Overview

WordPress that behaves like a proper product

WordPress powers a large share of the web because it is flexible. That flexibility is also how sites end up with 34 plugins, a page builder, a cache plugin fighting the host cache, and a homepage that takes six seconds to appear.

We build custom themes with the block editor, using Advanced Custom Fields and native block patterns for the pieces your team edits regularly. The result is an admin area that only shows the controls you actually need, and a front end that has nothing loaded on it that is not being used.

Editing that does not need a manual

Marketing teams should be able to add a case study or swap a homepage banner without asking a developer. We design the admin experience alongside the front end: named fields, sensible defaults, preview that matches the live page.

Security and maintenance from day one

Every build ships with automatic core and plugin updates on a staging first workflow, daily backups, a web application firewall and uptime monitoring. Sites break most often after launch, not during it.

Scope

  • Reusable block patterns for landing pages
  • Speed optimisation and caching configuration
  • Security hardening and firewall setup

  • On page SEO structure and schema markup
  • Editor training session and written documentation
  • Thirty days of post launch support

Why it works

The parts that make the difference

01

No page builder tax

Elementor and Divi add megabytes to every page. Native blocks give the same editing freedom with a fraction of the weight.

02

A clean admin

We strip the dashboard back to the things your team uses, so nobody has to guess which of nine menu items is the right one.

03

Content modelled properly

Case studies, services and locations get their own post types and fields rather than being pages with headings pretending to be structure.

04

Safe to update

Staging first deployments mean updates get tested before they touch the live site.

Process

How a wordpress development project runs

You get a named contact, a shared board and a weekly update. No agency black box.

  1. Step 1

    Content model

    We map every content type, the fields it needs and who edits it, before any design work starts.

    Week 1
  2. Step 2

    Design system

    Type scale, colour, spacing and components designed as a system so new pages stay consistent.

    Weeks 2 to 3
  3. Step 3

    Theme build

    Custom theme and blocks built on staging, reviewed weekly with a live preview link.

    Weeks 3 to 6
  4. Step 4

    Migrate and launch

    Content migration, redirect mapping, final QA, then launch with monitoring in place.
