WordPress Development

WordPress built by people who also build software

WordPress runs a large share of the web because it is genuinely good at what it does. It gets a bad reputation from how it is usually assembled, a theme, thirty plugins, and nobody accountable for what happens next.

What we do

Beyond installing a theme

Custom themes and blocks

Built to your design, with a block editor your marketing team can actually use, not a page builder that fights them on every layout.

Plugin development

Custom functionality written properly instead of bolted on with the fourth plugin that half does it. Fewer dependencies, fewer things to break on update.

Headless WordPress

WordPress as the editorial back end with a Next.js front end, keeps the CMS your team knows while removing the performance ceiling.

Performance work

Core Web Vitals, caching strategy, image handling and query optimisation. Usually the cheapest conversion improvement available to a content site.

Security and maintenance

Hardening, update discipline, backups and monitoring. Most WordPress compromises exploit a known vulnerability in something nobody updated.

Migration and rescue

Moving off a failing host, consolidating plugin sprawl, or recovering a site whose original developer is long gone.

What changes

A site your team can run

Editors stop filing tickets

Content changes that needed a developer become things the marketing team does themselves in an afternoon.

Pages get faster

Measured in the field on real devices and connections, not in a lab test on a fast laptop.

Fewer moving parts

Plugin count comes down, which reduces both the update burden and the surface area for a compromise.

Someone owns it

Documented setup, known hosting, and a maintenance routine, rather than a site nobody wants to touch.

How we start

Audit before rebuild

01

Audit

We review the theme, plugins, hosting, performance and security posture, then tell you which problems are worth money to fix and which are cosmetic.

02

Fix what pays

Performance and security work first where the site is broadly sound. A rebuild is a recommendation we make when it is genuinely cheaper than the alternative.

03

Build and hand over

Custom theme or headless front end, editor training, documentation, and a maintenance plan if you want one.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

For content-led sites where non-technical people publish regularly, very often yes, the editing experience and ecosystem are hard to beat. For application-like products with complex state and permissions, usually not. We will tell you which situation you are in, including when the answer costs us the WordPress project.
Frequently. Hosting, caching, image handling and plugin bloat account for most WordPress performance problems, and all are fixable in place. The audit tells you whether that is your situation before you commit to anything larger.
It means keeping WordPress for editing while serving the front end from a separate application such as Next.js. It removes the performance ceiling and gives full design control, at the cost of more infrastructure to run. Worth it for high-traffic content sites; overkill for a brochure site.
Yes, after an audit. We need to know what we are inheriting before we can be accountable for it, and occasionally the audit concludes that a rebuild is cheaper than maintaining what is there.
