Build

The flexibility of WordPress, without the bloat.

Custom themes, WooCommerce stores, plugin work, migrations, speed optimisation and ongoing maintenance — for teams who want to own and edit their own content.

The problem

WordPress runs a huge share of the web for a good reason: your team can actually use it. The trouble is how most WordPress sites end up — a bought theme, twenty-eight plugins, four of them abandoned, a five-second load time and a security patch nobody's applied since 2023.

The platform isn't the problem. How it was assembled is.

What’s included

  • Custom theme development, built for your content rather than bent around a template
  • WooCommerce store setup and customisation
  • Plugin integration, custom fields and custom post types
  • Migrations from other platforms, or between hosts
  • Speed optimisation — caching, image handling, database cleanup
  • Security hardening, backups and ongoing maintenance

What you get

A custom theme in your repository, a documented plugin stack with a reason for each one, a staging environment, and a maintenance schedule if you want it ongoing.

How it works

  1. (01)

    Audit

    For existing sites, we catalogue the theme, plugins, load time and vulnerabilities.

  2. (02)

    Plan

    Decide what's rebuilt, what's kept, and what gets deleted. Usually a lot gets deleted.

  3. (03)

    Build

    Developed on staging, never on your live site.

  4. (04)

    Harden

    Caching, backups, security and updates configured before launch.

Good fit

Your team publishes content regularly and needs full control without asking a developer.

Not a fit

You want a fast marketing site and nobody on your team will ever edit it — you'll get a better result from Website Development.

FAQ

Can you fix our existing site instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. The audit tells us honestly whether repair or rebuild is cheaper — sometimes a rebuild costs less than repeatedly patching.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Yes — updates, backups, uptime monitoring and security patching on a monthly plan.

Can you make WordPress fast?

Yes, but it means removing things. Most speed problems are plugin bloat, unoptimised images and cheap hosting.
