custom wordpress development
If we're honest there's not one single web design project we get involved with that doesn't involved some custom development. Whether it's adjusting the padding round an image or introducing different font styles and colours we're always customising something on a web design project.
Our web developers have many years of experience in creating bespoke and unique solutions to match and exceed our customers' needs. Our team is highly skilled in HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and PHP and use this knowledge to create solutions that are accessible to users and easy to use for you.
Wordpress is the platform we have chosen to use for our website design. We have become Wordpress Experts and can build themes and plugins from scratch or custom develop existing assets. If you have a specific project in mind give us a challenge.

all aspects of web development
There's two main areas of web development, front and and back end. Front end web development is all about what the user sees and their experience on the site. The back end of a website is the bit behind the scenes that makes everything work.
There is two stages to our front end development work, design and development and testing. In the design and development phase we will consult with you to understand your specific requirements and those of the end user. When we have completed the development we thoroughly test on different browsers and screen sizes (phone, tablet and laptop).
When we have finished the front end work we do the necessary work behind the scenes. This can involve editing and modifying the database as necessary and managing any integrations such as contact forms.
understanding your wordpess development needs
If we're going to develop a wordpress website that meets your business aims then we need to do some research. We need to understand what your business goals are, who your customers are, what they want, who is your competition and the area you operate in.
Every business and market place is different, it would be easy to assume that every builder just build new houses, but the reality is that most don't build new houses; they build walls, they convert garages and they convert lofts! We have a large amount of experience of different industries which helps when understanding your business.
wordpress theme and plugin development
The vast majority of web projects we are involved in use Wordpress. It is estimated that Wordpress now is behind nearly 30% of websites across the world, due to its versatility and usability. We have become vastly experienced in building and customising Wordpress themes and plugins.
This website is built is in Wordpress and uses a theme which is created in rows and columns giving us a blank canvas to build from. Although most of the elements we have used on the site are pretty standard, there's very few elements we haven't customised in some way.
It is our ability as developers to work on a site and create something that is seamless from a users perspective that makes our work stand out.

website migrations
A large number of sites we optimise are built using other platforms. We often rebuild the site using wordpress in order to create a site that has a hierarchy and structure which is more user and search engine friendly. In these cases we have to migrate from the old website to the new one.
We have amassed a large amount of knowledge and experience in doing this ensuring a smooth and painless transfer. One of the key aspects to this work is in the planning, we plan every element of the migration and ensure that nothing is missed along the way.
Another migration that we are becoming increasingly involved in is the change to https. It is now estimated that 45% of websites on page 1 of Google are https, up from 12% in 2015. This is something that will send an important signal to your customers that we can manage for you.
