WordPress Development

Powerful, scalable WordPress websites and custom plugins built to your exact specifications — fast, secure, and easy for your team to manage.

WordPress powers 43% of all websites on the internet — and for good reason. When built properly, it's a powerhouse CMS that gives your team full control over content without touching code. We go far beyond standard themes: we build custom WordPress solutions engineered to perform, scale, and stay secure.

What We Build on WordPress

Custom Themes

Pixel-perfect, hand-coded themes built to your Figma design — no generic templates, no page builder lock-in.

Custom Plugins

Bespoke plugins that add exactly the functionality you need — booking systems, membership portals, custom post types, and more.

Gutenberg Blocks

Custom Gutenberg blocks so your editors can build any page layout without developer help — fast and flexible.

WooCommerce Stores

Tailored WooCommerce setups with custom product types, payment gateways, shipping rules, and checkout flows.

Performance Tuning

Caching, image optimisation, database cleanup, CDN setup, and server configuration for blazing-fast load times.

Security & Hardening

Two-factor authentication, brute-force protection, file integrity monitoring, and malware removal if you've been hit.

Our WordPress Development Process

1

Audit & Plan

Review your existing site (or plan from scratch) — plugins, theme, hosting, security, and performance baseline.

2

Design

Custom Figma designs reviewed and approved before development — no guessing, no surprises.

3

Theme Development

Hand-coded child or custom theme using modern PHP, SCSS, and JavaScript — no bloated frameworks.

4

Plugin & Integration

Custom plugin development and third-party integrations — CRM, email marketing, analytics, and payment systems.

5

QA & Optimisation

Cross-browser testing, performance audits, security scans, and accessibility checks before going live.

6

Training & Handover

CMS training for your team so they're fully confident managing content independently from day one.
