WordPress development
WordPress, built by engineers.
Custom themes, plugins and WooCommerce stores, written properly rather than assembled in a page builder. We also take on the sites that have stopped behaving.
What we build.
Custom themes
A theme built from your design rather than a bought template bent into shape. Clean markup, your own blocks, and an editor your team can actually use.
WooCommerce stores
Products, variations, subscriptions, custom checkout, payment and delivery rules, and the operational bits a real shop needs behind the till.
Plugin development
Functionality that does not exist yet, written as a proper plugin so it survives a theme change. We maintain two of our own on WordPress.org.
Integrations
CRMs, booking systems, payment providers, ERPs and internal tools, connected over their APIs instead of a chain of third-party connectors.
Migrations
Moving hosts, moving platforms, or moving off a page builder, with URLs preserved so the rankings you have built up come across too.
Headless WordPress
Keep the admin your team knows and put a Next.js front end on it, when the site needs to be faster than a traditional theme can be.
Or we fix the one you have.
Most people come to us with a site already, and a complaint about it. These are the usual ones.
A site built in a page builder
Thousands of lines of markup for a page that should be a few hundred. We rebuild the front end and keep the content where it is.
Pages that take seconds to load
Usually too many plugins, uncompressed images and no caching. We measure first, fix what the measurements name, and show you the before and after.
Plugins nobody can account for
Abandoned, unlicensed or nulled plugins are how most WordPress sites get compromised. We audit what is installed and replace what cannot be trusted.
How one hid a backdoor for 15 monthsUpdates that break the site
Usually a theme or plugin that was edited directly. We move those changes somewhere safe so updating stops being a gamble.
No backups and no monitoring
Nobody notices a site is down at three in the morning unless something is watching it. We put backups, uptime checks and error alerts in place.
A developer you cannot reach
Inherited sites with no documentation and no access. We work out what is there, get the keys back in your name, and write down how it works.
How it runs.
- 1
Audit
We look at the install: theme, plugins, hosting, speed, security and what is actually being used. You get the findings either way.
- 2
Plan and quote
What to keep, what to rebuild, what it costs and how long. In writing, before anything is touched.
- 3
Build on staging
Work happens on a copy, never on your live site, with a link you can open and share at any point.
- 4
Launch and hand over
Deployed with backups, SSL and monitoring, then the keys, and a walkthrough of how to run it.
Some of the work.
Afterwards
A WordPress site is never finished.
Managed hosting, updates, daily backups, malware scanning and monitoring, with development time included each month.
Monthly webmaster plansQuestions.
Do you build custom themes or use a template?
We build custom themes from your design. A bought template can be the right call on a small budget, and we will say so, but a theme written for the site is faster, easier to change and does not carry features you will never use.
Do you work with Elementor and other page builders?
Yes, we maintain and extend sites built in Elementor and similar builders. For a new build we usually recommend a custom theme instead, because builders add markup and scripts that slow pages down and make a site harder to change later.
Can you fix a slow WordPress site?
Yes, and it is one of the most common things we are asked for. We measure against Core Web Vitals first, so the work is driven by what is actually slow rather than a list of generic tips, and show you the numbers before and after.
My site was hacked. Can you help?
Yes. We clean the infection, find how it got in, replace whatever was compromised, and put monitoring and backups in place so the same route is closed. Most WordPress compromises start with an abandoned or unlicensed plugin.
Can you move my site to a different host or platform?
Yes. Host moves, page builder removals and migrations to or from WordPress, with URLs preserved so search rankings carry across. We keep the old site running until the new one is confirmed working.
Do you build WooCommerce stores?
Yes, including subscriptions, custom checkout flows, payment and delivery rules, wholesale pricing and integrations with the systems a shop already runs on.
Do you offer ongoing WordPress maintenance?
Yes, through our monthly webmaster plans: managed hosting, updates, daily backups, malware scanning, uptime monitoring and a block of development time each month.
Should I use WordPress or Next.js?
WordPress when the point is content your team edits, or a shop on WooCommerce. Next.js when the product has to do something a CMS cannot. If you want both, headless WordPress keeps the admin and puts a faster front end on it. We recommend one after seeing what the site has to do.
Who owns the site when you are finished?
You do. The hosting, domain, repository and accounts are in your name, with credentials and documentation handed over at the end.
