Your WordPress site, modernised.

WordPress runs a huge share of the web, and most of those sites are slower, older and harder to edit than they need to be. We redesign and rebuild them so they load fast, look current and are easy for your team to update.

It's time to modernise if

  • Pages take more than a few seconds to load on a phone
  • A page builder theme you're afraid to touch, or one that's no longer updated
  • Dozens of plugins, some doing the same job
  • The design looks like it did five years ago
  • Editing a page means calling a developer
  • You don't show up when people ask ChatGPT or Google about what you do

What we do on WordPress.

Redesign

A new design for the pages that matter, planned around what your customers search for and what you want them to do.

Custom theme

A lean theme built for your site, with the block editor (Gutenberg) and reusable blocks, instead of a heavy multipurpose theme.

Page builder clean-up

Move off Elementor, Divi or WPBakery layouts to native blocks, so pages are faster and editing doesn't break the design.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

Fewer plugins, optimised images and fonts, and templates built to pass Google's speed checks on a phone.

Headless WordPress

Keep WordPress as the editor and run the front end on Next.js, when you need speed and flexibility at scale.

AI search setup

Clear page structure, schema markup and the facts AI assistants need to describe and cite you.

Honest advice

Stay on WordPress, or move?

Most businesses should stay on WordPress. You keep your content, your team knows the editor and the plugins you rely on keep working. A modern theme and fewer plugins fix most problems. We'd suggest moving only when the site is mostly a simple marketing site that would be easier to run on Webflow or Framer, or when you need a custom front end and WordPress works better as a headless editor.

Before you hire us.

What to know, and what we'll ask you for.

  1. 01We'll ask for access

    An admin login, hosting or staging access and Google Analytics and Search Console. We work on a copy of your site, never on the live one.

  2. 02We audit first

    Before quoting a rebuild we review your theme, plugins, speed and rankings, so you know what's worth keeping.

  3. 03Your content comes with you

    Posts, pages, products and media move across. We map every old address to a new one so you don't lose rankings.

  4. 04Your host stays your host

    We can recommend good WordPress hosting, but we don't sell it. If your host is the reason the site is slow, we'll tell you.

  5. 05Upkeep stays with your developer

    Plugin and core updates, backups and security monitoring after launch stay with your host or developer.

Checked before every launch

  • Every old address redirected to its new page, so you keep your Google rankings
  • Speed checked on a phone on every template
  • Titles, descriptions, schema markup and a sitemap
  • Analytics, consent and Search Console connected
  • A walkthrough so your team can edit it with confidence

What we don't do

We design, modernise and rebuild. We don't sell hosting or maintenance plans: once you're live, plugin and platform updates, backups and hosting stay with your host or developer, and we hand everything over properly. If you want design help every month after launch, that's a retainer.

From kickoff to launch.

  1. 01Kickoff call

    Thirty minutes on your goals, your customers and what the site must do.

  2. 02Round 1

    Page structure and the first designs, built on what your customers search for.

  3. 03Your review

    Comment right on the designs. Nothing goes live without your OK.

  4. 04Round 2

    We refine, then build it, with speed and search checked on every page.

  5. 05Launch

    We go live, connect analytics and Search Console, and start tracking.

Questions, answered.

Do you do WordPress maintenance plans?

No. We're a design and modernisation studio. We redesign, rebuild and hand over a clean, documented site; updates, backups and hosting stay with your host or developer. For ongoing design work, there's a retainer.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if the move is done properly. We keep your best pages, redirect every old address to its new page and check Search Console after launch.

Can you work with my existing theme?

Sometimes. If the theme is current and well built, a refresh is cheaper. If it's an old page builder theme, rebuilding it usually costs less over time than patching it.

Do you build with Elementor or Divi?

We build with the block editor and a custom theme, which is faster and easier to edit. We can move your existing page builder layouts across.

Can you add WooCommerce?

Yes, for smaller stores. If selling online is the main job of the site, we'll talk through whether Shopify is a better fit before you commit.
