Most websites have a launch moment. Very few have a second act.
A new site goes live, everyone celebrates, and then it slowly becomes a digital museum. The homepage stays the same. The hero message gets stale. The CTA keeps asking the same question, even when the business has moved on.
Not because teams don’t care, but because the work after launch is harder to organise. It is hard to know what to change, what to measure, who owns it, and whether it made anything better. So we do what we can. We make updates when something feels wrong. We change copy when someone complains. We redesign when the numbers dip.
That’s not a strategy. It’s survival.
The alternative is a website that behaves more like a product. A living system. One that improves in small increments, with evidence, and with a cadence your team can actually sustain.
That is the thinking behind Accelerate. It’s not about doing more tests for the sake of it. Rather, it makes iteration a normal part of WordPress publishing, so you can move from opinion to insight without adding a new platform, workflows, or performance headaches.
My conversation with the ever-brilliant Roger Williams from Kinsta is a wide ranging look at what comes next for websites that want to grow, not just exist. If you’ve ever shipped something you were proud of and then wondered what it really did, this is for you.
Ultimately, the takeaway is that good website is a feedback loop, not a finished artifact.
When you have that loop, the work changes. You stop debating what people might want and start learning what they actually do. You stop treating your website like a brochure and start treating it like a performance engine.
It also changes the relationship between teams. Marketing doesn’t have to wait for quarterly redesigns to make an improvement. Product doesn’t have to guess which message lands. Agencies stop selling “keep the lights on” retainers and start partnering on growth. Everyone gets to point at the same evidence and say, “That worked. Let’s do more of it.”
Accelerate is built for that reality. WordPress native. Block level. Designed to be fast, simple, and practical to run in the real world.
If you’re ready to turn your WordPress site into something you can continuously improve, you can start today.
Try Accelerate. Start small. Pick one high impact block, run a real experiment, and let the data tell you what to do next.
