Latest insights
Questions
A few of the most common ones are below. For the full list — pricing, ownership, hosting and more — see the FAQ page, or just ask us directly.
A WordPress development agency plans, builds and maintains websites on the WordPress platform. That covers custom theme and block development, WooCommerce stores, plugin development, third-party integrations, performance and security work, and ongoing maintenance after launch. Unlike a template setup, agency work is built around your specific content model, business rules and growth plans.
WordPress is the content management system; WooCommerce is an e-commerce plugin that runs on top of it. WordPress development covers content structure, templates and publishing workflows. WooCommerce development adds products, carts, checkout, payments, tax, shipping and order management — plus the performance work that larger catalogues and logged-in traffic demand.
Yes. We rebuild and validate the site on a staging environment first, map every existing URL to its new destination, and set up 301 redirects before launch. Content, media and SEO metadata are migrated and verified, then DNS is switched during a low-traffic window so visitors never hit a broken or missing page.
We start with a measured audit rather than guesswork, using field data alongside lab testing. Typical work includes reducing render-blocking CSS and JavaScript, optimising and lazy-loading images, adding object and full-page caching, tuning the database, and cutting unnecessary plugins. The targets are LCP, INP and CLS, because those are what Google actually measures.
Yes. When existing plugins do not fit — or add more weight than value — we build purpose-made plugins for your workflows and integrations. They follow WordPress Coding Standards, use core APIs and hooks rather than hacks, and are documented so any competent WordPress developer can maintain them later.
Launch is a milestone, not the end of the engagement. Ongoing care covers core, theme and plugin updates, uptime and security monitoring, automated backups, and a support channel for issues and small changes. We also review analytics and performance regularly so the site keeps improving instead of quietly degrading.
Timelines depend on the number of templates, the amount of custom functionality and how quickly content and feedback arrive. We scope every project into the six stages shown above — discovery, strategy, development, testing, launch and support — and give you a dated milestone plan before work starts, so you know what lands when.
Cost is driven by scope: the number of unique templates, the complexity of any commerce or integration work, and whether you need content migration. We quote a fixed price after a discovery call rather than an hourly estimate, so there are no surprises mid-project. Send us your requirements and we will come back with a written proposal.
