Hire WordPress developers who make your site safe again

We do not charge by the hour. After half an hour on the phone we write down the work, the date and one fixed price for the build, so you have the number before anybody starts. Looking after the site afterwards is a separate monthly fee, sized to what we are keeping alive: updates, watching for problems, repairs and small improvements. Keeping the two apart means you never pay for care you did not ask for, and never get a surprise bill for a build that ran long. If the job changes halfway through, we price that part in writing first.

You choose. Take the site back in-house with the handover notes and logins we produce, or stay with us on a monthly plan. That plan is the second half of what we do: updates applied on a set day, alerts if the site goes down or starts throwing errors, repairs inside an agreed time, security patches, a few improvements each month and a written note of what changed. WordPress punishes being ignored, because an out-of-date add-on is the most common way in for somebody with bad intentions. Either way, nothing about the build forces you to keep us.

Yes. A site somebody else built is something we pick up as it stands. We start by going through what you have: the design, every add-on, the hosting, the database and how exposed the site is. Then you get a plain list in three piles: urgent, worth doing, leave alone. From there we repair in place, or rebuild only the parts genuinely holding you back. We do not insist on starting again. If the site turns out to be sound and simply needs somebody watching it, we say so, and the arrangement becomes a monthly plan rather than a project.

Yes, and before you have spent anything. We build on more than one platform, and no commission rides on which one we suggest. The short version: Webflow suits a company website that needs to be quick, safe and editable with almost no upkeep. WordPress earns its keep when you need a very particular add-on, an unusual way of organizing your content, or full control of the machine it runs on. The real cost of WordPress was never the software, which is free. It is the upkeep, and somebody has to own that. On the call we tell you which side of that line you are on.

You do, from day one. The hosting account, the web address, any add-ons with a yearly license and the code are all in your name, and we work inside them rather than parking your site somewhere only we can reach. Whatever we write is handed over as readable code with notes, and nothing renews through us. End the arrangement and you keep a site your own team, or another firm, could pick up the following morning. A client who stays because leaving would be painful is not really a client.

Usually within 1 to 2 weeks. Scoping happens on the first half-hour call, and work begins once the price and dates are agreed in writing. Day to day the developer uses your tools: your job list, your chat, your release days. Every change is built on the practice copy and looked over before it reaches a visitor, never typed straight into the live site. You get one named person rather than whoever is free that week, and you meet them before anything is signed. If you would rather we simply ran the whole thing and sent you a monthly report, that works too.
