WordPress: The full service.

I do all things WordPress and deliver websites that help businesses grow.

Need help with WordPress?

If you are looking to improve an existing WordPress site, need help planning a new one, or are just wondering if WordPress is right for you, I can help.

WordPress is the most flexible, stable content management system on the web.

It is continuously improved, supported by many passionate contributors, and so easy to use, so it’s clear why so many websites use it.

As an experienced WordPress developer, I can help you with the following.

Planning, design, build, launch and optimise.

I help organisations with the complete process, for both new sites and website redesigns.

This is where I spend most of my time: designing and building websites for clients who want their sites to drive growth.

I am primarily SEO-focused and work with clients to deliver the site their audience wants, not something that just looks flashy.

WordPress consultation – is WordPress right for you?

Starting a new site using WordPress or migrating an existing one to the platform can be daunting.

I have found that many clients have to trust the opinions of their current or prospective web design agency on the best CMS to suit their current and potential needs.

Content Planning – where most websites fall down.

Where everything should start, planning your content is simply the most important part of any website project.

It’s often overlooked as simply the text and images that you, the client, are going to supply to the people building your site.

It’s so much more than that.

SEO Consultancy starts early, not at the end of the project.

Search Engine Optimisation works hand-in-hand with planning the content of your new website.

You need to identify what you want to rank for and what content you have to rank early on in the project, as this will affect the entire structure of your site, including categories, tags, custom post types, and everything else!

Most agencies create a site and then worry about SEO—this is completely the wrong approach.

WordPress design – far more than just the look and feel.

Design is not just about what your site looks like – it’s how information is arranged, how visitors want to interact with that information and what they should do next.

You can divide this into the graphic design, user experience, and information architecture of the site. I like to call it the design stage, as it should encompass all these separate aspects.

WordPress development – building your website.

Should you use a free theme or a premium theme, or do you need something more bespoke?

There are literally thousands of options when it comes to developing your WordPress site—most come with some form of limitation, other than a fully bespoke site.

WordPress hosting – don’t invest in a new site and then scrimp on the hosting.

Hosting for your WordPress site is as important as the site itself. Opting for some cheap, nasty hosting does far more damage than simply affecting your site’s speed and placement in the SERPs.

A poorly hosted site can also make working on your site painful. You may not have backups and your shared server could be full of spammy sites that can affect you.

WordPress maintenance – make sure your site is looked after properly.

Chances are that you are not a WordPress expert when it comes to updates and future development work.

An affordable maintenance plan will help ensure your site is kept in tip-top condition, meaning it’s fast and performs well.

Trouble-shooting & WordPress fixes.

Is something wrong with your WordPress site? I can help you get this fixed in a jiffy.

From simple errors to more complex issues, I have fixed 1000s of problems on WordPress sites.

I help people get better websites

Whatever stage you are at, I can help make your website deliver more growth.

Startups.

I help new businesses get off to the right start with a purpose-built, bespoke WordPress site that will last for at least the first five years of their growth.

Migrations to WordPress.

If you want to move your existing site to the WordPress CMS, I can help with that too – a large amount of my work is moving legacy CMS sites to bespoke build WordPress sites.

SEO, Support & Hosting.

The real work starts when your site is live – I help businesses of all sizes with SEO consultancy, managed WordPress hosting and ongoing website support and maintenance.

Site Rebuilds.

I rebuild and/or redesign existing WordPress sites to improve speed, usability, conversions, and rankings. Sometimes all you need is a revamp.

Improving existing sites.

If your site is fine, but just does not convert leads, it’s going to need a little TLC – there’s often no need to start again, I can improve what you have already got.

Growth.

This is what it’s all about – from generating more sales to increasing memberships, I consult with organisations to make their websites do more of what they are meant to do.

Slake Spirits

What can I say… Dave is an absolute hero. He managed to recover my e-commerce site, even though no other agency or developer could fix the problem or was willing to take on the project. All of this with professionalism and great value, too. When [someone] provides this level of service even to the smallest of customers, they deserve the highest accolades in my book!
