WordPress Development Agency in the UK

Cost depends on the number of page templates and custom blocks, whether the design is bespoke, the amount of content to migrate, integrations with CRM or other systems, multilingual or Multisite requirements, and hosting. A focused business site costs far less than a large Multisite network or headless build. We provide a fixed-scope quote after discovery.

The timeline for a focused WordPress website is confirmed after discovery; large sites with many templates, migrations or integrations can take a few months. Work moves through discovery, content planning, design, theme and block development on staging, content migration, testing and launch. Timely content and feedback keep the project on schedule.

An existing theme can suit a small site with standard needs and a tight budget. A custom theme is better when you need a distinctive design, fast performance, specific content structures or an editing experience that reduces accidental layout changes. Many multipurpose themes include features you will never use, adding weight and maintenance. We recommend whichever fits your requirements.

Yes. We review the current site’s content, plugins, performance and analytics, keep what works and rebuild the rest with a cleaner theme and block library. Where a full rebuild is not needed, we can redesign key templates or replace a heavy page builder gradually. Redirects and search settings are protected throughout.

We map every existing URL to its new address, set up redirects, and carry over page titles, meta descriptions, structured data and media. Content and internal links are checked on staging before launch, and Search Console, crawl errors and rankings are monitored afterwards. No migration can guarantee unchanged rankings, but careful planning keeps disruption to a minimum and helps identify and address migration-related search issues.

Yes. WordPress can run large, high-traffic sites when built and hosted properly. We use custom post types and taxonomies for structured content, editorial roles and workflows, Multisite for groups of related sites, object caching and CDN delivery, and enterprise-grade managed hosting. Headless WordPress is also an option when content must feed several front ends.

Yes. WordPress connects to CRM platforms such as HubSpot and Salesforce, plus email marketing, analytics, booking and recruitment tools, through established plugins or custom REST API integrations. Forms are mapped to the right CRM fields and tested end to end. Where a site needs a simple shop, we can add WooCommerce; larger online stores are covered on our eCommerce Development page.

We replace heavy themes and page builders, limit plugins, optimise images and fonts, load scripts only where needed, and use server, object and page caching with a CDN. Good managed hosting makes a big difference too. We measure Core Web Vitals before and after changes, so improvements are based on evidence.

We use managed hosting with a web application firewall, enforce strong passwords and two-factor authentication, apply least-privilege user roles and keep the plugin list small. Updates to WordPress core, themes and plugins are tested on staging before release, with daily backups and uptime and malware monitoring in place. Our care plans cover ongoing updates, fixes and performance checks.

Yes. We build custom Gutenberg blocks and patterns so your team can create and edit pages within agreed layouts, with user roles controlling who can publish. At handover, we provide written and video guides and a training session, and our support team can help with anything more complex.
