Why we build most of our websites on WordPress

WordPress web design is the core of what we do at our studio in Stoke-on-Trent. It powers a huge share of the web for good reason: it’s flexible, it’s easy to edit, and it grows with your business instead of boxing it in.

We build on the Avada theme, which gives us full control over the design while keeping the editing side simple for you. Want to add a new project, change a price or post some news? You can, without ringing a developer every time.

As a WordPress developer, we care about what sits under the bonnet as much as what’s on the screen. Clean structure, sensible plugins, fast loading and proper SEO foundations. It’s the difference between a site that looks good on launch day and one that still works hard for you years later.

WORDPRESS DEVELOPER

A WordPress developer who explains things in plain English

A lot of businesses come to us after a bad experience. A site built by someone who vanished, a theme that broke after an update, or a login they never got given. We do things differently.

You own your website, your domain and your content. You get your logins. And because we look after the hosting and updates for most of our clients, we know the sites we build inside out. If something needs fixing, you speak to the people who built it.

  • Built on Avada, so you can edit pages without breaking the design
  • Only the plugins the site genuinely needs, kept up to date
  • Wireframes signed off before build, so nothing is a surprise
  • Built on a private preview link you can share with your team
  • Walkthrough and written how-to guide at handover
WIX TO WORDPRESS

Moving from Wix to WordPress without losing ground

Wix is a fine place to start, but plenty of businesses outgrow it. When you need more control over SEO, a proper shop, or a site that can scale, WordPress is usually the next step. The move needs care, though, because a careless migration can undo years of search visibility.

Here’s what we look after when we move a site across.

  • A full audit of your current pages, content and images
  • Mapping old addresses to new ones with redirects, so Google and your customers follow you
  • Rebuilding the design properly in Avada, not just copying it
  • Carrying over page titles and descriptions, then improving them
  • Setting up conversion tracking so you can compare before and after
  • Connecting your domain and email carefully, so nothing drops out
  • Hosting on UK servers with Cloudflare protection from day one
HOW IT WORKS

From first chat to a live WordPress site

01 Listen

We look at competitors and what people search for, then plan the pages around it.

03 Wireframe

You sign off the layout of every page before we start building.

04 Build on a private preview

We build the site on a private link, and you review it before anything goes live.

05 Launch and aftercare

We launch, walk you through it and give you 30 days of free tweaks and fixes.
