WordPress development

WordPress development, done properly

Good-looking on the outside, well built underneath. We create custom WordPress websites that are fast, accessible and easy enough to edit that you’ll actually keep them up to date.

What we build

From five-page brochure sites to complex platforms

Whatever you need WordPress to do, there’s a sensible way to build it. Here’s where we spend most of our time.

Custom block themes

Your own design built on WordPress’s full-site editing, with brand colours, fonts and layouts set up as reusable building blocks.

Bespoke plugins and blocks

When off-the-shelf won’t do: custom blocks, booking tools, calculators, member areas and admin workflows.

WooCommerce shops

Online stores that are quick to browse and easy to run, with payments, shipping, VAT and stock handled properly.

Integrations

Connect your site to the tools you already use: CRMs, Xero, HubSpot, Google Workspace, booking and payment systems.

Migrations and rebuilds

Moving from Wix, Squarespace or an old WordPress site without losing your content or your Google rankings.

Fixes and rescues

Slow, broken or hacked? We find the cause, fix it, and make sure it doesn’t come back.

Why WordPress?

Flexible, popular and genuinely yours

WordPress powers around 43% of all websites, according to W3Techs. That popularity matters: there’s a huge pool of developers and tools, you’re never locked into one supplier, and it scales from a five-page site to tens of thousands of pages.

Modern WordPress is also very different from the version many people remember. The block editor and full-site editing mean your team can change text, images and whole page layouts without touching code.

How we build WordPress sites

  • Block themes with design tokens, not heavy page builders
  • A short, audited plugin list, with every plugin justified
  • A private preview site and version control for every project
  • Automated accessibility and speed checks before launch
  • Security hardening, plus Cloudflare protection in front
  • Training and simple guides, so your team feels confident

Questions we’re often asked

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?

For new builds we use WordPress’s own block editor and full-site editing. It’s faster, more secure and won’t tie you to a paid builder. If your current site uses a page builder, we can look after it or move you off it.

Will I be able to edit the website myself?

Yes. We set up editable patterns for your text, images and pages, lock the parts that keep the design consistent, and include a training session with every build.

Can you add features to my existing WordPress site?

Yes. We regularly build custom blocks, plugins and integrations for sites we didn’t create. We start with a quick technical review so we know what we’re working with.

Do you build WooCommerce shops?

Yes, from small catalogues to stores with thousands of products, including payments, shipping, VAT and links to your stock and accounting systems.

Is WordPress secure?

WordPress itself is very secure when it’s kept up to date and hosted properly. Most problems come from outdated plugins and cheap hosting, which is exactly what our managed hosting deals with.
