WordPress Development
Award-winning WordPress website development agency. We hand code fast, accessible WordPress websites that generate leads, automate processes, and grow with you.
Specialists in bespoke WordPress websites
Our WordPress website developers hand-build every site from the ground up. We don’t use off-the-shelf themes or DIY builders – instead, we carefully craft bespoke solutions with precision and attention to detail. Every element is coded specifically for your requirements.
This approach delivers websites that are genuinely fast, accessible, and built to last.
We make fast WordPress websites. We believe that websites should feature loads of great content and functionality without compromising on performance. Google agrees with us which is why website speed has a big impact on search engine performance.
Working as an extension to your in house website team, our WordPress developers can offer advice on best practices and help you ensure your website is compliant, optimised and working hard for you.
From booking systems to CGI visualisers, we have extensive experience creating bespoke websites to meet any business need.
Off-the-shelf website builders don’t cut it any more
Many businesses are turning to off-the-shelf webpage builders as a quick and affordable way to create a website. Sadly, due to their limitations, these sites rarely meet the required standards in accessibility and performance. An agency that can code your site to meet your needs will leave you with a high-performing website that can generate leads, automate processes and sell your products and services.
Content management system
Keeping the information on your website up to date is crucial. Unfortunately, lots of marketing professionals we speak to are reliant on their website developers to make even the tiniest of content changes.
With a Content Management System (CMS), adding and changing website content is an easy and efficient process, empowering non-technical staff to keep text and imagery up to date.
WordPress is the most popular CMS, powering over 40% of the web. Here are some of the reasons we rec
Editors and contributors do not have to rely on a developer to make content changes. You can do it yourself.
Fully designed blocks can be rearranged, added or removed without the aid of a developer, empowering you to showcase your content in a multitude of ways.
We don’t lock you into a proprietary system that only we can edit. Any WordPress developer can work on the site and due to its popularity, there is a huge community of developers to choose from.
Just like any software, WordPress is vulnerable to malicious attacks, especially if set up incorrectly. We have significant experience in ensuring that all of our sites are as secure as possible, to minimise any vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
WordPress Development FAQs
Typically our WordPress projects start from around £7.5K, however the cost depends on the scope – a straightforward brochure site is a very different proposition to a bespoke platform with custom integrations, automation or ecommerce functionality. We price per project and we’ll always give you a clear, itemised quote before anything starts. No surprises.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common conversations we have. Most businesses outgrow drag-and-drop builders as the performance ceiling is low, customisation is limited, and you end up working around the platform rather than with it.
Worth knowing: WordPress.com and WordPress.org are not the same thing. WordPress.com is a hosted product with artificial limits on what you can do. WordPress.org is the open-source platform we build on — you own it, you host it where you choose, and there are no restrictions on functionality.
We can migrate your existing content across, preserve your SEO history where possible, and build something that actually does what your business needs.
WordPress powers over 40% of the web for good reason. It’s flexible enough to handle almost any requirement, has a huge ecosystem of developer support, and gives your team genuine control over content without needing to call a developer every time you want to change a paragraph. It’s also inherently good for SEO. We’ve built on a lot of platforms over the years. WordPress is still our recommendation for most businesses.
An off-the-shelf theme is a pre-built design that’s been sold to thousands of other businesses. It’s quick and cheap to set up, but it comes loaded with code you don’t need, limited options for customisation, and a dependency on whoever made the theme to keep it updated. A bespoke build is coded specifically for you. Nothing surplus, nothing generic. It performs better, it’s easier to maintain, and it won’t look like somebody else’s website.
No. We hand-code everything. Page builders add a lot of unnecessary weight to a site and can create serious performance and accessibility issues. If you want a fast, clean, accessible website, building it properly from the ground up is the only way to do it.
Yes, that’s the point of WordPress. Once your site is built, you’ll be able to add pages, update content and manage imagery without touching a line of code. We build with your team in mind, so the backend is as straightforward as the frontend.
Both. Our developers work alongside our in-house UX and UI designers, so you don’t need to come to us with a finished design. We can take a project from initial brief through to a fully designed, fully built website. Or if you have an existing design or brand guidelines, we’ll work with those.
Yes. Whether you need new functionality, a redesign, a performance overhaul or just an extra pair of hands alongside your in-house team, we can work with what you already have. We’ll give you an honest assessment of the site before we start.
It depends on the scope and how much design and content work is involved. We’ll be upfront about timelines from the start and keep you informed throughout. Rushing a website build is how corners get cut.
WordPress needs to be kept updated to stay secure. We offer hosting and maintenance packages that take care of updates, backups and monitoring so you’re not left exposed. A neglected WordPress site is a vulnerable one.
It’s a solid foundation, yes. But the platform alone won’t get you ranking. The way the site is built, how fast it loads, how accessible it is and what content sits on it all matter. We build with SEO best practices from the ground up, and we can connect you with our marketing team if you need ongoing SEO support beyond the build.
