WordPress Development
WordPress build, theme and plugin work for teams who want to publish and edit their own site without going through a developer every time.
Who this is for
Businesses that publish regularly — marketing sites, blogs, content-led sites — and want editing in the hands of non-developers. If you need a storefront first and content second, Shopify or Magento usually fits better.
What you get
- Custom theme build, or a commercial theme configured and extended to your design
- Plugin selection, configuration and custom plugin development where nothing suitable exists
- WooCommerce setup when you need to sell from the same site
- Migration from an existing site or another CMS, with URLs preserved
- Editor training and a written handover so your team can publish unaided
- Ongoing updates and security patching, if you want it — see Website Maintenance
What this does not include
- Content writing, unless you add Content Writing Services
- Paid media management — that is Pay Per Click Management
- Licence fees for commercial themes or plugins, which are billed at cost
What WordPress is good at
WordPress is open-source software for building and running websites. It is the most widely deployed CMS on the web, which has two practical consequences: there is an enormous ecosystem of themes and plugins, and it is easy to find people who already know how to use it. You are not locked into one supplier.
Its real strength is editorial. Non-technical staff can add pages, publish posts and update copy through an interface they can learn in an afternoon. If your site changes often and the people changing it are not developers, that matters more than any technical benchmark.
When WordPress is the right choice
- Content changes weekly or more often, and marketing owns it rather than IT.
- You want a large pool of people who can maintain the site later.
- Requirements are conventional enough that existing plugins cover most of them.
- You need to publish quickly and iterate on design afterwards.
When it is not
- A large catalogue with complex pricing rules. WooCommerce handles ordinary stores well, but Magento is built for scale and complexity.
- You want no server to maintain. WordPress needs hosting, updates and security patching. Shopify does that for you.
- Structured course delivery. Use Moodle or Open edX rather than bending a publishing tool into a learning platform.
How we work
We start from the requirement, not the theme. That means agreeing what the site has to do, deciding what is standard and what is genuinely custom, and building only what earns its place. Plugins are chosen for maintenance burden as much as for features — every one is code someone has to keep updated.
Before handover you get a written record of what was installed, why, and what needs periodic attention. If you would rather we kept doing that, maintenance is a separate service.
Frequently asked questions
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
That is the point of building on WordPress. We hand over an editing interface for the parts of the site you should be able to change, and train your team on it. Structural changes still need a developer.
Do you build custom themes or use commercial ones?
Both. A commercial theme is faster and cheaper when your design is close to something that already exists. A custom theme makes sense when the design is specific or you need to keep the front end lean. We will tell you which applies to your project.
Can you move my existing site to WordPress?
Yes, and we treat URL preservation as part of the job rather than an afterthought — old addresses should keep working so you do not lose search traffic or inbound links.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope. Published package pricing is on the pricing page; anything beyond a standard build is quoted after we understand the requirement.
