Where to start

New site, rebuild or a few smart fixes?

Most WordPress sites don't fail because of WordPress. They fail because of heavy themes, too many plugins and pages nobody can find. I'll tell you honestly which route makes sense.

New WordPress website

Planned around your services first, then designed and built clean, with no bloated page builders or plugins you don't need.

Rebuild without losing rankings

I check which pages already rank and bring in enquiries, keep what's valuable and redirect the rest, so your search visibility carries over.

Fix and speed up what you have

Slow, fragile or hard to edit? Often a clean-up of plugins, images, pages and navigation does the job for far less than a rebuild.

Built properly

Fast, findable and easy to update.

A WordPress website should earn its keep. Here's what goes into every build.

01

Speed and stability

A lightweight setup, optimised images, only the plugins you actually need, and good hosting, so your site loads fast and doesn't break with every update.

02

WordPress SEO from day one

Page structure, headings, metadata, schema, internal links and local pages planned in from the start. An SEO plugin alone won't get you ranked.

03

Editing your team can handle

Reusable layouts for services, projects and news, so anyone can add content without breaking the design or calling a developer.

04

WooCommerce shops

Clear categories, well-presented products, payments, delivery and tax set up the way you actually trade, plus product SEO so the shop gets found.

The right platform

WordPress or Joomla? I'll recommend what fits.

I build with both, so there's no reason to push you towards one. The right choice depends on how your website needs to work and who'll be updating it.

WordPress suits…

Businesses that want familiar editing, a blog or news section, WooCommerce, and lots of options for adding features over time.

Joomla suits…

Sites with lots of structured content, user permissions or complex navigation. It's what this website runs on. Read about Joomla website services.

Already on one and thinking of switching? I can move websites between WordPress and Joomla, carrying over content, URLs and redirects so you don't lose rankings.

FAQs

WordPress website questions.

How much does a WordPress website cost?

WordPress websites start from £900, and growth websites with more pages and features start from £1,500. WooCommerce shops are quoted individually. I'll give you a fixed quote once I understand what you need.

Can you improve my current WordPress website without rebuilding it?

Often, yes. Better service pages, cleaner navigation, fewer plugins, faster images and clearer calls to action can make a big difference. I only recommend a rebuild when the existing setup is genuinely holding you back.

Will we lose our Google rankings if you redesign the site?

No one can guarantee rankings, but careful planning keeps the risk low. I check which pages already rank, keep their content and URLs where it matters, and set up redirects before anything changes.

Do you build WooCommerce shops?

Yes. I set up product categories, payments, delivery, tax and order emails around how you actually trade, along with product SEO so the shop gets found. See more about my ecommerce website design.

Can you move my website from Joomla to WordPress, or the other way round?

Yes. I'll only recommend a switch if it genuinely helps, and I'll carry over your content, images, URLs, metadata and redirects so nothing important is lost.

Will we be able to update the website ourselves?

Yes. I set up simple, reusable layouts so you can add pages, projects and news without breaking the design, and I'll show you how.

Do you provide WordPress hosting and maintenance?

Yes. Hosting, updates, security checks, backups and ongoing support can all be included, so the site stays fast and safe.

Do you only work with Oxford businesses?

No. My studio is in Oxford, but I build WordPress websites for businesses in Banbury, Milton Keynes, the Cotswolds, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Cornwall and across the UK.
