What you get

What is included in every wordpress development project

Everything below is included in the scope and signed off before we start.

Custom theme development

Themes coded to WordPress standards, with the Customizer and block editor wired up properly.

Plugin work

Custom plugins for the features you need, plus careful configuration of the ones you already use.

Speed optimisation

Caching, image handling, database cleanup, and removal of the plugins quietly slowing you down.

Security and maintenance

Hardening, backups, staged updates, and malware cleanup if something has already gone wrong.

How it runs

Four stages, and you sign off each one

1

Audit

We review your current theme, plugins, hosting, and speed scores.

2

Plan

You get a written scope: what gets built, what gets replaced, what gets removed.

3

Develop

We build on a staging site so your live site is never the test site.

4

Migrate

We push live during a quiet window, then monitor for a week afterwards.

Toolkit

What we build it with

Proven, current, well-supported tools. Nothing you will struggle to hire for later.

WordPress, PHP, ACF, WooCommerce, WP-CLI, Elementor, Gutenberg

Questions

The things clients ask first

Will you work on my existing site?

Yes. We take over existing WordPress sites regularly. We start with an audit so you know exactly what you are inheriting.

Why not just use a premium theme?

Premium themes carry code for hundreds of features you will never use, which is usually where the slowness comes from. A custom theme ships only what your site needs.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Yes, on a monthly basis: updates, backups, security checks, and a set number of small content changes.
