Read the full review“I worked with Muhammad on a previous project, then hired him on a weekly basis for updates and maintenance on my website. We created a work flow where I would put what I needed done on a google sheet, if I needed to add any instructions I would create a loom video. This made working with Muhammad seemless and fewer one-on-one videos especially because of the time difference.”

WordPress website design: what you actually get
The short version first, then the detail.
WordPress website design is the planning, design and build of a business website on self-hosted WordPress, the open-source platform behind a large share of the web. You get a site you own, can extend without limits and can optimise fully for search.
Our builds use a lightweight theme and a short list of well-maintained plugins rather than a heavy page builder stacked with add-ons. Pages are mapped to real searches before design starts, so each service and location has one clear page instead of several weak ones competing. That planning is the same groundwork our SEO team relies on later, and it is why WordPress suits firms that intend to grow through content.

Is WordPress the right choice for your business?
An honest answer, including when we would point you elsewhere.
WordPress earns its place when a business needs pages and features that hosted builders handle awkwardly: dozens of service and area pages, a knowledge base, member areas, booking rules or links into accounting and CRM software. It also gives the deepest control over technical search settings.
- You plan to publish guides, case notes or news regularly
- You offer several services across several towns
- You need custom forms, calculators or integrations
- You want to own every file and choose your own host
- Search is, or will be, your main source of enquiries
It is the wrong fit if you want to change layouts yourself every week with no learning curve. In that case a Wix website or Squarespace is usually kinder, and if you mainly sell products, compare Shopify first.

What you get
What our WordPress builds include
Everything below comes as standard. Nothing is held back as a paid extra.
Why it matters
Why so many WordPress sites disappoint
WordPress itself is rarely the problem. How it was built usually is.
A lean theme, native blocks and a plugin list we can justify line by line.
Licensed or custom themes only, installed from trusted sources.
Hosting, domain and admin accounts registered in your business name from day one.
A written update routine, or Website Care if you would rather we handled it.
A page plan where every page has one job, checked before content is written.
WooCommerce, bookings and integrations
Where WordPress pulls ahead of hosted builders.
WooCommerce turns a WordPress site into a shop without moving platform, which suits businesses selling alongside services, trade customers with their own price lists, or products with unusual options. For a pure online store with high order volumes we will often recommend Shopify instead, and say so in the audit.
We also connect booking tools, quote calculators, Xero, HubSpot and mailing platforms. Anything that needs bespoke code, such as client portals or complex pricing logic, moves to custom development so it is scoped and tested properly rather than bolted on with another plugin.
- WooCommerce shops with stock, delivery zones and VAT set up
- Appointment booking with reminders
- Quote and finance calculators
- Xero, HubSpot and Mailchimp connections
- Members-only pages and downloads

Compare
WordPress compared with Wix, Squarespace and Shopify
Each platform is good at something. This is how they differ for a typical small business.
| WordPress | Wix | Squarespace | Shopify | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the platform | Nobody, it is open source | Wix | Squarespace | Shopify |
| Hosting | Your choice of host | Included | Included | Included |
| Search control | Fullest | Good | Good | Good for products |
| Editing by you | Easy once set up | Easiest | Easy | Easy |
| Upkeep | Updates needed | Mostly handled by Wix | Mostly handled by Squarespace | Apps need watching |
| Our price from | £995 | £995 | £995 | £2,495 |
Still deciding? Our platform FAQ goes through the trade-offs, or ask in your free audit.
After launch: hosting, updates and security
The part most quotes leave out.
A WordPress site needs regular attention. Core software, theme and plugins receive updates, often for security reasons, and a site left alone for a year is an easy target. You can run updates yourself using the checklist in your handover notes, or hand the job to us.
Our Website Care plan covers fast UK hosting, updates, backups, security monitoring and small edits from £79 a month. If search growth is the priority, pair the site with technical SEO or local SEO so the pages keep earning their place. If you'd like a website with no PHP or plugins to update at all, look at our WordPress alternative on Astro and Cloudflare.
- Updates tested before they reach the live site
- Backups stored away from your hosting
- Uptime and security alerts watched
- Small text and image edits handled for you

Client reviews
What clients say about their new websites
Copied word for word from my Upwork profile, where only a client with a closed contract can leave a review. Here are 12 of them, picked at random.

I would often send him follow up issues on our website and he always fixed them right away. He did a great job transitioning the website to Elementor and we are really happy with his work!”

Read the full review“This is the second website Muhammad has created for me, this time for my main photography and videography business. I gave him very little brief and he has produced a fantastic website, transferring extensive content from my previous one. The new site looks great, is fast, SEO optimised and easy to navigate. Muhammad was responsive with changes and helpful with instructions on how to make changes to the site myself. Highly recommended - will be working with him again”
Read the full review“Muhammad was great to work with. He understood my problems and what I wanted to accomplish with my website. We had a brief conversation to go over what I wanted and he delivered within a week. I gave him some tweaks I wanted to make and the fixed those immediately. I wanted to understand some things to do on my own and we set up a second zoom meeting so I can self manage my website. I will definitely hire him on an on going basis for when I need to get things done on my website that'll take me too long.”
“Muhammad delivers exceptional web design. His work is polished, on schedule, and he keeps you updated every step of the way. Definitely will work him again.”
