We design and optimise MySQL databases for your WordPress sites and WooCommerce shops: a schema thought through from the outset, slow queries identified then fixed, for a site that stays fast even when the catalogue or the traffic grows.
MySQLMySQL is a database management system: software that stores your pages, products, orders and customer accounts as tables linked together, then answers the site's requests within a few milliseconds. It is the default database for WordPress and WooCommerce, used by almost every site we develop on that platform. Its table structure suits a product catalogue or a list of orders well. For your site, that means pages that load fast even when the volume of content increases sharply.
MySQL is used to store and quickly retrieve the data of a WordPress site or a WooCommerce shop: posts, pages, product sheets, orders and customer accounts. It stays relevant as long as that data remains structured fairly simply, in tables with direct relationships. For a platform with complex business rules, PostgreSQL offers stronger guarantees. MySQL remains our default choice for any WordPress project, where its read speed makes the difference day to day.
MySQL databases we design and optimise for sites with widely varying traffic and catalogues.
We optimise the MySQL database of a WooCommerce shop with a large catalogue: indexes added on the most filtered columns, product search queries rewritten, so that browsing stays fluid even with several thousand references online.
We design the MySQL schema of an association portal managing a member base, subscriptions and an area reserved for members, with tables linked cleanly to avoid duplicate records over successive sign-ups.
We put in place the MySQL database of a booking system for a restaurant: slots, tables and order statuses synchronised live, so that the same table is never assigned twice at the same time by mistake.
We structure the MySQL database of a hotel group with several establishments: each hotel manages its own rooms and rates within a shared schema, which avoids duplicating the site for every new address the group opens.
We optimise the MySQL database of a paramedical practice's website handling online appointment booking: availability queries speeded up to display free slots with no perceptible delay, even at peak times.
We take over the MySQL database of an ageing site handed on by a previous provider: cleaning up tables that have become useless, correcting badly built relationships, before any evolution of the site so as not to build on fragile foundations.
MySQL pairs above all with WordPress, whose default database it is, then with WooCommerce as soon as a shop is added to the site. On the language side, PHP remains the building block that queries MySQL on each of these projects. We add Elementor when the layout has to stay editable without touching the data schema or the logic installed behind each page.
The technologies we work with
Click a technology to open its dedicated page.
We design and optimise MySQL databases for WordPress sites and WooCommerce shops: table schema, indexes suited to the real traffic, slow queries fixed, then follow-up after production release to keep a site fast over time.
We first target the most consulted queries in the server logs rather than reindexing the whole database blindly, which avoids weighing down writes on tables rarely called on by the site's visitors.
Every MySQL engagement is priced on quotation, according to the state of the database and the volume of data to handle. Allow 21 to 30 days for a targeted audit, and up to 21 to 60 days for a complete redesign of the schema on a large catalogue. The exact pricing is confirmed after that first audit, never before.
Six steps, from the first conversation to launch — and the support that follows. The process is the same for an e-commerce site or a mobile app; only the deliverables change.
We start from your objectives, not from a list of features. Scope, key user journeys, technical constraints and budget: everything is set down in writing before the first line of code. You know what you will get, when, and at what price.
You see your site or your app before it exists. We design every screen, test the user journeys and refine until navigation feels obvious. An interface approved at the design stage means development work that never goes to waste.
WordPress or WooCommerce for a site you manage yourself, Next.js for a platform, Flutter or Swift for a mobile app: the technology follows your need, never the other way round. We ship regular test builds so you can follow progress in real conditions.
Every build is tested on the browsers and devices your customers actually use: screen sizes, OS versions, unstable connections. We fix issues before your users run into them, not after they report them.
We handle the launch end to end: hosting, domain name, redirects in the case of a redesign, analytics tools — and store publication when the project is an app. Nothing is left on your plate on launch day.
A website, like an app, keeps evolving: security updates, version upgrades, new features as your feedback comes in. An optional annual plan covers monitoring and support work, and the code belongs to you in every case.

The questions company directors ask us most often before a MySQL project or optimisation.
Two MySQL databases that look similar on the surface rarely call for the same underlying work. The budget depends on the starting state of your database and the extent of the work needed: an audit with a few indexes added costs markedly less than a complete redesign of the schema on a site with a large catalogue. We always start by examining your existing database before pricing anything at all. Every MySQL engagement is then priced on quotation, with a precise breakdown of the queries targeted, sent within 24 hours of that first diagnosis.
A targeted audit with correction of the slowest queries wraps up in 21 to 30 days on a site of ordinary size. A complete redesign of the schema, on an older database with badly built relationships, calls for closer to 21 to 60 days, and up to 60 days if several sites share the same database to be developed. The precise schedule is set once the audit is complete, with load testing before each switch to production. These tests confirm the database holds up under the real load before any final production release.
MySQL is the obvious choice as soon as your project rests on WordPress or WooCommerce, where it is the database the platform expects. PostgreSQL becomes preferable for a custom business platform, with strict integrity rules between several types of data linked to one another. We never change database as a matter of principle: the choice follows the nature of the project, not a technical preference of our team. A site that starts on WordPress and grows towards a custom platform can in fact migrate from one database to the other when the time comes.
Yes, we regularly work on databases left by a previous provider. The audit covers the table structure, the missing indexes and the slowest queries identified in the server logs, often the main cause of a site that has become slow over time. This step separates quick fixes from heavier work to be scheduled. You receive this report before any decision, so you can choose the depth of the engagement in full knowledge of the facts. This initial audit remains free before any commitment on your side.
Yes, in the form of an optional annual package, whose content depends on the volume and the criticality of your database: monitoring of slow queries, regular backups and occasional index adjustments as the catalogue or the traffic evolves. A database feeding an active shop deserves regular follow-up, because a slowdown there directly affects that day's sales. This package remains optional: the database belongs to you from delivery onwards, whatever you choose afterwards. You remain free to give it up each year with no justification.
Yes, without reservation. You receive full access to your MySQL database, with documentation of the schema chosen and the backup scripts put in place. For a site that depends entirely on that database day to day, this independence matters particularly, since it lets you entrust the rest of the project to another technical team if you wish, without depending on a single provider holding the keys. No access is retained on our side after delivery, including the server's technical credentials.
Yes, indirectly but genuinely: a badly indexed database slows down every page that queries it, and loading speed is among the criteria Google takes into account in its ranking. On a WooCommerce shop with a large catalogue, a badly optimised product search query can on its own penalise the whole site. We check this point systematically during our audits, even before looking at the content published on the pages concerned. A slow database often costs more in visibility than a poor choice of keywords.
