Custom WordPress Website

Design & Development

Yes. Every site includes a WordPress training session and a configured admin panel that lets you update pages, publish blog posts and manage images without needing us. The CMS is set up specifically around how your team works.

A standard brochure site (5–8 pages) takes 4–6 weeks from briefing to launch. Larger builds with blog functionality, integrations or ecommerce typically run 8–12 weeks. We work in structured sprints with weekly check-ins so you always know where your project stands.

A briefing call, your existing branding (logo, fonts, colours) and any copy or imagery you already have. We'll guide you through a detailed brief form after the initial call. If you need copywriting or photography, we can recommend trusted partners.

Yes. After the included post-launch window, our WordPress Care Plans from £150/month cover core updates, plugin updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring and direct developer support. A plan can be added at any time.

Custom WordPress websites start from £1,800 for a 5-page Starter build. Business builds (up to 15 pages with blog) start from £3,500. Enterprise builds with custom integrations, member portals or multilingual functionality start from £6,000. All prices are fixed — quoted in writing after a free 30-minute discovery call, with a written proposal delivered within 24 hours.

A template is a pre-built design used by thousands of other sites — your competitors included. A custom WordPress site is designed from scratch in Figma specifically for your brand, audience and conversion goals. Beyond aesthetics, custom sites load faster (no unused CSS or bloated plugin dependencies), rank better (clean semantic HTML and schema markup built in) and are easier to maintain and extend. Templates are cheaper upfront; custom is cheaper over three to five years.

Fixed price — always. We don't do hourly billing or day rates. Every project has a written specification and a single agreed price before work begins. If something is in scope, it's in the price. The only time a price changes is if you add significant new requirements after the specification has been approved — in which case we quote the addition separately before doing any work.

It will rank if the SEO foundation is built correctly. Every WPDA site includes clean semantic HTML, structured data schema, Open Graph tags, XML sitemaps, proper canonical setup, Core Web Vitals performance targets and an SEO-structured page template. These are built in from day one, not added as afterthoughts. For businesses that want to actively grow organic rankings month-on-month, we also offer ongoing WordPress SEO from £600/month.

Yes. The majority of UK web traffic is on mobile devices — Google uses your mobile site to determine your rankings. Every WPDA site is designed mobile-first in Figma, tested on real devices (not just browser emulators) and built to score 90+ on PageSpeed Insights on mobile. Text is readable without zooming, tap targets are sized correctly and no content requires horizontal scrolling.

For most UK businesses, we recommend Kinsta, WP Engine or Cloudways — managed WordPress hosts with built-in caching, CDN, staging environments and UK data centres. We don't take affiliate commissions, so the recommendations are purely based on reliability and performance. We help you set up hosting before the project begins — it's included in the discovery call, not an extra charge.

Yes. Blog and news sections are included in Business and Enterprise packages as standard. We set up categories, tags, author profiles, featured images and an SEO-structured archive layout — everything Google needs to crawl and index your content efficiently. If you want to publish content yourself, we train you on the WordPress editor during the handover session.

Yes. Every site is built to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as a minimum: sufficient colour contrast, keyboard-navigable layout, meaningful alt text on images, properly labelled form fields and logical heading hierarchy. For public sector clients or regulated businesses with stricter requirements, we scope to WCAG 2.2 AA. Accessible code is also cleaner code — it benefits your SEO as much as your users.

30 days of included post-launch support: bug fixes, content amendments, go-live issues and performance monitoring. After 30 days, you can manage the site independently or add a WordPress Care Plan from £150/month for ongoing updates, security monitoring, backups and developer support. We also provide full CMS documentation and a training session so your team can manage content without needing to call us every time.

Yes. Redesigning an existing WordPress site is one of our most common projects — we start with a full technical and UX audit, benchmark your current rankings and PageSpeed scores, then redesign and rebuild with all SEO equity preserved. Redesigns start from £1,200 for a Starter project. The audit is free — book a 30-minute call and we'll run it live on the call before you commit to anything.
