Why WordPress?

The world's most popular CMS, done right

WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet—and for good reason. It's flexible, scalable, and puts you in control of your content.

But there's a difference between a WordPress website and a great WordPress website. We build the latter: custom-designed, performance-optimised, and built to last.

Unlike template-based solutions, our WordPress sites are built from the ground up to match your brand and business requirements. You get a website that's uniquely yours, not a cookie-cutter design with your logo slapped on.

Technology & Standards

Built with modern web standards

Your WordPress website isn't just a design—it's a piece of software that needs to perform, stay secure, and grow with your business.

We follow WordPress coding standards and build with performance in mind from day one. Every website we deliver is responsive (mobile-friendly), accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA compliant), GDPR compliant, and optimised for search engines.

Unlike agencies that rely on bloated page builders like Elementor or Divi, we build lightweight custom themes using the native WordPress block editor. This means faster loading times, better security, and fewer maintenance headaches.

We also set up every site with a solid technical SEO foundation—proper heading hierarchy, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and integration with Google Search Console and Analytics. If you need more advanced SEO work, our dedicated SEO services can help you climb the rankings.

A typical WordPress website takes 6-10 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex sites with custom functionality, e-commerce, or extensive content may take 12-16 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline in your proposal so you know exactly what to expect.
WordPress website costs vary depending on complexity. A professional brochure website typically starts from around £2,000-£4,000, while e-commerce sites and more complex projects range from £4,000-£10,000+. We provide detailed, transparent quotes with no hidden fees. Every project is different, so get in touch for a tailored quote.
Absolutely. WordPress has an intuitive admin interface, and we provide thorough training as part of every project. You'll be able to update content, add blog posts, and make routine changes without any technical knowledge. If you'd rather have us handle updates, our care plans include content changes as part of the service.
No. We build custom themes using the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) with custom blocks where needed. Page builders add significant bloat to your website, slowing it down and creating security vulnerabilities. Our approach results in faster, more secure, and more maintainable websites that score better on Google's Core Web Vitals.
Yes. We can redesign existing WordPress sites, improve performance, add new features, or migrate you to better hosting. If your current site is outdated or underperforming, our website redesign service can transform it. We'll assess your current site and recommend the best approach—sometimes a refresh is enough, other times a rebuild makes more sense.
Every website we build is responsive and mobile-first. With over 60% of web traffic now coming from mobile devices, we design for smaller screens first and scale up. Your site will look and function beautifully on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. We test across all major browsers and devices before launch.
We offer managed WordPress hosting through simontodd.host, optimised for performance and security with daily backups, SSL certificates, and proactive monitoring. Alternatively, we can deploy to your existing hosting or recommend trusted providers. Hosting is billed separately from the website build.
Yes. Every WordPress website includes a solid technical SEO foundation: clean URL structure, proper heading hierarchy, XML sitemaps, schema markup, image optimisation, and Google Analytics integration. For businesses wanting to actively climb the rankings, we also offer dedicated SEO services and a free website audit to assess your current performance.
Yes. Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. Beyond that, we offer care plans that include WordPress core and plugin updates, security monitoring, daily backups, performance checks, and priority support. Think of it as having your own web developer on retainer—you can use your included hours for content updates, new features, or anything else your website needs.
WordPress core is secure and actively maintained by a large team of developers. Security issues typically arise from outdated plugins, weak passwords, or poor hosting. We harden every installation with security best practices: limited login attempts, two-factor authentication, file permission lockdown, and regular security scanning. Our managed hosting includes firewall protection and automatic malware scanning.
