01 / WordPress and WooCommerce

White-label WordPress development for agencies.

Marketing sites, WooCommerce stores and complex WordPress platforms, scoped, built, tested and launched under your agency's brand.

What you get

A build your client's team can edit safely
WooCommerce that holds up under real traffic
Migrations without lost data or rankings

02 / Project types

Three kinds of WordPress project.

Almost every WordPress request an agency brings me is one of these, and each needs a different starting point.

01 / New build

A site built from your designs

Custom theme or block build from the designs your team approved, with the editing experience planned for whoever runs the site afterwards.

Typical triggerA redesign is signed and your developers are booked.
02 / WooCommerce

A store that holds up

Catalogue, checkout, payments, shipping and tax configured and tested, with performance work built into the plan rather than bolted on later.

Typical triggerSales are growing and the store is slowing down.
03 / Takeover

Someone else built it

An audit first, so you know what you are inheriting, then fixes, features or a rebuild recommendation with the reasoning written down.

Typical triggerA client arrives with a site nobody wants to touch.

03 / Build decisions

The choices that decide how the site ages.

WordPress is easy to start and easy to ruin. These four decisions are made before development, not during it.

The decision

Why it matters

How I handle it

How pages get editedA page builder that anyone can use, or custom blocks that keep the design intact.Decided by who edits the site after launch, not by what is fastest to build.
How many pluginsEvery plugin is another update, another risk and another thing that can break.Only what the site genuinely needs, with the rest built into the theme.
Where it is hostedShared hosting is fine until traffic, media or WooCommerce outgrow it.Hosting matched to the real load, including AWS when the platform needs it.
What happens to mediaLarge media libraries are the quiet reason many sites get slow.Media handled properly from the start, with offloading where it makes sense.

04 / Inside the build

What actually gets built and checked.

The same six areas on every WordPress project, sized to the brief.

01

Theme and templates

The design turned into templates and blocks, with an editor your client can use without breaking the layout.

02

WooCommerce

The commerce side set up properly, including recurring revenue models that most builds skip.

03

Performance

Speed work built into the plan rather than added after a client complains about load times.

04

Security and updates

A site that stays safe once nobody is watching it daily, with a clear update routine.

05

SEO foundations

The technical groundwork so the site can rank, and so a migration does not undo existing rankings.

06

Handover

Everything your team or the client needs to run the site without coming back to me.

05 / Migrations

Moving a site without losing data or rankings.

The part of a WordPress project that goes wrong most often, handled as its own sequence.

01

Audit and map

Every URL, template and integration catalogued before anything moves.

02

Staging copy

A full working copy built and tested away from the live site.

03

Content and orders

Posts, products, customers and order history moved and checked against the source.

04

Redirect map

Old URLs mapped to new ones so search rankings and links survive.

05

Launch and watch

Cutover at a quiet hour, then monitoring for errors, traffic and conversions.

Rollback plan agreed before cutover, so a bad launch is reversible rather than a crisis.

06 / Stack and proof

The WordPress stack, chosen for maintenance.

Built so your client team can run the site, and so the next developer can read it.

07 / Partner proof

What agencies say.

They made our WordPress projects so much easier.

WordPress work was taking up too much of our time. Every small change seemed to turn into a bigger task. Now we send the work over, get clear updates, and know it will be taken care of. It's been a huge help for our team.

08 / FAQ

Questions agencies ask first.

It depends on who edits the site after launch. I recommend the option your client team can actually maintain, and say why.

09 / Related services

Often combined with this.

Most engagements mix one way of working with one or two things I build.
