Who You Work with on Your WordPress Site

Marketing directors, business owners and IT leads in Birmingham are the people we deal with most. We keep one point of contact so questions about the site never wait.

A Named Lead You Can Ring

You deal with a single project lead who is accountable for delivery and answers the phone. Developers, designers and QA sit behind that person, so a Birmingham business gets a whole team without recruiting one.

Plain Updates, Regular Meetings

Video calls are our default and in person works by arrangement. Afterwards a short note records the decisions made, the work moved forward and what we’re waiting on from your side.

Fitting in with Your Editors

We work with your editors, marketers and any in-house developers, plus the supplier who looks after hosting or plugins. Written documentation and a tidy handover keep everyone confident afterwards.

A WordPress site needs steady upkeep, so before launch we decide who applies security patches and who reviews plugins.

WordPress, Webflow or Shopify? A Plain-English Guide

No platform wins every time. We compare the three by looking at your editors, your content and the features you need.
Platform

WordPress

WordPress development
Pick it when
Pick WordPress if your library of content is big, your feature list leans on plugins, or hosting is your call.
Watch for
You must keep up with patches, plugin changes and protection.
Platform

Webflow

Webflow development
Pick it when
A polished marketing site that people without coding skills can adjust visually.
Watch for
Anything intricate may be handled by bespoke code or add-on services.
Platform

Shopify

Shopify development
Pick it when
Shopify suits stores that want hosting and a ready-made checkout.
Watch for
Transaction fees and plan limits apply.
If your shop runs on WordPress today, we set WooCommerce beside Shopify and recommend one.

What We Check Before a WordPress Site Goes Live

Upgrades and migrations go wrong at launch more than anywhere else. So we work through the same checks on every project.
Check the Current Targets

the Core Web Vitals guide on Google Search Central →

Everything is trialled on staging first, so the live site stays untouched
Redirects set up for each retired address, pointing to its replacement
Every template checked for title tags, meta descriptions and heading order
Core Web Vitals targets used as the yardstick for page speed
A clear-out of plugins nobody uses or maintains
Strong authentication, and admin rights for named users alone
Contact forms checked, with messages arriving where they should
We restore a backup to prove it, then set an update schedule

What Shapes the Cost of a WordPress Site

Costs depend on whether you need a brochure or a platform, so we leave prices off this page. Six factors drive the effort most.

Theme and Design

↑ Costs more when
you want a theme and block library designed from scratch
↓ Costs less when
a tried theme, tailored to your brand, will do

Content and Structure

↑ Costs more when
the build needs member areas, filters and multiple content types
↓ Costs less when
the site is a few pages with a blog

Plugins and Features

↑ Costs more when
custom plugins must handle bookings, memberships or business rules
↓ Costs less when
up-to-date plugins already offer what you need

Migration

↑ Costs more when
migration covers hundreds of pages plus redirects and metadata
↓ Costs less when
only a compact site with orderly content is migrated

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
it must link to a CRM, payment service or email platform
↓ Costs less when
standard forms and ordinary embeds meet your needs

Hosting and Security

↑ Costs more when
heavy visitor numbers or confidential records are involved
↓ Costs less when
mainstream hosting and a simple patch routine suffice

Hire WordPress Developers

Choose the model that matches how you work. Companies replacing an old site tend to like a fixed build, startups often favour time and material, and marketing teams with a steady stream of changes do well with dedicated developers.

Fixed Price Build

You know what you’re getting and what it costs before we start. Works when the plan is firm and the launch date is fixed.
Suits

Time and Material

Billing follows the hours we work, and you can change direction as the site develops. Works for sites that expand step by step.
Suits

Dedicated WordPress Developers

Dedicated developers join your team and work through the backlog in sprints. Ideal for busy sites with constant requests.

How to Choose a WordPress Agency

WordPress features on most agency websites. These seven questions separate people who build and run it daily from those who only list it.
01

Can I Inspect Sites You Built?

Listen for
Working sites you can browse, rather than mock-ups alone.
02

What Will Editing Look Like for My Staff?

Listen for
Training sessions, orderly content types and guides on paper.
03

Will Moving to a New Site Hurt My Visibility in Search?

Listen for
Former URLs redirected and tested, followed by close monitoring.
04

Can You Rescue a Project Another Developer Abandoned Midway?

Listen for
A review of the theme, plugins and hosting, ending in a plan on paper for you.
05

What Protects the Site From Attack Once It's Live?

Listen for
Staging trials for updates, a short list of admins and backups proven by restoring them.
06

Will You Fit in with Our Marketing and IT Colleagues?

Listen for
Yes, using your planning tools and agreed hand-off points.
07

Will You Be Honest If Another Platform Suits Me Better?

Listen for
Yes, and alternatives such as Webflow or Shopify are weighed on merit.

How We Run a WordPress Project

There are six stages, and every one finishes with something for you to review. How long each takes depends on the size of the site.
01

Discovery

About a week to review existing pages, content, add-ons and goals.
02

Scoping

Usually one to two weeks, ending with an agreed site map, content types and a written quote.
03

Design and Prototyping

Around two weeks to produce page designs, or to review the ones you bring, ready for sign-off.
04

WordPress Build

We develop the theme, plugins and integrations on a staging site, with reviews after each short stage.
05

Evaluation

Testing covers page speed, security, forms, redirects and different browsers ahead of launch.
06

Launch and Support

We handle go-live and monitoring, train your editors and set up the maintenance plan you choose.
Each stage ends with something you can review.

The Villas Mooloolaba

Hospitality / Boutique Vacation Rental
The Villas Mooloolaba does the hard part well – four unique two-bedroom villas around a shared pool on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: competing against hotel chains and OTA listings meant direct booking had to feel just as easy, and guests couldn’t easily compare all four villas.
