Your WordPress site is slow, it's awkward to edit, or the last developer left it half-done. We take over sites like that and fix them. What we find most often is slow loading, a pile of bloated plugins and an outdated design built in a page builder. We also build new WordPress sites from S$1,000.
- Takeovers of slow or half-finished sites
- Optional maintenance from S$150 a month
- Managed hosting, or keep your own account

What We Find When We Take Over a WordPress Site
Pages that load slowly
Slow loading is the problem we find most often. Before anyone quotes you for a new site, ask them what is making the current one slow. Oversized images and excess plugins can be dealt with on the site you already have.
Too many bloated plugins
We often open a site and find a long list of heavy plugins, each adding code to every page and each with its own updates. WordPress’s own security guidance says to delete the plugins you no longer use.
An outdated page-builder design
Many of the sites we take over were put together in a page builder and now look old. That’s a redesign, and it can stay on WordPress.
Every edit needs a developer
Changing a heading shouldn’t mean touching code. Your staff should be able to do that from the dashboard.
Left half-finished
The previous developer stopped replying. You have a site that’s nearly done and logins you aren’t sure you hold.
Updates nobody dares to run
The last update someone clicked broke the layout. But old versions stop getting security fixes, so leaving them is the riskier choice.

New WordPress Websites
From S$1,000
From S$1,000 for a business website of 5-7 pages, with custom design, copywriting and unlimited revisions before launch. A simple site usually takes 2-4 weeks. We mostly build on custom themes, which keeps you clear of the slow page-builder designs we often find on takeovers.
Taking Over Your Site
Including half-finished builds
We look after WordPress sites other developers built, slow and unfinished ones included. We start with an inventory: the WordPress version, theme, plugins, hosting and who has access. Then we tell you what we’d fix first.
WordPress Redesign
Quoted after we’ve seen your site
Outdated design is one of the things we find most often. We keep the content that still works and redo the design and structure around it.

Moving Your Site to WordPress
From Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or custom code
We move sites onto WordPress from other platforms, such as Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or a custom-coded site. Pages, posts and images come across, and old addresses are redirected so existing links still work.
Custom Features
When a ready-made option falls short
Our developers build what a theme or plugin can’t give you, such as a layout for a new kind of content or a feature no maintained plugin covers.
WordPress Maintenance
Optional, from S$150 a month
A maintenance plan is optional. Plans start from S$150 a month for a business site, or from S$250 a month for an eCommerce site, with a response within 48 hours. Content updates, speed fixes and basic SEO upkeep are covered; redesigns and new features are quoted separately.
Website maintenanceWordPress or Custom Code?
Stay on WordPress when
Your team publishes often
Articles, news, job openings and event pages go up from the dashboard. Nobody has to call a developer.
Several people need different access
WordPress has user roles built in. An Editor can publish pages and posts but can’t install plugins or change the theme.
A maintained plugin already does the job
That costs less than writing the feature from scratch. But every plugin is one more thing to update, and the sites we take over often have too many.
You want to be free to change developer or host
WordPress runs 39.2% of all websites (W3Techs, November 2026). Plenty of developers and hosts already know it.
Move to custom code when
The site works more like a tool
Customer logins, dashboards, quotes worked out from your price list, or data pulled from another system. Build those as a web application.
The content rarely changes
For a handful of pages that change a few times a year, the dashboard and its plugin updates are overhead you’ll never use.
You want fewer parts to keep updated
On WordPress you’re running the core software plus a theme plus plugins, each from a different author. A custom-coded site, which we build in React and Next.js, still needs upkeep. It just has no plugin list to watch.
Tell us who will edit the site and what it has to do two years from now, and we'll recommend one. We also tell clients when we think custom software is unnecessary.
How a WordPress Project Runs
Talk
Already have a WordPress site? Send us the link and tell us what’s wrong with it, and we’ll start with an inventory of it. Starting fresh, a short brief is enough.
Written plan
You get the price, scope and timeline in writing before any work starts.
Design and build
We design the pages, write the copy and build the site. On the business website package, revisions are unlimited before launch. On a takeover, this is where the fixes happen.
Launch and support
The site goes live with at least 14 days of free support on the business website package. After that, a maintenance plan is optional, from S$150 a month.
Frequently asked questions
From S$1,000 with us, for a business website of 5-7 pages with custom design, copywriting, unlimited revisions before launch and at least 14 days of free support afterwards. WordPress itself is free, open-source software. But you pay separately for hosting, the domain and any paid plugins or themes. More pages or custom features add to the price. Our quoted prices are nett, with no GST added on top.
A simple WordPress site usually takes 2-4 weeks. Larger sites and custom features take longer. So does waiting on content, which is the delay you control.
Yes, including sites another developer built or left unfinished. We start with an inventory of the WordPress version, theme, plugins, hosting and access. The problems we find most often are slow loading, too many bloated plugins and an outdated page-builder design. We’ll tell you which of those your site has and what we’d fix first.
Yes. Your team can change text and images, add pages and publish posts from the dashboard without a developer. Each person gets their own login, and roles control what they can do: an Editor can publish content but can’t install plugins or change the theme. But changing the design or how a feature works is still a developer’s job.
Yes, from S$3,000, and they usually take 2-8 weeks. Store builds are covered on our eCommerce website development page, next to Shopify and Ecwid.
You choose. We offer managed hosting, quoted case by case and billed separately, or you can keep your own hosting account. If you keep your own, we use your credentials to set the site up, then ask you to reset them and turn on two-factor authentication once we’re done. Your domain is registered in your name, and you hold it. For code we write for your site, retroXpect keeps the copyright unless a transfer is agreed in writing, and a transfer takes effect on full payment.
Keep it updated and keep the plugin list short. WordPress installs minor and security releases by itself on most sites, but major versions and plugins need someone to check and apply them. Old versions stop receiving security fixes. WordPress’s own guidance also asks for strong passwords, two-step login, regular backups and deleting plugins you no longer use. On a maintenance plan we apply updates on a schedule and backups run automatically. Without one, the updates are yours to keep up with.
Yes, and it is optional. Plans start from S$150 a month for a business website and S$250 a month for an eCommerce site. Your plan covers core and plugin updates, backups, content updates, speed fixes, and keeping basic on-page and technical SEO in order. We respond within 48 hours. Redesigns, rebuilds and new features aren’t part of a plan; we quote those separately. We also maintain WordPress sites we didn’t build.
