WordPress Design & Development Service

WORDPRESS DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

A WordPress site built
properly — not from a template

Custom WordPress websites designed and built by a working developer. Fast, responsive, SEO-ready, and handed over completely in your name — hosting, domain and licences all owned by you.

Why work with me

A developer, not a page-builder factory

I build and maintain WordPress sites every day. You get someone who knows why a site is slow, why a plugin conflicts, and how to fix it — not a recycled theme demo with your logo dropped on top.

Custom design — no template demo swap
Mobile-first, tested on real devices
Core Web Vitals & speed tuned
Clean on-page SEO from day one
Premium plugins configured properly
Full handover — you own everything

Ongoing care

Keep it running after launch

A website is not a one-time purchase — it needs updates, backups and someone to call. This is the plan most clients stay on.

How it works

From first message to live site

1

Tell me what you need

Fill in the quote form at the bottom of this page. We agree scope and a fixed price up front.

2

Design & build

I build on a staging site you can watch progress on. You review and request changes as it takes shape.

3

Review & refine

Revisions until the layout, copy and mobile view are right — not just “technically delivered”.

4

Launch & hand over

Site goes live on your hosting, in your accounts, with logins and a short walkthrough so you can run it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I actually own the website?

Yes — completely. The site is built on your hosting, your domain and your accounts. At handover you get every login. Nothing is held hostage, and you can walk away or move developer at any time.

What about premium plugin licences?

Any premium plugin or theme your site needs is purchased in your name, on your own account, so the licence belongs to you and updates and support come direct from the vendor. I can buy and set them up for you and include the cost in the quote, or you can buy them yourself and I’ll configure them — your choice.

How long does a build take?

A Starter site is usually about a week, Business around two weeks and a Store roughly three, from the point I have your content. If you need it faster, say so up front and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s realistic.

What do you need from me to start?

Your logo, brand colours if you have them, the text and images for each page, and an example of a site you like the look of. If your content isn’t ready I can build with placeholders and drop the real content in later.

Do you fix existing sites, or only build new ones?

Both. Speed problems, broken layouts, plugin conflicts, failed updates and hacked sites are all things I take on as one-off jobs — see the add-ons above.

How do I pay?

50% to book the work in, 50% on completion before launch. Add-ons and care plans are paid up front. Send an enquiry through the form on this page and I’ll reply with the payment details that suit you.
