Core and custom engineering
Platform architecture, PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor), custom code, plugins, dependencies and application programming interfaces (APIs).
WordPress Modernization Engineering
The engineering capability behind a clear Technical Audit and controlled Modernization Delivery.
WordPress Modernization Engineering is not a standalone price package. It describes the technical breadth available when an Audit or Delivery scope requires it.
WordPress platform and content engineering
Themes and components
Custom, classic and block themes, reusable templates, components, design-system alignment and maintainable frontend foundations.
Native WordPress editing
Gutenberg, blocks, patterns, structured content models and understandable editorial workflows.
Page-builder engineering
Assessment, stabilization, reusable components, custom modules, governance, performance cleanup and justified migration planning.
Builder and editor migration
Content preservation, dependency mapping, staged conversion, regression checks, editor retraining and rollback planning.
Advanced WordPress architecture
Multisite and headless patterns when they fit the business need and operating model.
Quality, infrastructure and release systems
Quality engineering
Performance, security hardening, accessibility, reliability, testing and maintainability.
Linux / Server Administration
Hosting, web-server configuration, diagnostics, deployment foundations and maintenance.
Development and Operations
Development and Operations (DevOps), Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), environments, release workflows and observability.
Customer data, campaign tracking and business integrations
Customer data and campaign tracking
Customer Data Platform (CDP) integrations, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), Google Ads and other advertising pixels or tags.
Business integrations
Customer Relationship Management (CRM), search, identity, marketing systems, external APIs and data flows.
Measurement validation
Check that the customer actions and campaign conversions the business depends on are technically measurable.
Specialist capability pages
These pages explain distinct problem and capability areas. Commercial scope still runs through Technical Audit or Modernization Delivery.
Analytics & Conversion Tracking
Measurement planning, conversion events, tag governance, validation and handover across WordPress and connected systems.
Infrastructure Modernization
Legacy hosting, runtime, environments, backups, release engineering and controlled managed-platform migration.
Forms & Booking Reliability
End-to-end reliability across submissions, notifications, availability, booking providers, payments and measurement.
Modernization, migration and phased transformation
Modernization delivery
Stabilization, remediation, refactoring, upgrades and selective component replacement while preserving suitable content structures and workflows.
WordPress-centered migration
Controlled transitions where WordPress is the destination, the source or a retained component of a phased or hybrid architecture.
Controlled rebuild
Replacement only when the expected value exceeds content-conversion, retraining, integration, regression and operational disruption risk.
Two principles guide the capability map
Preserve the tools that still work
Modernize the platform around a suitable editor, builder, integration or workflow rather than replacing it by default.
Keep modernization and migration distinct
Modernization improves what you have. Migration safely moves or replaces what can no longer remain.
Engineering is priced through the service that uses it
Modernization Engineering remains a capability layer rather than a standalone universal package.
Typical price range
Focused Technical Audit
From $750 USD
$750–1,500 USD
3–7 working days
Use engineering capability to establish evidence, root cause and a defensible remediation boundary.
Typical price range
First controlled Delivery phase
From $3,000 USD
Confirmed after scope review
Use the required engineering capabilities inside an agreed implementation outcome and acceptance boundary.
Choose the commercial route
Engineering scope and pricing are confirmed through the relevant Audit or Delivery engagement; this capability page does not invent a universal package.
Engineering experience across the capability map
Migration experience involving WordPress
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
WordPress and Drupal migration, legacy content normalization, builder-content cleanup, integrations and campaign measurement.
Cross-platform experience
Organogenesis
A staged legacy transformation with release standardization, cloud delivery and unified customer-data and campaign-measurement foundations.
Cross-platform experience
JYSK
A global digital-experience and customer-data platform spanning integrations, analytics, experimentation and multi-market delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Is Modernization Engineering a standalone package?
No. It is the capability layer available to support a scoped Technical Audit or Modernization Delivery engagement.
Can one engagement include WordPress, server, analytics and integration work?
Yes, when those capabilities are necessary for the agreed question or outcome. Scope still needs explicit assumptions, exclusions and acceptance criteria.
Does every named page builder have a published client case?
No. Public service pages verify offered capability. The published United Nations case currently provides delivered builder-content evidence for Gutenberg, Elementor and Beaver Builder.
Free public WordPress assessment
Not sure which technical capabilities your site needs?
Start with the free WordPress Scan. It reviews publicly observable WordPress, response, delivery, maintenance and search signals, then gives you a bounded modernization assessment and a clearer next step. No admin access is required.
The Scan does not confirm private technical root causes. If the report surfaces a signal that matters and you are unsure what to do next, ask us to help interpret the evidence.
