WordPress development
Most sites are built on WordPress because it suits how most businesses actually work: your team can update it, plenty of people can maintain it, and you are not tied to one agency or one hosting company.
The work
What WordPress development involves
Built rather than assembled
A site stacked with thirty plugins is slow, fragile and a security liability. The build covers what the site needs, uses well maintained plugins where they genuinely save time, and you will be told when a request is not worth the weight it would add.
An admin your team can use
Fields labelled in your language, editors seeing what they are meant to change and not what they are not, and layouts that cannot be broken by a well meaning edit. That is the difference between a CMS that gets used and one that gets ignored.
Speed and security as part of the build
Images handled properly, caching configured, scripts deferred, updates applied on a staging copy first, backups taken offsite and tested. Most WordPress horror stories are maintenance failures rather than WordPress failures.
Handover with nothing withheld
You get the site, the source, full administrator access and training. If you move to another agency, everything they need is there.

CMS web design
Websites built on a content management system your team can use, with an admin designed for editors and training so everyday updates do not need a developer.
Website redesign
Existing websites redesigned without losing hard-won rankings, with content, URLs and redirects planned before launch so the new site performs from day one.
Page speed optimisation
Slow pages diagnosed and fixed at the cause, with Core Web Vitals measured before and after, so visitors stay and search rankings are not held back.
Online shop systems
Online shops planned and built around how you operate, with stock, product updates, orders and accounts connected so the shop runs smoothly every day.
Landing page design
Landing pages built around one offer and one action, matched to the advert or email that sends visitors there and designed to be tested and improved.
Technical SEO
Crawling, indexing, site structure, speed and structured data fixed, so search engines can find, understand and trust every important page on your site.
