In short

Why choose a WordPress agency for a custom build?

A WordPress agency that builds custom themes gives you a site your team can edit in the familiar WordPress editor, without the slow page builders and plugin piles that cause most WordPress problems. You get the flexibility of WordPress and WooCommerce with the speed and security of a hand-built site.

We build custom WordPress sites with bespoke themes and blocks, so your team can edit pages without breaking the design. Every build is fixed-scope, shown in weekly demos, and handed over with code you own outright.

Who it’s for

Businesses that want a WordPress site they can manage in-house, without the bloat of an off-the-shelf theme.

Capabilities

What WordPress Builds covers.

01

Custom themes

A theme built for your brand and content, not a marketplace template bent into shape.

02

Custom blocks

Editor blocks designed around your content, so pages stay on-brand whoever edits them.

03

Speed & security

Lean code, a sensible plugin list and tested updates, so the site stays fast and patched.

04

Migration & content

Moving from an old site handled carefully, with redirects in place so existing traffic is not lost.

05

Managed WordPress hosting

Hosted on our managed infrastructure, with hosting and care included for the first three months.

Process

No quotes theatre. Four steps.

You get an indicative range before discovery and a fixed scope after it. Nothing about the price should be a surprise.

STEP 01

Discovery

A short, fixed-price discovery to define exactly what is being built — so there are no surprises later.

STEP 02

Fixed-scope proposal

A clear proposal broken down by phase, with an indicative range up front. You approve, adjust or stage it.

STEP 03

Build in sprints

We build in short sprints with regular demos, so you see working software early — not a big reveal in month four.

STEP 04

Launch & support

We launch, hand over clean documented code, and support it — with a retained team if you want one.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Ask us directly
Will we be able to edit the site ourselves?

Yes. We build custom blocks for each type of content, so your team can add pages, swap images and publish posts in the normal WordPress editor without breaking the layout. We train your team at handover and give you short written guides.

Do you use page builders or premium themes?

No. Page builders like Elementor or Divi and big premium themes load code your site doesn't need and add security risk. We build a lightweight custom theme with native WordPress blocks, which keeps the site fast and simple to maintain.

How much does a custom WordPress website cost?

Custom WordPress sites start from £2,400 for a small business site. WooCommerce stores start from £3,800. You get a fixed quote after a free audit, and the price doesn't change unless you change the scope.

Are you WooCommerce developers too?

Yes. We build and extend WooCommerce stores: custom product types, checkout changes, payment and shipping set-up, and integrations with stock, accounting and CRM systems.

Can you move my site to WordPress from Wix or Squarespace?

Yes. We migrate your pages, posts and images, map every old URL to its new home and set up 301 redirects, so you keep the Google rankings you already have.

Can you host and look after the site?

Yes. Managed WordPress hosting and care plans from £85 a month cover hosting, updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. Three months of care are included after launch.

Is WordPress secure?

WordPress itself is secure when it's kept up to date. Most hacks come through out-of-date plugins and weak passwords. We keep plugins to a minimum, apply tested updates and monitor the site, which removes most of the risk.
