Core to custom Plugins & themes Fast & maintainable

WordPress done properly — from brochure sites to bespoke themes and everything between.

We build and care for business WordPress sites: curated plugin stacks, custom or child themes, WooCommerce and membership patterns where needed, and hosting-aware performance so editors stay productive and visitors do not bounce on mobile.

Themes that fit your brand
Classic, child, block, or hybrid — without unmaintainable page-builder soup
Plugins with purpose
Vetted, updated, and documented — not “install all” bloat
Hardening & updates
Backups, staging, and sane update cadence your team can follow

The right level of WordPress for your organisation — not every bell by default.

Some clients need a polished marketing site on a well-chosen theme. Others need custom post types, gated content, multilingual SEO, or WooCommerce with sensible shipping rules. We scope honestly, document decisions, and keep the stack something your agency or internal team can inherit without fear.

Standard, customised, or fully custom

We deliver standard WordPress setups when speed and cost matter, customised themes when brand and layout need more control, and bespoke theme or plugin work when your content model or checkout flow does not map cleanly to off-the-shelf patterns. In every case we care about Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and a plugin list you can defend in an audit.

  • Block editor patterns, reusable components, and guardrails for editors
  • Staging workflows, backups, and rollback paths before risky updates
  • Hosting and object-cache guidance matched to your traffic profile

Themes & templates you can evolve — not fight every quarter.

Whether we extend a quality starter theme, ship a child theme on top of a stable parent, or build a custom theme from your design system, we avoid fragile one-off CSS and keep templates readable for the next developer.

Information architecture & templates
Page templates, archive behaviour, and block patterns aligned to your IA.
Blocks & ACF (when appropriate)
Custom blocks or fields with validation — not infinite flexible “do anything” layouts that break.
WooCommerce & memberships
Product types, tax/shipping, subscriptions, and member areas scoped to what you actually sell.

Plugins, integrations, and “everything in between” — with guardrails.

Forms, CRM handoffs, SEO, caching, SMTP, search, multilingual — each adds surface area. We choose maintained plugins, configure them deliberately, and document overlaps so updates do not become roulette.

SEO & metadata

Sitemaps, canonicals, schema where justified, and editor guidance so titles and OG tags stay consistent.

Multilingual

WPML, Polylang, or multisite patterns — picked for your editorial workflow and URL strategy.

Forms & deliverability

SMTP, anti-spam, GDPR-friendly retention, and CRM or ticketing hooks that operations actually use.

Caching & performance

Page cache, object cache where supported, image pipelines, and critical CSS decisions explained.

Auth & hardening

Login limits, CAPTCHA where needed, file permissions, and least-privilege admin roles.

Migrations & imports

Content, redirects, and media moves from legacy CMS or static sites with SEO continuity.

A clear process. No mystery phases.

WordPress projects stall when hosting, DNS, licences, and content ownership are fuzzy. We line those up early so build weeks are productive.

1
Discovery & stack plan
Goals, content types, integrations, hosting constraints, and plugin shortlist agreed in writing.
2
Design & build
Templates, patterns, Woo or membership flows, and editor training materials in parallel where useful.
3
Content, QA & performance
Migration passes, accessibility checks, Core Web Vitals on staging, and security headers where applicable.
4
Launch & care plan
Go-live checklist, monitoring hooks, update policy, and optional retained hours for fixes and features.

From agreed stack to editors who are not afraid to publish

We start by locking hosting, domains, SSL, backups, and who owns licences for premium plugins — then align the theme and plugin plan to your editorial reality. That avoids late surprises where a required integration conflicts with your page builder or cache layer.

Build and content migration run with staging and version control where appropriate; we rehearse updates and rollback before launch. After go-live you receive concise handover docs, a sensible update cadence, and optional care so discovery, build, QA, launch, and steady-state improvements stay traceable from kick-off through the releases that follow.

What you walk away with.

Exact outputs depend on standard vs custom scope; this is a representative baseline.

  • WordPress install, theme, and child theme (or custom theme) as agreed
  • Documented plugin list with roles, settings, and update notes
  • Editor guide: patterns, forms, SEO fields, and common tasks
  • Hardening checklist applied + baseline security headers where hosting allows
  • Backup and restore verification notes
  • Launch runbook: DNS, caching, search index, and post-launch monitoring
