the add-on apps, and a percentage of every sale, many small businesses pay far more than they realize.

We rebuild your site on modern, fast technology, move your content over, and host it for you — so you keep more of what you earn and stop fighting your platform.
