Most of the sites we build are WordPress sites. It is widely used, it does not lock you into our studio to change a paragraph, and it will support you later if you add a blog, a shop, or extra pages.
We design and build new WordPress sites, and we move existing websites onto WordPress when the current platform is holding you back.
Why we build in WordPress
- You can edit text, images and simple pages after handover, with a short guide
- The platform can grow — extra pages, a blog, or WooCommerce — without starting again
- Hosting, backups and updates are well understood, whether you host with us or elsewhere
- You are not tied to a single supplier’s closed tool
We use WordPress because it is a practical choice for small and medium-sized UK businesses, not because it is the only tool we will ever touch. If a project is genuinely a better fit for another platform, we will say so.
What we do
- New WordPress websites within our Refresh, Business and Commerce packages
- Rebuilds of dated WordPress sites that have been neglected or over-plugin’d
- Migrations from older or closed platforms, with a redirect plan
- Sensible themes and components, kept as light as the project allows
- Forms, basic SEO setup, and SSL at launch
We do not pile on plugins for features you will not use. If something needs a specialist plugin or a developer customisation, it is agreed in the scope first.
Moving an existing site to WordPress
A migration is more than copying and pasting. We will typically:
1. Inventory the current pages, forms and any shop or booking tools 2. Agree what moves, what is rewritten, and what can go 3. Build the new WordPress site on a staging address 4. Plan redirects, DNS and email so the switch is controlled 5. Test forms, mobile layouts and key journeys before the site goes live
A practical checklist is one of our planned blog posts — use that article once it is written, and link here from it.
