We Don’t Just Say It’s Fast. We Prove It.

Page builders stack 40+ plugins and pray. We write clean code that actually performs. Here’s the difference.

// The Right Tool

The Right CMS. Not Just WordPress.

Most shops sell you whatever they know. We pick the platform that fits how your business actually runs.

01

WordPress

When you need the ecosystem.

Done properly. Custom themes on Timber and ACF, editable blocks your team can actually use, and no page builders anywhere.

  • Timber
  • ACF Blocks
  • WooCommerce
02

Statamic

When you want clean and simple.

A flat-file CMS with no database to babysit. Fast to edit, easy to version, and it can compile straight to static.

  • Flat-File
  • Git-Based
  • Static Output
03

EmDash

When security and speed come first.

A modern, edge-deployed CMS with sandboxed plugins, so one bad plugin can’t take the whole site down.

  • Edge-Deployed
  • Sandboxed Plugins

Already on WordPress? We can strip out the bloat, rebuild it lean, or compile it to static HTML so there’s nothing left to hack.

// Investment

Transparent Pricing.

No hidden fees. No BS. You’re not buying code. You’re buying the thing that makes the code worth building.

// The Math

The Math Nobody Else Shows You.

A $3,500 page-builder site sounds more affordable. Until you add up the plugin tax.

Typical Page-Builder Site

Initial build Theme + page builder
$3,500
Plugin licenses $70 to $100/mo × 36 months
$2,520+
The inevitable rebuild When the plugins stop playing nice
$???
3-year cost $6,000+

Built by Midcoast Works

Custom build Hand-coded, SEO fundamentals included
$3,333
Plugin licenses The code does the work
$0
Rebuild Built clean the first time
$0
3-year cost $3,333

Our builds run lean because the code does the work, not a stack of plugins praying they don’t conflict with each other.

Hosting left out on both sides, because both need it. Plugin costs based on typical Elementor Pro, forms, caching, security and backup licenses.

// Our Process

From First Call to Launch.

No mystery phases. Here’s exactly what happens after you reach out.

  2. 02

    We build your homepage as a live, clickable prototype. Real hover effects, real animations. Not a static mockup.

    On us. Hate it? Keep the page.

    Build

    Clean, tested, performance-first code on the CMS that fits. No bloat, no plugin soup, no prayers.

  4. 04

    Analytics setup, post-launch support, and a care plan if you want us sticking around. We don’t ghost you after launch.
