Custom design and theme
A design made for your brand, built as a lean custom theme or on a clean block-based foundation, not a heavy multipurpose theme with features you never use.
WordPress web design
WordPress web design that does not look or feel like a template
WordPress runs a large share of the web, and for many businesses it is the right choice: a site your own team can edit, with plugins for almost anything. The difference is in how it is built. We design custom WordPress sites that stay fast, secure and simple to manage.
Who it is for
Is this the right fit?
- A business that wants to edit its own pages, news and content without a developer
- An organisation with an existing WordPress site that is slow, hacked, outdated or hard to change
- A company that needs a blog, resources or a content-heavy site that search engines can read well
- Anyone choosing between WordPress, Shopify and a custom build who wants an honest answer
What you get
What we build for you
An editor your team will like
Page layouts built from reusable blocks, so staff can add pages and posts without breaking the design.
Speed
Image handling, caching and a short list of carefully chosen plugins, so pages load quickly and pass Google's Core Web Vitals.
Security and updates
Hardened setup, backups, and a plan for keeping WordPress and plugins up to date, so the site is not the easy target it is often accused of being.
SEO foundations
Clean headings, structured data, sitemaps and sensible URLs set up from the start, and redirects if you are replacing an old site.
WooCommerce when you need a shop
If you want to sell, we can set up WooCommerce with payments, shipping and tax. If a different platform suits you better, we will say so.
How it works
From first call to launch
- ListenA free call to understand your content, your team and how often the site changes.
- Plan and quoteSitemap, page types and features agreed in writing, with one fixed quote.
- DesignDesigns for the key pages, approved by you in the client portal.
- BuildTheme and content structure built, content loaded, plugins limited and tested.
- LaunchStaging review, redirects, launch checks, training and a maintenance option afterwards.
You work with the person who builds it, approve every design in your private client portal, and pay in milestones. One written, fixed quote for an agreed scope, valid for 7 days, and you own the design and custom code once the project is paid.
UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Europe
Built for the markets you sell in
For visitors in the UK and Europe the site needs proper consent for cookies and tracking, and accessibility matters under the Equality Act and the European Accessibility Act. US, Canadian and Australian audiences bring their own accessibility and privacy expectations. We build these in and point to the right policy pages, and we write in the spelling your market expects.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is WordPress a good choice for my business?
Often yes, if you want to edit content yourself and rely on search traffic. It is less ideal for complex web applications, where a custom build is safer. We will tell you which side of that line your project falls on.
Will my WordPress site be fast and secure?
It can be. Slow, hacked WordPress sites usually come from heavy themes and many plugins. We keep the build lean, use caching and image optimisation, and set up backups and updates.
Can you redesign my existing WordPress site without losing my rankings?
Yes. We map every existing address, keep the pages that perform, and add redirects for anything that moves. Our guide on redesigning without losing rankings explains the process in detail.
Who owns the website and the content?
You do. Once the project is paid, you own the design and the custom code we wrote, and the hosting account is in your name.
Do you also build WooCommerce stores?
Yes, when WooCommerce fits. For many shops we recommend Shopify instead, because it carries less maintenance. We explain the trade-offs before you decide.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes, that is the point of the build. We train you and your team, and the editor is set up so common changes are safe to make.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
We can look after updates, backups and small changes if you want that, quoted separately from the build. You can also run it yourself.
