Case study · Our own work
One platform runs 15 live sites.
The client websites we build and look after, from online stores to hospitality businesses, run on one platform of shared plugins and one hosting setup.

Fifteen sites, fifteen times the work.
Looked after one by one, every fix, update and security patch has to be made fifteen times, and each site slowly drifts into its own version of the same problem.
02The fix
Build it once, ship it everywhere.
The features sites share live in one codebase, and every site runs on the same hosting setup.
- Shared features checkout, orders, forms, search and more, built and tested in one place.
- Updates delivered to test sites first, then to every live site that uses them.
- One hosting setup with a check that each server still matches what was deployed.
- 15
- live client sites on the same platform
- 25
- shared features, built and checked in one place
- 27
- updates in October, each tested before it reached a site
03Now
A fix written once reaches every site.
A change passes the same checks, lands on the test sites, then ships to each live site that uses it. In October that was 27 updates across the shared features. It’s the platform behind our website and systems integration work.
From our own repositories and hosting setup: live sites and shared plugins as at November 2026, releases in October 2026.
