WordPress Development
When the client needs to update their own content, WordPress still makes sense.
WordPress powers around 40% of the web for good reason. For businesses that need to regularly update content themselves, manage a blog, or hand the site over to a non-technical team, WordPress is a practical and well-understood choice.
The difference between a good WordPress site and a slow, bloated, vulnerable one is almost entirely in how it is built. A well-constructed WordPress site with a lean custom theme, minimal plugins, and proper hosting can perform well and stay secure. The problems come from over-reliance on page builders and poorly maintained plugin stacks.
What is included
- Custom theme development (no off-the-shelf theme hacks)
- Block editor configuration for easy content management
- Plugin selection and configuration - only what is necessary
- Performance optimisation including caching and image handling
- Security hardening and update workflow setup
- Content migration from existing site if required
- Training so you can update the site confidently
How it works
Requirements
We establish what content the client needs to manage themselves and what can be handled statically.
Design
The design is worked out in Figma, matching your brand precisely before theme development begins.
Theme build
A custom theme is built to the design. No bloated parent theme frameworks.
Plugin setup
Only necessary plugins are installed and configured. Every plugin is a maintenance and security liability.
Handover
The site is documented and a training session ensures you can manage content from day one.
Why it matters
For a business that genuinely needs staff to update the site regularly without developer involvement, WordPress remains the most practical option. For businesses that rarely update content, a Next.js static site will be faster, more secure, and cheaper to maintain. The right choice depends on your actual content management needs.
What you get
- Non-technical staff can update content without developer help
- Large ecosystem of plugins for CRM, bookings, and third-party integrations
- Familiar admin interface that most people can use without training
- SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math) with well-established track records
