Everything WordPress and Woo, under one roof.
Starting fresh, stuck with a slow shop, or tired of a site that breaks every time something updates? We build, fix and look after WordPress and WooCommerce properly.
New WordPress builds
When you manage lots of content yourself, WordPress is a great fit. We build it without a bloated theme or page builder.
WooCommerce shops
New Woo shops and improvements to existing ones: checkout, shipping rules, product options, order handling and branded emails, all built lean.
Custom mu-plugins
Purpose-built plugins that do exactly one job, instead of a pile of off-the-shelf ones doing ten things you don't need. Faster, safer, no conflicts.
Speed & security fixes
Slow pages, failing Core Web Vitals or a site that's been hacked. We find the real cause and fix it properly, not just the symptom.
Plugin conflicts & errors
White screen after an update? Checkout stopped working? We've fixed hundreds of these, and it's usually quicker than you'd think.
Updates & maintenance
Core, theme and plugin updates tested on staging before they touch your live site, with backups, monitoring and a developer on tap.
20kb. Not 20mb.
Most plugins are built to solve everyone's problem. That means code for features you'll never use, settings you'll never touch and overhead you carry on every single page load.
We write lean mu-plugins for your specific job. Same functionality, a fraction of the weight, and no plugin conflicts at inconvenient moments.
- Must-use pluginsThey load automatically and can't be switched off by accident in the admin.
- One job eachEasy to read, easy to test, easy to change later.
- No licence renewalsNo annual fee to keep a feature you've already paid for.
A WooCommerce admin that fits how you sell.
WooCommerce out of the box is built for everyone. Your shop isn't everyone. So we build the tools around it that your team actually needs.
For one Woo shop we built a complete suite of mu-plugins:
- A clean shop dashboard
- Phone and manual orders
- Branded PDF invoices
- Order exports
- Custom order status page
- Call notes on orders
Plus a full shipping plugin with postcode region logic, a region by delivery class price grid and a simple card-based settings page.
When it's time to move on, we'll move you.
Sometimes a shop or site simply outgrows its plugin stack. When patching costs more than it saves, we'll tell you straight and move you to PixelShop, our own eCommerce platform, or a custom PHP site. Products, content and redirects carried over, so your rankings come with you. UK Electric Fencing and ES Auto Installations both made the move.
- Products and categories carried overYour catalogue moves with you, checked before launch.
- No plugin pileStripe, Klarna, VAT invoices and reports built in, plus an admin app on your phone.
- Redirects done properlyOld URLs mapped to new ones, so search equity carries over.
- No pressureIf WordPress is still right for you, we'll keep it running well.
Proof, not promises.

Straight answers from a WordPress developer who'll tell you what you need, not what's easiest to sell.
Do you still build WordPress sites?
Yes. Custom PHP is what we usually recommend because it's faster and has less to go wrong, but WordPress is the right choice for some projects, especially if you'll be editing lots of content yourself. When we build on WordPress we skip the bloated theme and page builder and write lean mu-plugins for what you need. Compare it with our custom PHP websites.
What is a mu-plugin and why does it matter?
A must-use plugin loads automatically and can't be switched off by accident from the admin. We write them for one specific job each, so instead of a 20mb plugin doing ten things, you get a 20kb one doing exactly what you need. Faster pages, no conflicts and no licence renewals.
Can you fix my existing WooCommerce shop?
Yes. Slow checkouts, broken shipping rules, payment problems, plugin conflicts, errors after an update - we diagnose the real cause and fix it properly. If it's urgent, see site rescue.
Can you build a custom WooCommerce plugin?
Yes. We've built Woo dashboards, phone and manual order tools, PDF invoices, order exports, custom order status pages and a full shipping plugin with postcode region pricing. Tell us what your team needs and we'll give you a fixed quote.
Do you offer WordPress maintenance?
Yes. Core, theme and plugin updates tested on staging first, daily backups, security monitoring, UK hosting on our own infrastructure and a developer on tap. See hosting and management.
My WordPress site has been hacked. Can you help?
Yes. We clean it up, find out how they got in and close that door, then harden the site so it doesn't happen again. Usually it's an outdated plugin or theme, a weak admin password or hosting that hasn't been looked after.
Should I move from WooCommerce to PixelShop?
Only if it makes sense for you. If your shop is slow, fragile or held together by dozens of plugins, moving to PixelShop can make a big difference. We carry over products and categories and set up redirects so rankings come with you. If Woo is still working for you, we'll keep it running well.
How do you charge for WordPress work?
Fixed quotes, agreed before we start. No hourly rate ticking away in the background. New builds can be paid monthly from £100 a month with no minimum term, or bought outright. See how our pricing works.
