Custom WordPress development for sites that can't afford to go down

We build WordPress sites from your design, not from a purchased theme, so the code is clean, the pages are fast and the next developer can read it. Your editors get fields that match how they publish, instead of a page builder they have to work around.

Is this you?

  • Your site has outgrown its theme or page builder. Pages are slow, layouts break and every change needs a workaround.
  • Your editors avoid the CMS. Publishing takes too long, so updates wait for a developer.
  • You're stuck on an old platform. A Drupal 7 or old Joomla install needs upgrading or moving, and nobody wants to quote it.

What's included

Custom WordPress themes

Built from your Figma, Sketch or XD files, matching the design at every screen size. Lightweight, accessible markup that loads fast and is simple to extend.

Custom plugins and Gutenberg blocks

Features built to a specification: custom post types, ACF field groups, editorial workflows and blocks your team can arrange without breaking the layout.

WooCommerce and multisite

Stores with custom checkout flows, payment and shipping integration, and multisite networks for organisations with several brands or regions.

Drupal and Joomla

Major-version upgrades, security patching, custom modules, and migrations onto or away from the platform, including the legacy estates other developers decline.

Redesigns and migrations

Moving to WordPress from another CMS, or rebuilding an existing WordPress site, with redirects and SEO carried across so you don't lose rankings.

Every WordPress site ships with

  • Responsive layouts tested on real phones, tablets and desktops
  • Core Web Vitals passing on mobile before launch
  • SEO-ready structure: clean headings, schema markup, XML sitemap, redirects
  • WCAG 2.2 AA basics: contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, form labels
  • Security hardening, current plugins and tested backups
  • A short editor guide for your team

FAQ

WordPress FAQ

Page builders are quick to start and slow to live with. A custom theme loads faster and gives editors exactly the fields they need. For small sites on a tight timeline, a builder can be fine, and we'll say so.
