WordPress Design
Benefits of a WordPress site
- Flexible:
With almost 60,000 plugins at your disposal, adding new features and functionalities to your site is simple. Plugin development is constantly evolving; there are plugins for ecommerce, contact forms, image sliders and just about anything else you might need to enhance your site.
- User-Friendly:
If HTML and coding are akin to foreign languages to you, fear not – WordPress is a self-contained system with plenty of templates for you to work from. Or better yet, you can partner with a professional who can create a dazzlingly distinct design for you that works wonderfully.
- SEO-Friendly:
Plugins such as Rank Math Pro help you to create web pages that are SEO friendly, favoured by the search engines and consequently, seen by more consumers. Rank Math has a simple traffic light system which shows you how various aspects of your page measure up to SEO standards.
- Easy editing:
The drag and drop interface makes maintaining and modifying your site a breeze. Plus, a WordPress website is browser based, so you can work on your site from any internet connected device.
- Mobile-Friendly:
WordPress is built using responsive technology that enables your website to scale down appropriately when viewed from a mobile device. This is essential in the current age, where up to 55% of website traffic comes from mobile and search engines penalise non-mobile optimised websites.

The benefits of a blog
E-Commerce
You want your website to increase business revenue, charm customers and sell products and services.
And our top web designers have got the skills to achieve all of the above.
Our conversion-led development process ensures your high-performance eCommerce site secures serious online revenue growth.
A new eCommerce website offers much more functionality than a brochure site. You’ll be able to list all your products and services, and offer multiple ways to pay – with integrations from PayPal, Sagepay, WorldPay, Stripe and many more. Using platforms built for mobile, we’ll ensure that you provide the best customer experience across any device.
eCommerce websites are a little like online catalogues where you can browse entire product and service ranges, select what you need, order and pay securely in a few clicks.
This means they’re ideal for many types of B2C businesses, but they can be designed cleverly so that they’re much more effective than being simple online lists and are collated cleverly into collections that appeal to specific types of customers.
Plugin development is constantly improving; we can integrate popular payment platforms like PayPal, Sage Pay, WorldPay and Stripe into your eCommerce website, and we’ll optimise it for mobile as well as PC as standard, because so many customers prefer to buy using their phone.
