Is in-house development more expensive than outsourcing?

Not necessarily. While outsourcing can appear cheaper upfront, it often introduces hidden costs through delays, rework, and communication issues. Our in-house approach focuses on doing things right the first time, delivering long-term value through reliable, well-built websites.

What is your design and development process?

Wibble are a Belfast web design studio with clients all around the globe. Since starting in 2013, we have built up a huge range of web design clients and as a result have honed our whole setup into a number of key processes. Our web design process page covers it in more detail.

What happens if WordPress core or a plugin contains a security vulnerability?

We respond immediately when vulnerabilities are discovered. Through our iControlWP and Shield Security integration, we receive real-time notifications the moment a security vulnerability is identified in WordPress core, plugins, or themes on your site. Shield Security provides detailed risk assessments for each vulnerability, allowing us to prioritise critical threats. Once notified, we apply the necessary updates at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure your site remains protected. Important consideration: Our response time depends on patch availability. While we may receive notice of a vulnerability immediately, we must wait for the WordPress core team or plugin developers to release an official security patch. Once that patch is available, we deploy it promptly to your site.
