WordPress Development & Optimisation
We build and improve WordPress websites for small and mid-sized businesses: custom themes and Gutenberg blocks, plugin development, WooCommerce, Core Web Vitals speed work, security hardening, migrations and ongoing maintenance.
What WordPress services do we offer?
- Custom themes and blocks: lightweight themes and Gutenberg blocks that make editing simple and keep pages fast.
- Plugin development: custom plugins for business logic, integrations and admin tools, built to WordPress coding standards.
- WooCommerce: store setup, custom features and integrations.
- Speed optimisation: Core Web Vitals improvements through caching, image optimisation, script clean-up and hosting changes.
- Security hardening: updates, plugin reviews, login protection, firewall rules and backups.
- Migrations: moving hosts or moving to WordPress from another CMS, with redirects to protect rankings.
- Maintenance plans: regular updates, uptime monitoring, backups and small changes.
Why is my WordPress site slow, and how can it be fixed?
Slow WordPress sites are usually caused by heavy page builders, too many plugins, unoptimised images, render-blocking scripts or under-powered hosting. We measure with PageSpeed Insights and real-user data, fix the biggest causes first and confirm improvements in Core Web Vitals.
How does the process work?
- Review: we check your current site, plugins, hosting and goals.
- Plan: a written scope for a new build, fixes or ongoing care.
- Build or fix: on a staging site, so your live site is never at risk.
- Test and launch: speed, forms, SEO and mobile checks before go-live.
- Maintain: optional monthly care to keep everything updated and secure.
Who is this for?
Small businesses, nonprofits, publishers and agencies that rely on WordPress and want a faster, safer and easier-to-edit website. If your site is outgrowing WordPress, we can also advise on headless CMS options.

WordPress Development & Optimisation: FAQs
How can I make my WordPress website faster?
Start by removing unused plugins, optimising images, enabling caching and reducing heavy scripts from page builders and third-party tools. Good hosting and a lightweight theme also make a large difference; an audit shows which fixes matter most for your site.
Is WordPress secure enough for a business website?
Yes, when it is maintained properly. Most WordPress security problems come from outdated plugins, weak passwords and abandoned themes, so regular updates, careful plugin choice, firewalls and backups keep the risk low.
Can you take over maintenance of our existing WordPress site?
Yes. We start with a review of your plugins, theme, hosting and backups, fix any urgent issues, then keep the site updated and monitored on a monthly plan.
Do you build custom Gutenberg blocks?
Yes. We build custom blocks and block patterns so your team can create pages from approved components, keeping the design consistent and the pages fast.
