What our WordPress development covers
Custom WordPress themes
Block-based themes built for your brand, with editable sections so your team can update pages without a developer.
Plugin development
Custom plugins for features, integrations and admin tools, written to WordPress coding standards.
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.
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Most slow or hacked WordPress sites have too many plugins, outdated code or weak hosting.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.
