Frequently Asked Questions
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that makes it easy to manage a website’s content without needing to know how to code. While it started as a blogging platform, it has evolved into a powerful tool that powers over 40% of websites worldwide. When done well, WordPress allows content, images, and page layouts to be easily updated through a modular, user-friendly and predictable interface. Adding new pages, adjusting layouts, and managing existing content can be done effortlessly, making it an ideal solution for businesses that need control and flexibility over their online presence.
WordPress is my preferred tool to build custom websites tailored to businesses, organisations, and charities. Beyond the CMS experience itself it’s a flexible and extensible platform that can easily incorporate custom integrations and functionality. With WordPress I’ve built eCommerce sites, membership portals, and even used it headlessly as the CMS for a mobile app.
If you need a professionally built WordPress site that’s easy to manage and can evolve with your business, get in touch.
Yes! My experience working in agencies & contracting means I have been enlisted to save problematic WordPress websites on many occasions. If your site is built in WordPress already, the first step would be to give your site a full technical audit and help to define your most pragmatic next steps forward. Each site is different, so please do get in touch and we can explore how I can help you.
Yes. I offer a range of options for website maintenance, including sites I did not originally build. This includes plugin updates, ad hoc fixes, and general support and advice. I’m happy to work on a retainer basis with a pool of hours per month if you foresee yourself having ongoing development work and want to spread the cost of development work over a longer period of time.
I build bespoke, high quality WordPress sites that are performant both in terms of SEO and page speed. These sites are totally customised to your needs and carefully custom built. I do not offer ‘off-the-shelf’ websites using prebuilt page-builder style tools. My goal is to make professional, agency-standard websites more attainable for businesses without the high costs that are often involved.
A site will generally start at a minimum of £1500-£2000, excluding design.
I offer significant discounts for charities and good causes.
