How security works here

[State of WordPress Security in 2026, Patchstack](https://patchstack.com/whitepaper/state-of-wordpress-security-in-2026/)

## Clients edit content. Your design stays put.

Roles decide who sees what, down to one collection.

For agencies

![What a restaurant’s team sees: dishes and media in the sidebar, and a short form for one dish.]()

What your client sees

![The design screen: the restaurant’s colours beside a live preview of its site.]()

What you see

![The builder with the SEO panel open: a search preview and a list of checks for the page.]()

SEO checks on every page

![The dashboard just after publishing: the site is up to date and a message says the pages are live.]()

One click to publish

## Build the next client site without the stack.
