WordPress development overview
We treat WordPress as a core CMS and application platform – with proper architecture, performance, security and a roadmap – rather than a collection of random plugins.
If your current WordPress setup is fragile or slow, we can start with an audit and stabilisation phase before adding new features or redesigns.

2–4 weeks
Migrate or create content, test across devices, refine performance (caching, images, queries) and harden security and backups.

Contact our expertsWe work on custom corporate and marketing sites, content-heavy blogs, WooCommerce stores, membership portals and headless WordPress setups that power modern React or Next.js frontends. We are usually involved when WordPress is a core part of your marketing or product stack, not just a small brochure site.
We do both. Many engagements start with an audit of an existing WordPress site that is slow, fragile or difficult to update. We stabilise the site first – cleaning up plugins, improving performance and hardening security – then plan redesigns, structural changes or migrations as needed.
We are conservative with plugins and avoid installing tools for every small feature. Instead, we rely on a curated set of well-supported plugins and write custom code where it is safer and clearer. We also use child themes, staging environments and version control so changes are traceable and reversible.
Yes. We can migrate from older CMS platforms, custom-built sites or previous WordPress installs. This usually includes mapping content types, migrating posts and pages, handling redirects to protect SEO, and ensuring that existing URLs and key pages are preserved or redirected correctly.
We regularly implement WooCommerce for stores, subscriptions and memberships. We configure products, variations, shipping, taxes and payment gateways, and integrate WooCommerce with CRMs, ERPs or accounting systems where required. Performance and security are treated as first-class requirements for e-commerce projects.
Headless WordPress means using WordPress primarily as a content management backend and delivering content via APIs to a separate frontend, such as a Next.js site. It can be a good fit when you need very high performance, custom front-end experiences, or a unified stack for web apps and sites, while editors still enjoy WordPress workflows.
We apply a combination of hardening steps (secure configuration, limited admin access, strong authentication), regular updates for core, themes and plugins, and scheduled backups. For ongoing engagements we also monitor for vulnerabilities, log suspicious activity and ensure updates are tested before going to production.
Yes. We pay attention to technical SEO basics (clean HTML structure, sensible meta tags, schema where appropriate, XML sitemaps, redirects) and performance (caching, image optimisation, minimal render-blocking resources). We also keep Core Web Vitals in mind and can coordinate with your SEO team for deeper campaigns.
A focused marketing site or smaller blog can often be delivered in 4–8 weeks once requirements and designs are agreed. More complex projects – multi-language sites, WooCommerce stores or headless builds – typically take longer and are planned in phases for safer delivery and easier content migration.
We can work with your existing hosting or recommend a suitable provider. After launch, many clients choose a maintenance or AMC plan where we handle updates, security, small improvements and support so your internal team can focus on content and marketing, not infrastructure.
You can contact us with your current site URL, goals and any specific pain points, or book a short discovery call. We will review your situation, suggest whether to stabilise, improve or rebuild, and share a practical plan with timelines and budget ranges.
