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.

FAQ

Common questions about WordPress

How long does a WordPress website take to build?

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.

Will I be able to update the website myself?

Absolutely. WordPress has an intuitive admin interface, and we provide thorough training. You'll be able to update content, add blog posts, and make routine changes without any technical knowledge.

Do you use page builders like Elementor?

We build custom themes using the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) with custom blocks where needed. This approach results in faster, more secure, and more maintainable websites than page builder solutions.

Can you work with my existing WordPress site?

Yes. We can redesign existing WordPress sites, improve performance, add new features, or migrate you to better hosting. We'll assess your current site and recommend the best approach.

What about hosting?

We offer managed WordPress hosting through simontodd.host, optimised for performance and security. Alternatively, we can deploy to your existing hosting or recommend trusted providers.

Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes. We offer maintenance packages that include security updates, plugin management, backups, performance monitoring, and priority support. Learn more about maintenance.
