Top Union WordPress Website Design & Hosting
From hard-to-update sites to fast, simple, reliable
• We build WordPress for unions with clear menus, easy editing, and structured content (news, events, forms, agreements).
• Editors use clean blocks and fields—not messy page builders—so pages stay consistent.
Results you can measure
• Requirements at launch: Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.2 AA, structured data, and before/after Lighthouse reports.
• Goals (form submits, RSVPs, calls) are tracked so you can see what’s working.

Plan the structure first
Content types that match daily work
• News/Alerts, Events/Training, Leadership & Staff, Locals/Units, Agreements & Forms, Apprenticeships, Endorsements, Jobs, FAQs.
• Fields for dates, locations, files, related unit, and calls to action. Add content once; reuse across pages.
Clear paths and helpful search
• Top tasks (find a form, check hiring hall hours, contact a rep, join, pay dues) stay within two clicks.
• Menus mirror your structure and work on mobile.
• Search understands union terms (dispatch / hiring hall / out-of-work list).




Build on Elementor: simple editing, pro templates
Elementor templates, Theme Builder, and ACF
• Elementor Pro with Theme Builder for header, footer, single, and archive templates; one change updates site-wide.
• Global Styles and design tokens keep fonts, colors, and spacing consistent.
• ACF + Custom Post Types supply fields (dates, locations, files). Editors fill fields; Elementor Dynamic Tags place the data.
• Reusable parts: alert bars, callout blocks, card grids, resource lists. Optional popups for urgent notices (e.g., safety alerts).
• Version control and staging checks prevent breaking changes.
Performance and accessibility with Elementor
• Use Container (Flexbox) layout and Optimized DOM Output to reduce page size.
• Load only needed widgets; defer unused assets; serve WebP/AVIF with responsive sizes and lazy loading.
• Accessibility: logical headings, labeled form fields, visible focus states, keyboard-friendly menus, and alt text required.

































Managed hosting, updates, and security
Hosting tuned for WordPress
• CDN + page/object caching; current PHP; staging → production workflow.
• Backups: hourly DB + daily files, encrypted off-site; quarterly restore drills.
• SSL/HSTS by default. We manage domain and DNS changes to avoid downtime.
• Uptime target 99.9%+ with monitoring of search, login, and form submit.
Hardening and maintenance
Least-privilege roles, admin 2FA, rate limiting, XML-RPC lock, WAF, and reCAPTCHA/hCaptcha.
• Monthly core/plugin updates with fast patches for critical CVEs; quarterly plugin cleanup.
• Privacy: TLS 1.2+, IP anonymization in analytics, restricted log access, documented retention.
