Managed WordPress hosting
Hosting that outlives the theme it was built on.
We build and run small-business sites on real AWS infrastructure, using core WordPress blocks with no page builder and security hardening switched on from day one.

What we build
Three fixed recipes. We pick the one that fits the job instead of redesigning the stack for every client.
Quick site
A brochure that just works
A one-pager, portfolio or event site, built as a static Astro site on S3 and CloudFront. No database, no plugins, nothing to patch. It loads instantly and costs pennies to run.
Typically live in a day or two.
Standard site
A site you can edit yourself
WordPress on the Lux block theme, with the core editor and a short vetted plugin list. You write and publish; we keep the stack patched and backed up.
Our most common build.
Commerce & applications
When it has to take payments
WooCommerce or a custom application on Graviton EC2 with a managed database, CDN and object storage. Isolated per client, with a staging site to test against.
Real traffic, real money, room to grow.
Why Lux
Your content outlives your theme
We build with core WordPress blocks and nothing else. No page builder, no proprietary shortcodes. Change the design in five years and the words, images and layout are all still there, because they were never locked inside someone else’s plugin.
Hardened before you ask
XML-RPC off, dashboard file editing disabled, version numbers stripped, login errors that reveal nothing. These are defaults on every Lux site rather than a checklist someone has to remember.
Real infrastructure, not a crowded box
Sites run on AWS with their own resources, a CDN in front and backups you can actually restore from. You are not sharing a server with a thousand strangers and hoping none of them get compromised.
One team, start to finish
The people who design the site are the people who run it. No handoff to a support queue that has never seen your build, and no finger-pointing between the agency and the host.
How it works
01
Scope
A short conversation about what the site has to do. We tell you which of the three builds fits and what it will cost to run.
02
Build
We build on a staging URL you can watch and comment on. Your brand colours and type go in; the structure comes from patterns we have already tested.
03
Launch
We move DNS, issue certificates and check every page before the switch. If anything is wrong we roll back; nobody sees a broken site.
04
Run
Updates, backups, certificate renewal and monitoring are ours. You get a person who already knows your site when something needs changing.
