Who You Work with on Your WordPress Site

Most of our UK conversations start with a marketing director, communications lead or IT manager. Having one person to ask means site questions get answered quickly.

Someone to Ring

Expect one project lead to run delivery and answer your calls. Developers, designers and QA testers are lined up behind them, so the team you need is ready without a recruitment round.

Short Notes After Each Meeting

We meet on video, or in person by arrangement, in UK hours whether the clocks are on GMT or BST. A short written update follows, recording what was decided, what moved and what we still need.

Around Your Editors

Our team works alongside your editors, marketers and in-house developers, plus whoever handles hosting or plugins. Clear documentation and a tidy handover leave everyone confident once we step back.

WordPress, Webflow or Shopify? A Plain-English Guide

We look at who maintains content and what the site must handle, then rate the three platforms honestly for organisations across the UK.
Platform

WordPress

WordPress development
Pick it when
You publish a big content library, need many plugins or want to pick your own host.
Watch for
Ongoing work is needed on updates, plugins and site security.
Platform

Webflow

Webflow development
Pick it when
Choose this if the look comes first and non-technical colleagues will do the editing visually.
Watch for
Complex needs may mean writing custom code or adding third-party tools.
Platform

Shopify

Shopify development
Pick it when
You sell online and want a hosted shop with built-in checkout.
Watch for

What We Check Before a WordPress Site Goes Live

Visitors slip away when upgrades and migrations are rushed. This is the list we follow before every go-live.
Check the Current Targets

Google's Core Web Vitals page on Search Central →

End to end testing on staging comes before any live deployment
A redirect map from each old address to its matching page
Template by template, we check headings, title tags and descriptions
Speed tested against the Core Web Vitals targets, on staging and live
Unused or unmaintained plugins identified in an audit and removed
Admin permissions kept to named individuals and secured by solid sign-in
Forms tested, with enquiries sent to the right inbox or CRM
Backups proven by restoring one, plus an update routine

What Shapes the Cost of a WordPress Site

A brochure site and a content platform are different jobs, so prices stay off this page. Six factors move the effort most.

Theme and Design

↑ Costs more when
a tailor-made theme and set of blocks is the brief
↓ Costs less when
a reliable theme reworked for your brand does the job

Content and Structure

↑ Costs more when
content comes in many forms, with filters and private member areas
↓ Costs less when
your site is a blog with a modest number of pages

Plugins and Features

↑ Costs more when
bespoke plugins for bookings, memberships or custom rules are needed
↓ Costs less when
supported plugins can provide the features as they are

Migration

↑ Costs more when
a large archive of pages must move with redirects and metadata
↓ Costs less when
the site being moved is small and well kept

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
the site must link to a CRM, payment service or email platform
↓ Costs less when
ordinary forms and common embeds satisfy the brief

Hosting and Security

↑ Costs more when
the site gets heavy use or keeps sensitive details
↓ Costs less when
everyday hosting and regular patches are sufficient

Hire WordPress Developers

Pick the arrangement that fits your team. A business replacing an ageing site suits a fixed price build, a startup may prefer time and material, and a busy publishing team suits dedicated developers.

Fixed Price Build

The deliverables and the fee are settled in advance. A sensible fit when the plan is clear and the go-live date known.
Suits

Time and Material

Charges track time worked, and you can reprioritise as plans change. Fits sites that are built out one stage at a time.
Suits

Dedicated WordPress Developers

Developers committed to your site tackle the backlog in each sprint. Appropriate for large sites or heavy workloads.

How to Choose a WordPress Agency

WordPress appears on countless agency skill lists. This set of seven questions shows who builds and looks after it day to day.
01

Can I Inspect Sites You Built?

Listen for
Real websites you can open and try, beyond screenshots.
02

How Will My Editors Use It?

Listen for
Training offered, content types laid out clearly and guides you can keep.
03

Will Migrating Cost Us Our Search Visibility?

Listen for
Old addresses are redirected and checked, then results are watched closely.
04

Do You Take on Unfinished Sites From Other Developers?

Listen for
We audit the existing theme, extensions and hosting, then set out next steps in writing.
05

How Is the Site Kept Secure?

Listen for
Patches rehearsed on staging, narrow admin rights and backups that have been restored.
06

Are You Comfortable Joining Forces with Our Own Marketing or IT Staff?

Listen for
Yes, in your planning tools, with agreed hand-offs.
07

Do You Ever Advise Against WordPress?

Listen for
Yes, after weighing WordPress against Webflow and Shopify openly.

How We Run a WordPress Project

Six stages, and each one hands you something to approve. Timelines flex with the size of the site.
01

Discovery

About a week for us to go through your pages, content, plugins and aims.
02

Scoping

Plan on one to two weeks to confirm the site map, content types and a quote in writing.
03

Design and Prototyping

Allow around two weeks for designs, or for a look at designs you already hold, before you approve them.
04

WordPress Build

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

Evaluation

Pre-launch checks look at speed, security, forms, redirects and browsers.
06

Launch and Support

Expect go-live, monitoring, editor training and the maintenance arrangement you opt for.
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.
