Web Development Zagreb
without templates.
Every website I build is written from scratch - custom PHP, Bootstrap 5, vanilla JS. No WordPress, no Wix, no templates that slow you down.

Why custom code,
not WordPress?
WordPress is a great tool - but not the right tool for every project. When your business requires specific logic, complex filters, a B2B quoting system, or anything a plugin cannot cover - custom code is the only right answer.
Every line of code in Gawa Studio projects has a purpose. No bloat, no unnecessary plugins, no security vulnerabilities that WordPress sites typically carry. The result: faster website, better Core Web Vitals, and full control over everything displayed.
Custom PHP (Gawa Studio)
- ✓ 100% custom code - nothing unnecessary
- ✓ Speed: no plugin overhead

- ✓ SEO: clean HTML, ideal structure
- ✓ Scalability without platform limits

WordPress / templates
- ✗ Limited by templates and plugins
- ✗ Slowness due to plugin bloat
- ✗ Frequent security vulnerabilities
- ✗ SEO compromises from generated code
- ✗ Dependency on third parties
- ✗ Hard to customize complex logic
