WordPress & E-commerce
WordPress and WooCommerce, built and maintained properly
When WordPress is the right fit — an in-house content team, an existing plugin ecosystem, a store on WooCommerce — we build it cleanly and keep it that way.
Most WordPress problems are maintenance problems
WordPress itself is a capable, widely used platform. What usually goes wrong is what gets built on top of it: a stack of unrelated plugins papering over gaps, a theme nobody fully understands, and updates that get skipped because nobody wants to risk breaking the site.
The result is a site that gets slower and more fragile over time, with a growing list of things the team is afraid to touch.
A WordPress build maintained like real software
We build custom themes and targeted functionality rather than stacking plugins to approximate what's needed, and we keep the plugin count deliberately low. For stores, that means a properly configured WooCommerce setup rather than a demo theme with products dropped in.
Ongoing maintenance — core and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring — is treated as part of the service, not an afterthought, so the site stays reliable rather than degrading between rebuilds.
What's included
Inside wordpress & e-commerce
Custom WordPress themes
Purpose-built themes matched to the actual site, rather than a generic theme configured to approximate the design.
WooCommerce store builds
Product catalogues, checkout and payment integration configured properly for the store's actual catalogue and workflow.
Site migration and rebuilds
Moving an existing site to a cleaner, better-maintained WordPress setup, or off WordPress entirely where that's the right call.
Maintenance and security
Ongoing core and plugin updates, backups and monitoring, so the site does not quietly degrade between projects.

How we work
The same process, whatever we are building
Every step produces something you can look at and react to. No phase ends with a surprise.
Discover
We start with the problem, the constraints and the people affected — before anyone opens a design tool.
Design
Interfaces are designed as a system, so decisions compound instead of being remade on every screen.
Build
Typed, tested and reviewed. Work ships in increments you can see, not in a single reveal at the end.
Scale
Monitoring, performance budgets and a release process your team can run without us in the room.
Outcomes
What you get
- A theme and plugin set built for the specific site, not stacked to approximate it
- A store configured properly for its actual products and checkout flow
- Maintenance handled as an ongoing service, not skipped for fear of breaking things
- A site that stays fast and secure as content and traffic grow
Questions
Before you get in touch
We already have a WordPress site — can you take over maintaining it?
Yes. We start with an audit of the current theme and plugins, address anything that's fragile or outdated, and take over ongoing maintenance from there.
Should our project use WordPress or custom development?
WordPress is a strong fit when a team needs to manage content independently or relies on its plugin ecosystem. For applications with custom logic beyond content and commerce, our Web Development service is usually the better fit — we're glad to help work out which applies.
Can you migrate an existing store to WooCommerce?
Yes, including product data, and with attention to preserving existing SEO rankings during the move.
