Secure Website Development

Fast, modern websites built with security headers, hardened hosting, and no plugin sprawl.

Fast, modern websites built with security headers, hardened hosting, and no plugin sprawl. Migration from WordPress available.

What's included

  • Modern, fast, static-first site builds
  • Security headers and hardened hosting from day one
  • Migration from WordPress
  • No unnecessary plugin sprawl

Our methodology

  1. 1Secure-by-default build: modern, static-first architecture with security headers (CSP, HSTS and friends) and hardened hosting configured from the first commit.
  2. 2Migration review: if you're moving off WordPress or another CMS, we audit what's actually worth carrying over — content and functionality, not old plugins and vulnerabilities.
  3. 3Code review as we build: changes are checked for common web vulnerabilities such as injection, broken auth and exposed secrets throughout development.
  4. 4Pre-launch check: a final review of headers, configuration and common weaknesses before the site goes live.

What you get

  • A production-ready, hardened website
  • Documentation for future maintenance
  • Security headers and monitoring configured

What to expect

  • A fast, modern website with no legacy plugin sprawl to patch every month.
  • Security headers and hardened hosting configured correctly from day one.
  • Documentation your team, or the next developer, can actually follow.

Limitations

Honest scope, not a sales pitch — here's what this service doesn't cover.

  • Security is designed in throughout the build, but an independent penetration test is recommended before launch for sites handling sensitive data or payments.
  • Ongoing security depends on keeping dependencies and hosting updated after handover — this can be covered under Security Monitoring & Awareness Training if you want it managed.
  • Scope such as page count, integrations and content migration volume is agreed upfront; significant scope changes are re-quoted.

FAQ

Do you use WordPress?

Only if you specifically want it, and if so we harden it properly. Our default recommendation is a modern static-first build, which removes most of the plugin-related risk WordPress sites carry.

Can you migrate our existing content?

Yes — we review what's worth carrying over during scoping, since old CMS exports often carry outdated or unused content along with the good stuff.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

We can hand over full documentation for your team, or cover ongoing monitoring and updates under Security Monitoring & Awareness Training — your choice.

// PROCESS

How this engagement works

  1. // 01

    Free consultation

    30 minutes to understand your setup and concerns.

  2. // 02

    Scoped proposal

    Fixed scope, fixed price, clear timeline. NDA signed before any access.

  3. // 03

    Build & harden

    We build with security headers, sensible defaults and no plugin sprawl.

  4. // 04

    Launch & handover

    Go live with documentation your team can actually use.

Authorisation & safety

Every engagement starts with a signed NDA before we get access to your systems or data. We follow secure coding and data-handling practices throughout, and any security testing of what we build — code review, pre-launch penetration testing — is scoped and agreed with you in advance.

Your developers are downloading pretrained AI models from public hubs the same way they install npm packages — and the same supply-chain risks apply. Heres what researchers have found, and how to vet a model before you deploy it.
