How is the price worked out?

After discovery I send a fixed-price proposal covering templates, components, assumptions and timeline. Custom builds start from £5,000. Smaller improvements to an existing theme are priced separately.

Will my team be able to edit the site?

Yes. Content sits in structured fields and reusable components, and the handover includes documentation written for the people who will edit the site.

What makes the site easier to maintain?

A small set of documented components instead of one-off page layouts, plugins chosen for a reason, and code kept in version control. That keeps future changes smaller and safer.

Can you build from our designer's or agency's designs?

Yes. I regularly build from designs supplied by a designer or agency, and I can work white-label for agencies.

Yes. You own the theme code and all assets, with full access and documentation.

What happens after launch?

You get a handover and documentation. If you want updates and small changes handled every month, an Aftercare plan picks up from there.

Custom WordPress Development

Custom WordPress development for growing UK businesses.

When your website is difficult to maintain or your team has outgrown its templates, I build a cleaner WordPress foundation using flexible content structures, reusable components and well-documented code. The aim is a site your team can confidently manage after launch.

Who it is for

The site is hard to edit.

Every change needs a developer or a workaround, and the team avoids touching important pages.

Your team has outgrown its templates.

New pages, campaigns and content types no longer fit the structure the site was built on.

You need a design implemented properly.

Established service brands and content-rich teams with a design that has to work on every device.
