WordPress designand developmentfor UK businesses

We design and build WordPress websites for service businesses, charities, manufacturers and anyone whose site is mostly content. Most are built on a custom block theme, so pages load fast and your team can edit them without a developer. Where a site needs Elementor, we build with that.

Who it’s for

Sites that are hard to edit or slow to load

  • WordPress sites that have become slow and hard to change, whether built on a page builder or a bought theme.

  • Businesses that need staff to add pages, case studies and news without breaking the layout.

  • Charities and organisations that need forms which connect to their other systems.

  • Manufacturers with product catalogues that need filters, spec sheets and downloads.

When it isn’t a fit

If you mainly sell products online, Shopify is usually the better platform, and we'll tell you so.

What’s included

A WordPress site your team can run

For most new sites we build a custom block theme. The editor shows your own blocks in your own styles, so the site looks the same after a year of edits as on launch day. If your team already works in Elementor, or the site needs it, we build with Elementor instead.

Where a site needs something no plugin does well, we build it as a custom WordPress plugin. At Architectural FX one custom plugin replaced three, and products now publish from a Google Sheet.

Includes

Custom block themes, Gutenberg blocks, Elementor, WooCommerce, Custom WordPress plugins, Forms and integrations, Speed work, Accessibility, Migrations from page builders, Hosting, SEO foundations.

How a WordPress project works

Most WordPress builds take 4 to 6 weeks from kick-off to launch. Sites with custom plugins or integrations take longer. We fix the timeline at the end of discovery.

  1. Discovery

    One week

    We agree the pages, the goals, the audience and what your team needs to edit.

  2. Design

    We design the page templates and the blocks your team will build pages with. You sign off the designs before we start building.

  3. Build

    We build the block theme, move your content across and connect forms and integrations.

  4. Launch

    Redirects, analytics, hosting and DNS, all checked before the site goes live.

  5. Care

    Optional

    A WordPress care plan with hosting, updates, backups and monitoring, from £55 a month.
