WordPress runs more of the web than any other platform, and most of it is slow, insecure and hard to edit. That is not WordPress. That is page builders, forty plugins and a theme nobody understands. We build WordPress the way its own developers build it: a custom block theme, native blocks, the content your team edits in the same place it appears, and a short list of plugins each of which earns its place.
The result is a site that scores 95 or higher on Lighthouse mobile, loads in under two seconds on a mid range phone, passes a security audit, and can be updated by your marketing team without calling a developer.
WordPress is the platform behind most of our portfolio. We have built real estate websites in Dubai, a restaurant site, healthcare brands, schools and tour operators. Our founder has worked hands on in WordPress since 2016, and WooCommerce and Shopify since the same year.
What is included
- A custom block theme designed for your brand, using Full Site Editing so every part of the site is editable
- No page builders. Native blocks and patterns your team can reuse without breaking the design
- Design tokens for colour, type and spacing taken from your brand guidelines, so the site stays on brand as it grows
- Content modelling: case studies, services, locations, team, whatever your business needs, as proper content types with the right fields
- Search engine foundations built in: clean URLs, structured data, sitemaps, Open Graph, one heading structure per page
- Performance to a published budget: images in AVIF and WebP, self hosted fonts, critical CSS, no jQuery on the front end
- Security hardening: headers, login limits, no file editing in the dashboard, a security audit before launch
- Hosting and CDN set up, or a review of the hosting you already have
- Training for your team and a month of support after launch
How it works
1. Discover
We learn your business, your customers and what the site has to do, and we look at what you have today. If you have an existing site we audit it for speed, security and search first.
2. Plan
Sitemap, content plan, content types and a fixed scope with price and timeline. You see what you need to supply and what we write.
3. Design
Direction first, then every template, reviewed on a real phone. Patterns are designed so the pages your team adds later look as good as the ones we launch.
4. Build
Theme and any site specific plugin written to WordPress coding standards, tested from 320 pixels wide, with the performance budget checked on every template before we show it to you.
5. Launch and grow
Redirects, sitemap and search console on launch day. Then care, content and search from the same team, if you want it.
Do you use Elementor or another page builder?
No. Page builders add weight, lock your content into their markup and break when they update. We build with WordPress's own block editor and Full Site Editing, which gives your team the same visual editing with none of the cost.
How fast will the site be?
We build to a budget: Lighthouse mobile 95 or higher, Largest Contentful Paint under 1.8 seconds, under 1 MB on the home page. We test on a mid range Android phone on 4G, and we show you the numbers before launch.
Can you fix or rebuild my existing WordPress site?
Yes. We start with an audit of speed, security and search. Sometimes the right answer is a clean up and a new theme, sometimes a rebuild. We tell you which and why.
Will my team be able to edit the site?
Yes. Every page is built from blocks and patterns your team can edit, add and rearrange. We train your team at launch and we are a message away afterwards.
Do you build WooCommerce stores on WordPress?
Yes. WooCommerce is our platform of choice when the store and the content need to live in one site or when you want full control without monthly platform fees. See our WooCommerce service for the detail.
Who hosts the site?
Your choice. We recommend hosting that suits your traffic and budget and we set it up with a CDN, caching and backups. If you already have hosting we review it before we build.
How long does a WordPress website take?
Most brochure websites launch four to six weeks after sign off. Larger sites with custom content types, bilingual content or integrations take longer, and the timeline is fixed in the plan before design starts.
