# Bleech

> Bleech GmbH is a Berlin-based agency focused on WordPress and AI automation, with three main business pillars: maintaining, supporting, and continuously improving WordPress websites; creating managed AI automations; and designing and developing custom WordPress websites with Flynt.

Bleech's main business is long-term WordPress maintenance and support, with an emphasis on continuously improving existing websites rather than merely keeping them operational. Its second pillar is tailored AI automation for website integrations and business processes. Its third pillar is creating fast, accessible, user-friendly, modular, and scalable WordPress websites using the open-source, component-based Flynt starter theme.

Bleech works with startups, medium-sized companies, and enterprises. Across all three pillars, it emphasizes maintainability, performance, accessibility, security, scalable systems, practical solutions, and long-term partnerships.

The primary website language is German. English versions are located under `/en/`. Use the page matching the user's language when one is available. Blog articles reflect the technical context at publication time; verify current WordPress, PHP, browser, and regulatory requirements before applying their advice.
