WordPress

WordPress is brilliant, until it isn't

Anyone can install WordPress and pick a template. We help when it needs to do something a template can't, or when it's turned into a scabby old site nobody dares update.

You'll be talking to one of us, not a salesperson.

Got a scabby old WordPress site?

You'd be amazed how many businesses run on one. Thirty plugins, half of them out of date. A theme from years ago that someone hacked about. A developer who's stopped answering. It works, mostly, and everyone's frightened to press Update.

Don't be embarrassed. We see this all the time, and it's usually fixable. We'll read what's there, tell you honestly what state it's in, make it safe, and carry on from there.

How we take on existing sites and software

The WordPress work we do

  • Rescues and tidy-ups

    Hacked, slow, broken or out of date. We clean it up, strip out what isn't needed and get it updating safely again.

  • Custom plugins

    When the plugin you need doesn't exist, or one does 70% of the job and not the other 30%, we write the code.

  • Bespoke themes

    Built around your content and how your team manages the site, not a premium theme with your logo swapped in.

  • Integrations

    WordPress talking properly to your CRM, ERP or back-office systems, so nobody retypes anything.

  • Membership and content sites

    Sites where editors need to publish confidently, and where the site still has to load fast and stay secure.

  • Speed and security

    Finding out why it's slow, fixing it, and closing the holes.

We'll tell you if it's outgrown WordPress.

WordPress is genuinely excellent at what it's for. It's less good when it's been bent into doing something it was never meant to, and a site held together with plugins has really become an application.

If that's what's happened, we'll tell you straight rather than bolting on another twenty plugins and hoping. Sometimes the right answer is something custom. Often it's just keeping WordPress and doing it properly.

And then we look after it

WordPress needs regular care. Core, themes and plugins all need updating, and that's how most sites end up in trouble. We keep it updated, backed up and hosted, and we're here when you want something changed. Here's how looking after it works.
