WordPress : The Most Advanced and Widely Used Content Management System (CMS) in the World

WordPress forms the basis of over 40% of the world''s websites. It is extremely flexible, mature, and can be used to create pretty much any website imaginable.

This is why we choose WordPress, as the default Web Development Platform, for our clients.

Why Use WordPress?

Content Taxonomy

Website owners too often overlook this, but well structured content improves findabilty, usability, search and the 'user experience' (UX). WordPress provides content taxonomies by default: Custom Content Types, Custom Fields, Categories and Tags on all content.

Build Anything

The range of websites that can be built with WordPress is practically limitless. By using the platform your website is future proofed. Event systems, booking or membership systems. E-Commerce, customer support and feedback systems. Job boards, learning management systems (LMS) for training ...

Content Design Patterns (Components)

WordPress 'Patterns' allow web designers to create reusable layout and design sections that can easily be inserted in to any page. The editor then merely adds to necessary content. Imagine a 'Our Team' pattern or a 'Portfolio' pattern.

Custom Content Types

Database powered content - Show (query) content based on category, order, date, author ... Searchable, findable data. An example content type might be 'Books' (date published, author, genre, reviews, price ... ). Or 'Our Projects' (location, sector, funding level, volunteer numbers ... ).

Modern Content Editor

The WordPress 'Block' editor makes it really simple to create new website content. And importantly, it allows website designers/developers to control editing capabilities, based on the website owner's needs and experience.

Complete Design Freedom

WordPress allows you to struture your website, add functionality, easily add new content, and edit the parts that regularly change. It plays no part in the design. With an experienced designer, WordPress 'themes' can be precisely tailored to match your unique identity and brand.

The Right Way

As 'bespoke' web designers, we create websites that are unique to our clients. With WordPress that means designing a custom theme - a series of individually coded templates - based on distinct, client-approved visual design concepts.

WordPress 'Core' is extremely flexible and adaptable, and doesn't require 3rd party plugins be installed to extend most functionality - that can be done with custom-code, tailored to meet our client's needs. To avoid bloat, we keep plugin usage to an absolute minimum.

That of course doesn't mean plugins should never be used - for ecommerce, membership management, booking systems - it can make sense, but we only use those that are secure, stable and optimised for speed.

The Wrong Way

A vast contributor network has grown up around the WordPress CMS. This unfortunately, allows people, without any web developer expertise, to 'make websites' and call themselves a 'WordPress developer'.

They'll select a generic, pre-designed WordPress 'Theme' and install numerous plugins for even the most basic functionality. Many may even install a completely unnecessary, paid for, proprietary 'Page Builder', making much of what makes WordPress great, redundant!

The resulting website will be slow and bloated, potentially insecure and unstable, with the design looking derivative and unimaginative.

Even WordPress itself suggests this is not how websites, using their platform, should be 'developed'.
