When crafting a custom WordPress website for our clients, Cheddar Advertising spares no effort in employing top-notch tools and strategies. Our collaboration with WP Engine, our trusted agency server service (we absolutely love their services), allows us to build the development site on a unique subdomain, like https://cheddarstage.wpengine.com. It’s not just a technical detail; it’s a testament to our dedication to perfection.


This stage is more than code and pixels; it’s where creativity meets functionality, allowing us to test design, layout, and more on a live server. Then, we can replicate it all on the production site with a mere click. It’s seamless, effective, and proven.
