WordPress with you,
from migration to maintenance
WordPress is an open source content platform, and its real advantage is not the feature list: it is that a non-technical team can run it day to day. Pages, catalogue, campaigns, a landing page for a launch next Tuesday, all without a developer in the loop for every change. Paired with Elementor your team gets a layout system it can actually use, and because it is open source the site, the database and the content stay yours.
Installing it is the easy part. Deciding what belongs in the CMS, what belongs in a plugin, what should be built properly and what should not be in WordPress at all is where we come in.
We don’t just install the CMS, we take responsibility for the structure, the migration and what happens after launch.
Personalised analysis
We start with your content, your URL map and who has to update the site every week, then design the structure around that.
Design and development
We build the real site: templates, Elementor layouts, forms, integrations and custom code wherever a plugin is the wrong answer.
Practical training
We hand over the site, the admin accounts and the hosting, and we train the people who will use it. The site and the content are yours.
Ongoing support
Updates, plugin audits and a named person to call, so keeping the site current is somebody's job rather than nobody's.
Where WordPress gets you into trouble
- Plugin sprawl. Every plugin is a dependency you now maintain. The extensibility that makes WordPress attractive is also its default failure mode.
- The blocked upgrade. A heavily customised site three major versions behind, where updating is impossible because nobody knows which modification breaks.
- Who patches it. A self-hosted platform gives you the source and hands you the responsibility for keeping it current, which is fine if you have someone whose job that is, and a slow-motion incident if you do not.
- When it is the wrong tool. If the awkward items in your catalogue need dependent options, unit-of-measure conversions, kits, serialised items or channel-specific rules, WooCommerce is not automatically the answer. We will say so.
with us:
Expert support to help your project move forward smoothly.
If you are still choosing a platform, we have written that up: choosing an e-commerce platform, and the work that actually decides whether it sells.
Migrations that keep your search positioning. Redirect mapping, URL and metadata structure, and the existing positioning carried across rather than rebuilt from zero. On Zeta Zepo, preserving it was the explicit deliverable.
Measurement installed as part of the migration, not after it. On Deren we moved the site to WordPress and Elementor, kept the existing calls to action, and had Google Site Kit, Hotjar and Yoast in place from day one.
WooCommerce when it fits, and a straight answer when it does not. The awkward products decide the platform: configurable products with dependent options, per-customer pricing, unit-of-measure conversions, kits and bundles, serialised items, or the same item priced differently by channel.
Performance, multilingual and accessibility built in, not a later pass. Core Web Vitals we optimise for, Polylang for languages that are genuinely separate rather than machine-swapped, and accessible markup we actually implement.
Real sites in production, not demos.
Zeta Zepo: a full move to WordPress with the environment, plugins and theme configured, the menu and forms rebuilt, and old URLs redirected so the existing positioning survived the move.
Deren: migration to WordPress and Elementor with a new structure that kept the existing calls to action, plus a blog section and Calendly, Hotjar, Yoast and Google Site Kit wired in.
Future Cosmetics: an informational WordPress site for a cosmetics brand, built on an agreed template around the brand’s own copy, imagery and typography.
Hatched, Ornallar Chimney Dealer Company and Atempo: 360 digital strategy engagements where the WordPress site is one part of the work, alongside content and campaigns.
