The problem

Why businesses outgrow a single WordPress developer

Plenty of WordPress sites are built by one freelancer. That works until they get busy, move on or stop answering. Then a plugin update breaks the checkout, the site slows down, or you need a new integration and nobody knows how the site was put together. Working with a WordPress agency means your site is documented, backed up and known by more than one person.

WooCommerce development

As WooCommerce developers, we build stores that hold up under real trading: large catalogues, stock that syncs with your accounting or ERP system, and checkouts that load quickly on mobile. If your current store is slow or unreliable, we find out why, whether it's hosting, plugins or the way the store was built, and fix the cause rather than the symptom. If Shopify would serve you better, we'll say so. And if you're moving an existing store onto WooCommerce, we handle the full migration too.

FAQs

WordPress FAQs

Should we hire a WordPress developer or a WordPress agency?
A freelance developer can be fine for a small, one-off task. For a business-critical site or a WooCommerce store, an agency gives you design, development and support from a team, so you're not relying on one person.
Can you take over our existing WordPress site?
Yes. We start with an audit of the theme, plugins, hosting and backups, then tell you what needs fixing before we change anything.
Do you use Elementor or custom themes?
Both. Elementor suits teams that want to edit layouts themselves. A custom theme suits sites that need tighter control, more speed or complex content. We recommend one based on how you'll use the site.
Can you build custom WordPress plugins?
Yes. We build plugins for integrations such as ERP stock syncing, booking platforms and recruitment systems when existing plugins don't do the job.
Do you work on existing WooCommerce stores?
Yes. As well as building new stores, our WooCommerce developers fix, speed up and extend existing ones.
Our site is slow. Can you fix it?
Usually. Slow sites tend to come down to hosting, heavy plugins, large images or poor caching. We find the cause and fix it.
What's included in WordPress maintenance?
Updates, backups, security checks and a set amount of time each month for changes, depending on the plan.
