WordPress Development · London

WordPress development in London — fast, SEO-ready, built to last.

Built by someone who actually understands SEO, not just page layout. New builds, full rebuilds, and surgical fixes for sites that look fine but rank nowhere.

Built for speed and search from day one. No page-builder bloat.

WordPress, done properly

  • Fast, Core Web Vitals-ready out of the box
  • SEO baked in, not bolted on after
  • Real prices on the page — no vague quotes
  • One person doing the build, not a junior
Sound familiar?

If you've been through a bad WordPress build, you know the signs.

01

"The site is so slow"

Heavy theme, 12 plugins, page speed in the red. Google notices, visitors notice, you lose both.

02

"It looks fine but doesn't rank"

Pretty homepage, zero SEO foundations. No schema, no internal linking, no plan from the start.

03

"I can't edit anything without breaking it"

Custom-coded by an agency that's now hard to reach. Every change is a hostage situation.

What I build

Three kinds of WordPress work — pick the one that fits

Whether you need a new site, a rebuild that doesn't lose your rankings, or surgical fixes to what you already have.

Pillar 01

New Builds

A WordPress site from scratch, built on Elementor or a clean custom setup. SEO foundations from day one, not retrofitted later.

  • Discovery + sitemap planning
  • Mobile-first responsive build
  • On-page SEO done while building
  • Speed-optimised by default
Pillar 02

Rebuilds & Redesigns

For sites that look dated, run slow, or have lost their search rankings. Modern foundations, kept-in-place URLs so existing SEO isn't lost.

  • Content migration without ranking loss
  • 301 redirect mapping done properly
  • Modernised design within your brand
  • Speed + Core Web Vitals fixed
Pillar 03

Speed & SEO Fixes

Not ready for a full rebuild but the site is dragging? Targeted technical work — speed, schema, indexability. Surgical, not destructive.

  • Core Web Vitals + speed audit
  • Schema markup setup
  • Indexability + crawl fixes
  • Internal linking restructure
How a build goes

Four steps. Fixed scope. No drift.

01
Discover

Scope the build

Sitemap, content map, what features actually matter. One call, written brief.

02
Design

Wireframe + mockup

See it before it's built. Iterate on the layout, not on the live site.

03
Build

WordPress + content

Built on staging. Weekly progress emails. Nothing goes live until you sign off.

04
Launch

Go live + handover

Deploy, redirect mapping, post-launch checks. Then you decide on ongoing care.

Project pricing

Three project tiers. Real prices. No surprise invoices.

Every build is fixed-scope, fixed-price. If the project grows, we agree on cost before any extra work starts.

Honest fit check

Who this is — and isn't — for

Better to say no upfront than take on the wrong project. Saves time on both sides.

This is a good fit if

  • You're a London business that needs a real site, not a template
  • You want a developer who actually understands SEO
  • You'd rather pay one person than five at an agency
  • You're OK with weekly progress emails over daily Slack
  • You want the site to keep working long after launch

Probably not the right fit if

  • You need it launched in 5 days — that's not real WordPress work
  • You want Shopify, Webflow, or Wix — different specialism
  • You need a full eCommerce store with 500+ products
  • You want a developer who'll just say yes without pushback
  • Your budget is below the Landing Page tier — better tools exist at that level
Honest FAQ

The questions you're actually thinking

Why WordPress and not Webflow, Squarespace, or Wix?

WordPress is best for content depth, SEO control, and long-term flexibility. Other platforms are better for some cases — and I'll tell you honestly if your project would suit one of them more than WordPress.

Do you use page builders like Elementor?

Yes — Elementor for most builds because it's fast for clients to maintain themselves and loads quickly when built carefully. Custom code only where it's actually needed.

What happens if my project goes over scope?

Scope creep gets quoted upfront before any new work starts. No surprise invoices at the end. You always know what something will cost before I do it.

Will I be able to edit the site myself?

Yes — that's the point of WordPress. Built so non-technical edits (text, images, new blog posts) are safe to do yourself. Structural changes you'll want me for.

What about hosting?

I recommend Hostinger or SiteGround for most clients. You own the hosting account — I don't lock you into mine, and you're never dependent on me for access.

Do I have to take the Website Management plan after?

No — strongly recommended, but not required. Full handover documentation is included regardless, so you can manage it yourself or hand it to anyone else.
