Who You Work with on Your WordPress Site

Marketing directors, business owners and IT directors in Leeds usually ask who will look after the site. We answer with a named person and an open line.

One Person, Many Skills

Your project lead is the person who owns delivery and returns your calls. Developers, designers and QA stand behind them, which gives a Leeds team capacity that would be slow to hire.

Keeping You Informed

Meetings run on video, or in person by arrangement, and short written updates follow. Each one notes what was decided, what has changed and what we need from you.

Working with Editors and IT

We work with your editors, marketers, IT staff and any in-house developers, plus an existing supplier. Written documentation and a tidy handover leave your team able to manage the site.

Websites We Build for Leeds Organisations

WordPress, Webflow or Shopify? A Plain-English Guide

Who edits the site, and what must it do? Those two questions decide between the platforms below.
Platform

WordPress

WordPress development
Pick it when
A large body of content, a wish for plugin choice and a preference for your own hosting all point here.
Watch for
It asks for steady upkeep across plugins, updates and security.
Platform

Webflow

Webflow development
Pick it when
The brief is a good-looking marketing site that your team can update by dragging and clicking.
Watch for
Complicated requirements can push you towards custom code or other services.
Platform

Shopify

Shopify development
Pick it when
Your priority is e-commerce, with hosting and checkout supplied in one package.
Watch for
Transaction fees and plan limits apply.
Your store may already live on WordPress. We compare WooCommerce and Shopify, then pick a direction with you.

What We Check Before a WordPress Site Goes Live

Go-live day is when sites lose visitors. Every project gets this list.
Check the Current Targets

Google Search Central explains Core Web Vitals here →

Staging is fully tested before the live site is changed
A spreadsheet of redirects linking each former page to the new one
We review title tags, descriptions and headings for each template in the theme
Core Web Vitals scores checked on key pages
We check each plugin and delete the unused or neglected ones
Who can reach the admin area is limited, and logins are hardened
Forms working, and enquiries delivered to the right person or CRM
Proof that backups restore, plus a maintenance rhythm for updates

What Shapes the Cost of a WordPress Site

Quotes are written after a call, since a WordPress site can be small or a full platform. Six factors have the biggest effect on effort.

Theme and Design

↑ Costs more when
nothing off the shelf will do for the theme or blocks
↓ Costs less when
your brand can sit on top of a ready-made theme

Content and Structure

↑ Costs more when
the site must handle diverse content types, search filters and member logins
↓ Costs less when
a short page list plus a blog covers the whole site

Plugins and Features

↑ Costs more when
bespoke plugins for booking, memberships or rules are required
↓ Costs less when
well-maintained plugins already cover the features

Migration

↑ Costs more when
a page count in the hundreds comes with redirect and metadata work
↓ Costs less when
a short, well-organised site is the one moving

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
it must connect to a CRM, payments or email platform
↓ Costs less when
forms from a standard plugin and common embeds will do

Hosting and Security

↑ Costs more when
high traffic or sensitive data raises the stakes
↓ Costs less when
nothing more than a common host and regular patching is needed

Hire WordPress Developers

Choose by team and stage. A business launching its first site suits a fixed build, an in-house marketing team may want ongoing hours, and a large site suits dedicated developers.

Fixed Price Build

A set page list, theme and price. Fits a clear brief and a date you must hit.
Suits

Time and Material

Pay for hours worked and shift priorities as content and features evolve. Fits sites that grow in stages.
Suits

Dedicated WordPress Developers

Place a developer, or a pair, on your backlog and they work through it each sprint. Helpful for large or busy sites.

How to Choose a WordPress Agency

Anyone can add WordPress to a skills list. Put these seven questions to find out who builds and maintains sites daily.
01

Are There Live WordPress Projects I Can Look At?

Listen for
Yes, live sites you can open and click through.
02

How Easy Will It Be for My Colleagues to Update Content?

Listen for
Coaching for your team, defined content types and a written manual.
03

What Stops Us Losing Search Visitors When the Site Moves?

Listen for
Redirect planning, metadata review and aftercare once the site is live.
04

Our Last Developer Left the Site Half Rebuilt. Can You Continue?

Listen for
Yes, after a review of theme, plugins and hosting, then a written plan.
05

Who Looks After Patches and Protection on the Site?

Listen for
Testing on staging, tight control of admin accounts and tested backups.
06

Will You Work with Our Marketing Team or IT Department?

Listen for
Yes, working from shared boards and agreed points of handover.
07

Will You Say So If WordPress Is Not the Fit?

Listen for
Yes, and Webflow or Shopify are put through the same test.

How We Run a WordPress Project

Expect six stages with a review at the end of each. The time each one takes varies with site size.
01

Discovery

About a week in which we audit what you have: pages, content, plugins and aims.
02

Scoping

Typically one to two weeks to agree the site map, content types and a quote.
03

Design and Prototyping

About two weeks to draw up page designs or assess existing ones, finishing with sign-off.
04

WordPress Build

Theme, plugins and integrations built on staging, in short stages you review.
05

Evaluation

A testing phase for speed, security, forms, redirects and browsers.
06

Launch and Support

Go-live, close monitoring, training for editors and whichever maintenance plan you pick.
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.
