  • Custom plugins and integrations
  • Moves to and from WordPress

WordPress services

Everything WordPress, minus the plugin pile.

  • Custom themes

    A theme built for your site and nothing else, on the block editor, so your team can edit pages without breaking the layout.

  • WooCommerce shops

    Products, checkout and shipping set up around how you actually sell, with only the extensions you need.

  • Rescues and rebuilds

    Slow, hacked or tangled sites cleaned up, or rebuilt on a lean theme while keeping your content and rankings.

  • Plugins written properly

    When no plugin does what you need, we write one: tested, documented and kept to the WordPress coding standards.

Our approach

Lean WordPress is fast WordPress.

Most slow WordPress sites aren’t slow because of WordPress. They’re slow because of a heavy theme, a page builder and twenty plugins each doing one small job. We keep the moving parts to a minimum, so the site loads quickly, has fewer things to patch and costs less to look after.

  • Few, well-chosen plugins

    Every plugin is one more thing to update. We only add the ones that earn their place.

  • Safe, simple editing

    Block patterns and custom fields that match your design, so edits look right first time.

  • Ready to be found

    Clean markup, quick pages and structured data, so SEO starts from a solid base.

How a WordPress project runs

  1. Review or scope

    We look at what you have, or plan what you need, and fix a price.

  2. Build

    A custom theme on a staging site you can click through.

  3. Move content

    Pages, posts and redirects carried over carefully.

  4. Launch & care

    A smooth launch, then updates and backups on a care plan.

WordPress FAQs

Questions we get asked.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?

No. We build custom themes on the WordPress block editor, which keeps pages fast and stops the layout breaking when you edit. If your current site uses a page builder, we can rebuild it without one.

Can you fix our existing WordPress site?

Yes. We start by reviewing the theme, plugins and hosting, then fix the worst problems first, whether that’s speed, security, a broken feature or updates that keep failing.

Can you build a WooCommerce shop?

Yes. We set up WooCommerce with your products, payments and shipping, and keep extensions to the ones you need, so the shop stays quick and easy to update.

Who looks after the site once it’s live?

We can, on one of our WordPress maintenance and hosting plans, or we hand it over to your team with notes. Either way, the site is yours.
