Why WordPress in 2026.
WordPress 7, released in April 2026, is the biggest step forward the platform has taken in years. Native AI integration, a properly grown-up block editor, real-time collaboration, and serious performance improvements. It is a genuinely exciting choice for new sites, not a fallback.
Native AI integration
WordPress 7 ships with a built-in AI API, ready to plug into modern language models. We wire it up cleanly so your site can do more without bolting on questionable plugins.
A grown-up block editor
The block editor has matured into a genuinely capable design tool. Reusable patterns, full-site editing, and real layout control without page-builder bloat.
Real-time collaboration
Multiple editors can now work on the same post or page at once, the way teams expect in 2026. Comments, suggestions, version history, all built in.
The plugin ecosystem you know
Twenty years of plugins for every conceivable need: e-commerce, memberships, bookings, forms, CRM. Picked carefully, not piled on.
What you get.
Every WordPress build we ship is custom designed, modern, and built on the latest stable release. We treat the block editor as a first-class design surface, and we keep the plugin list deliberately short.
You finish the project with a site you actually enjoy editing, and a partner you can ring when something needs changing.

From first call to live site.
No black box, no surprise invoice, no agency theatre. Four clear steps from getting in touch to having a WordPress site you are proud of.
A free 30-minute chat. We look at your existing site, your goals, your must-haves and your deal-breakers. No pitch, no obligation, no salesperson - you talk to the developer who would build it.
A fixed-price written quote within 48 hours, daily updates, and a list of exactly what you get. Block editor or Avada, plugins, integrations - all spelled out before you commit a penny.
A staging site goes up on day one and updates as we build, with daily progress you can see. You log in, click around, leave comments. Most projects ship within three weeks.
We migrate, test, switch the DNS and watch the metrics - we do not vanish on launch day. Our plans ensure you have a fixed monthly or yearly fee with no hidden costs. End of.
Who WordPress suits best.
WordPress is not the right answer for every project. When it is, it is hard to beat. Here is where we recommend it.
You want to edit content yourself
Pages, posts, products, team profiles. The new block editor makes day-to-day updates genuinely easy.
You want a familiar, portable platform
WordPress is the most widely known CMS in the world. Any WordPress developer can pick up your site, your team likely already knows it, and you are never locked in to one agency.
You want WooCommerce
For most small to mid-size online shops, WooCommerce remains the most flexible and cost-effective option in 2026.
You run a busy blog or publication
Multiple authors, editorial workflows, categories, and content scheduling. WordPress is still hard to beat for publishing.
Avada experts, when you want one.
For new builds we default to the modern WordPress 7 block editor, but Avada is one of the highest-selling WordPress themes of all time and we have built and supported many Avada sites over the years.
If you have an existing Avada site you need taking over, or you specifically want the flexibility of Avada for a new build, we know it inside out. From Fusion Builder layouts to Theme Options, custom child themes, and performance tuning, we have you covered.
We are also happy to migrate Avada sites to the block editor when there is a clear reason to, but we will never push it.
Headless WordPress, modern frontend.
Want the editing experience of WordPress with the raw speed and modern feel of a static site? Headless WordPress keeps the familiar WordPress admin and content workflow on the backend, while we render the public site with Astro or Next.js on the frontend. The best of both worlds.
Static-site speed
Pages are pre-rendered at build time and served from a global CDN. Loads in milliseconds, no PHP, no database hit on every request.
Hardened security
The WordPress admin sits on a separate domain, hidden from public traffic. Smaller attack surface, fewer plugin vulnerabilities exposed.
Familiar editing, modern tech
Your team keeps editing in the WordPress block editor they already know, while the public site is built on a modern AI-ready framework.
Looked after, after launch.
Every WordPress build comes with managed hosting, security, daily backups, and the option of our Cared For plan for ongoing edits. One simple monthly bill, and a real person to ring when you need help.
WordPress hostingWordPress websites from £1,500.
Every project is quoted on what it actually needs, not a fixed package. Brochure sites typically start around £1,500. Larger builds with WooCommerce, memberships, or custom functionality are scoped individually. We will give you a clear, fixed quote up front.

Will my site work with WordPress 7?
Yes. We build every new site on the latest stable release of WordPress 7, using the block editor and modern theme.json conventions. Your site will be ready for the AI features, real-time collaboration, and performance improvements that came with the April 2026 release.
Can I edit my own content?
Absolutely, and it is much easier than it used to be. The WordPress 7 block editor is genuinely pleasant to use. We hand over a tidy site with a short training session so you can confidently update pages, add blog posts, swap images, and edit team profiles yourself.
Block editor or Avada, how do you decide?
Both are great choices for the right project. The native WordPress 7 block editor is our default for simpler brochure sites, blogs and content-led builds where you want full control over a lean custom theme. Avada is the right call when you need a feature-rich theme with built-in design flexibility, Fusion Builder layouts, and a huge library of pre-built patterns. We will recommend the best fit during our discovery call, no pushing either way.
Are you Avada specialists?
Yes. Avada has been one of the highest-selling WordPress themes for over a decade and we have built and supported many Avada sites over the years. From Fusion Builder layouts and Theme Options to custom child themes and performance tuning, we know Avada inside out. Whether you have an existing Avada site or you specifically want Avada for a new build, you are in good hands.
What about AI features?
WordPress 7 ships with a native AI API. We build sites that are AI-ready and can plug into language models for tasks like content suggestions, draft generation, and smart search. We will not promise specific features that depend on third-party plugins still maturing, but the foundations are in place.
How long does a build take?
A standard WordPress brochure site typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from kick-off to launch. Larger projects with WooCommerce, memberships, or custom integrations usually run 8 to 12 weeks. We will give you a clear timeline at quote stage.
