CUSTOM WORDPRESS DEVELOPMENT
We’re based in London and Surrey, but the WordPress sites we build run across the UK and often further. The people who hire us, scale-up founders, brand leaders, enterprise teams, already know a standard theme won’t cut it. They need something faster, tougher, and built with growth in mind.
We don’t ship template sites. We design platforms that cut bottlenecks, make content easier to manage, and give marketing teams real control. Sometimes that’s a single high-converting site. Other times it’s a network of sites stitched together. Either way, success isn’t measured on launch day, it’s whether the site is still pulling its weight years later.
WHAT DRIVE US AT OUR WORDPRESS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
What Success Looks Like
A WordPress site should be quick, simple to run, and built to convert. Success isn’t a glossy launch, it’s more leads, stronger search rankings, and a platform that doesn’t buckle when you grow.
Whether you’re scaling, rebranding, or juggling multiple markets, we design and develop sites that actually work, not just look good on a pitch deck.
Problems We Solve
Most teams come to us with a site that looks fine but crawls, breaks, or locks them out of making changes. Others are paying for traffic that never turns into sales.
We cut through the mess. That could mean ripping out bad plugins, fixing clunky UX, or rebuilding the structure so search engines can do their job. The result: a site that works commercially, not just technically.
We Optimise
Going live isn’t the finish line. Plugins clash, SEO drifts, pages slow down. We stay on top of it. If something tanks, we fix it.
And as your business changes, the site changes too. New features, easier editing, smoother user journeys. A site should pull its weight over time, not sit there ageing badly.

CUSTOM WORDPRESS THEMES
What We Build
Marketing websites: Most brochure sites sit pretty and do nothing. We build WordPress websites that bring in leads, tell your story clearly, and let your team run content without wrestling with plugins.
E-commerce platforms: WooCommerce stores done properly. Fast, mobile-first, and built to convert. Clean journeys, checkouts that don’t leak sales, and the flexibility to grow your catalogue when you need to.
Global & multilingual sites: If you’re expanding markets, you’ll need more than Google Translate. We create WordPress development estates that handle languages, currencies, and SEO without breaking workflows for local teams.
Customer portals & dashboards: Sometimes a site needs to do more than marketing. We’ve built secure portals with API integration, custom workflows, and reporting that cuts admin. WordPress, but pushed further.
Headless WordPress setups: When speed and design freedom matter, we decouple. WordPress manages content; the front end runs on modern frameworks. The result: faster sites, tighter design control, and a stack built for scale.

How We Deliver It
Strategy before screens: We don’t dive into wireframes for the sake of it. First, we dig into your goals, your users, and the sticking points that cost you time or money. Only then do we map the journeys worth building.
Built to last: No bloated themes. No plugin soup. We build lean, secure sites that scale without falling apart when traffic spikes or your team grows.
Design with intent: Pretty isn’t the brief. We design so the site feels obvious to use, carries your brand properly, and nudges users towards action without friction.
Search ready: SEO isn’t an add-on. We build with speed, structure, and schema baked in, so Google sees the site clearly, and your customers find it fast.
In it for the long run: Launch day isn’t the finish. Things break, markets shift, teams change. We stick around, updating, refining, and improving so your site keeps earning its place.
CREATING THAT PERFECT WEBSITE
Our Point of View on WordPress
Not a silver bullet: WordPress isn’t magic. Out of the box it’s messy, heavy themes, clunky plugins, security holes. We see it every week.
The difference is in the build: Done properly, it’s lean, fast, and safe. Done badly, it’s a headache that costs more to fix later.
Outcomes over opinions: We don’t waste time debating tabs vs sliders. The only question is: does it help you win customers or scale without breaking?
Built for big and small: From a single site for a scale-up to a multi-country estate, WordPress can handle it, if it’s engineered right.
Pragmatic, not precious: We don’t treat WordPress like a religion. We use it because it delivers. If another platform was better for your business, we’d say so.
FAQs
Frequent questions our WordPress agency gets asked before we are hired
What makes you different?
We’re a WordPress development company that builds for outcomes, not vanity. Our focus is on clean code, sharp web design, and custom WordPress development that supports growth. Where a typical WordPress development agency leans on templates, we create lean, secure systems that give your business a measurable advantage. It’s not just about a new site, it’s about a platform that earns its place on your balance sheet.
Can you handle enterprise scale?
Yes. We’ve delivered WordPress development services for enterprise level clients where security, performance, and governance can’t be compromised. That means multilingual content, API integration, complex workflows, and large user volumes. WordPress can scale, but only if it’s engineered properly. We apply proper project management, test at enterprise standards, and ensure your platform runs reliably across markets, because downtime isn’t an option when you operate at scale.
Do you build custom themes?
Always. Our team specialises in custom WordPress theme development, no bloated off-the-shelf templates. Every theme is built around your visual identity, your workflows, and your growth plans. That means faster load times, easier content editing, and stronger visibility in search engines. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter sites. A custom WordPress theme should give you control, flexibility, and the confidence to evolve without breaking.
What about plugins?
Plugins are powerful but risky. Many WordPress plugins slow down performance or create security gaps. We focus on trusted premium plugins and step in with custom WordPress plugin development when you need something unique. Whether it’s booking systems, dashboards, or integrations, we handle plugin development in-house. That way, your site stays fast, secure, and aligned with your business processes, without piling on unnecessary extras that create technical debt later.
Do you work with existing sites?
Yes. A lot of our work starts with an existing website that isn’t doing its job. Sometimes the design is dated, sometimes the code is bloated, sometimes the CMS is just painful to use. We’ll review your current website, strip out the bloat, and improve speed, security, and usability. If your existing site can be salvaged, we’ll refine it. If it can’t, we’ll rebuild with a custom WordPress approach that fixes the root problems.
How long does a build take?
It depends on scope. A simple site with basic WordPress services can be delivered in 4-6 weeks. Larger builds with multiple integrations or custom themes take longer with the average being around 12 weeks. We’ll provide a detailed proposal upfront, with clear milestones and a realistic timeline. Our development agency model means we run the whole process, discovery, design and development, testing, and launch, with full visibility, so there are no surprises.
Do you offer SEO?
Yes. Our SEO services go beyond meta tags. We handle keyword research, site structure, and performance optimisation as part of every build. We make sure your WordPress website design is search-friendly from day one, so it can be properly indexed by search engines. That includes schema, fast load times, and smart internal linking. SEO isn’t a bolt-on, it’s part of building high-performance business websites that bring in traffic and convert.
Can you design too?
Absolutely. We’re not just developers, we’re web designers as well. Every project blends website design and build, so your brand looks sharp and performs commercially. From custom websites to business websites, our design process is about clarity and outcomes, not decoration. We focus on UX that makes it easy for customers to act and content teams to manage. The result: a WordPress web presence that feels right and works hard.
Do you build ecommerce sites?
Yes. We’ve built ecommerce stores on WooCommerce and custom store setups for scale-ups and established brands. A good store isn’t just a catalogue, it’s a sales machine. We map journeys, streamline checkout, and integrate with stock or payment systems as needed. Our wordpress development services ensure your e-commerce site is fast, secure, and built for growth. If it doesn’t improve conversions, it’s not ready to launch.
Do you support after launch?
Yes. Too many agencies vanish once the site is live, we don’t. WordPress changes fast, plugins break, security patches roll out, and businesses grow. We stay involved with WordPress support and ongoing development so your site keeps earning its keep. Some months that means fixing bugs, other months it’s rolling out new features. The point is simple: we’re in it for the long haul, not just the handover.
Is everything bespoke?
Yes. Every site we build is completely bespoke. No recycled templates, no shortcuts. We design custom WordPress themes, handle custom plugin development, and keep the build lean so it runs fast. A proper custom WordPress development project should fit your workflows and your audience, not the other way round. It’s more effort, but it means you end up with a platform that’s genuinely yours, built to last, not patched together.
How experienced is your team?
We’ve got over a decade working on WordPress websites of all shapes and sizes, from smaller projects to award-winning websites for global brands. Along the way we’ve built serious technical expertise in web development, security, API integration, and performance optimisation. We run the whole process: discovery, design, build, and ongoing support. And because we’ve seen plenty of badly built sites, we know the traps to avoid and how to do it properly.
We are so pleased with the design and vibe of our new site, it’s been a great experience to work with you all and helping us capture our TwoChics vibe into a beautiful site! I wanted to particularly thank you for organising everything, dealing with all of our requests and ensuring this was a smooth experience.
