What we do

What our WordPress development covers

WooCommerce stores

Online stores with custom checkout, payments, shipping rules, subscriptions and ERP or inventory sync.

Speed optimisation

Caching, image handling, script clean-up and hosting tuning to improve Core Web Vitals and load times.

Security and maintenance

Hardening, updates, backups, malware clean-up and monitoring, with guaranteed-response support.

Headless WordPress

WordPress as the content editor with a fast Next.js front end, connected through REST or WPGraphQL.

In depth

How we approach WordPress development

Custom themes over heavy page builders

Page builders are quick to start with but often add a lot of code to every page. We build lightweight block themes with patterns your team can reuse, which keeps pages fast and editing simple.

Speed and security together

Most slow or hacked WordPress sites have too many plugins, outdated code or weak hosting. We audit plugins, remove what is not needed, keep core and extensions updated and put caching, a firewall and backups in place.

WooCommerce that scales

For larger stores we use high-performance order storage, optimise database queries and offload search and heavy jobs. Custom checkout and pricing logic goes into maintainable plugins rather than snippets in the theme.

When headless makes sense

Headless WordPress suits sites that need app-like speed, content shared across web and mobile, or a custom front end. For most marketing sites, a well-built classic or block theme is simpler and cheaper to run.
