WordPress web design. Fast, custom, yours.

WordPress sites designed custom in Bricks Builder, built to a Core Web Vitals budget, and yours to edit and own outright — live in ten working days, fixed in pounds. No bought themes, no plugin bloat, no lock-in. Andrews of Holmfirth, a 50-year greengrocer, was taking live orders on WordPress inside week one.

WordPress done properly. Designed, fast, and yours.

    Designed, not a bought theme

    We don't buy a ThemeForest theme and reskin it. Every page is designed against the decision your buyer actually makes and built custom in Bricks Builder, so the site looks like your business and not like ten thousand others running the same template.

  2. W02 · Fast WordPress, not bloated WordPress

    Fast WordPress, not bloated WordPress

    Slow WordPress comes from a heavy theme stacked with overlapping plugins. We build lean in Bricks and ship to a Core Web Vitals budget with a Lighthouse 90+ baseline — fonts self-hosted, images optimised, caching from day one. Speed is a ranking and conversion lever, engineered in.

  3. W03 · Yours to edit, yours to own

    Yours to edit, yours to own

    Bricks is the easiest visual editor in WordPress — change text, swap images, add sections yourself, no code. All WordPress access, the Bricks templates, brand files, and hosting credentials transfer to you on launch. No platform rent, no SaaS lock-in, no agency holding your site hostage.

  4. W04 · Built by people who know the stack cold

    Built by people who know the stack cold

    WordPress and Bricks is the studio's whole stack — every site we ship runs on it. David and Olivia design and build each one themselves. No juniors, no subcontractors, and no solo freelancer who goes quiet when the next job lands.

  • How much does a WordPress website cost?

    It's fixed in pounds, not a vague 'from £X+'. Get Found is £1,297 for a five-page WordPress site with brand foundation, on-page SEO, and 30-day support. Get Ahead is £2,497 for a ten-page build with full brand identity and a conversion landing page. The price you see is the price you pay — a defined deliverable list, a defined timeline, and no scope-creep invoices once the build starts.

  • Will my WordPress site be slow or bloated?

    Not the way we build it. Slow WordPress comes from a bought theme stacked with a dozen overlapping plugins. We design in Bricks Builder with a lean plugin set and ship every build to a Core Web Vitals budget and a Lighthouse 90+ baseline — fonts self-hosted, images optimised, caching configured from day one. Speed is a ranking and conversion lever, so it's engineered in rather than patched on.

  • Will I get a custom design or a generic bought theme?

    Custom, every time. We do not buy a ThemeForest theme and reskin it. Every page is designed against the decision your buyer actually makes and built in Bricks Builder, so the site looks like your business and not like ten thousand others running the same template. That is the whole difference between a designed WordPress site and an assembled one.

  • What is Bricks Builder and why do you build on it?

    Bricks is a visual site builder for WordPress that produces clean, fast markup instead of the bloated output most page builders leave behind. We chose it because it gives you a genuinely editable site without sacrificing performance — you get the speed of hand-coded HTML and the freedom to edit text, images, and sections yourself after launch. It is the stack behind every site we ship.

  • Can I edit my WordPress site myself after launch?

    Yes, and that is usually why people want WordPress in the first place. Bricks Builder is the easiest visual editor in WordPress — you change text, swap images, add sections, and run updates without touching code. We hand over a Loom walkthrough and a printed cheat-sheet at launch, and the Stay Ahead retainer is there for anything structural.

  • Do I own my WordPress site, or am I locked in?

    You own everything. All WordPress access, the Bricks templates, the brand files, and the hosting credentials transfer to you on launch. There is no platform rent, no SaaS that can change its pricing under you, and no agency holding your site hostage. The site you paid for is yours to keep, move, or hand to another developer.

  • How long does a WordPress website take to build?

    Ten working days from kickoff, for both packages. Kickoff happens within seven days of signature. Andrews of Holmfirth, a 50-year family greengrocer, went from brief to taking live orders on a WordPress and WooCommerce build inside that window — a fortnight, not the three months an agency usually quotes.

  • Can you redesign or fix my existing WordPress site without a full rebuild?

    Often, yes. If the foundation is sound we attack the design, speed, and content layer directly rather than starting over. For Birkinshaw Aesthetics we did not rebuild the site at all — we worked the content and E-E-A-T layer and earned position 1 in Google AI Overviews for a high-intent query in 90 days. We tell you on the free audit call, honestly, whether a fix or a rebuild is the right call.

  • → Still curious? Book the free audit
  • Who actually builds my WordPress site — a junior or a freelancer who might disappear?

    David and Olivia, the two principals, every time. No account managers, no juniors, no subcontractors, and no solo freelancer who goes quiet when the next job lands. The two people you brief are the two people who design, build, and ship the site, and the studio is still there for support after launch.

    Within two weeks of launching the new site, we saw a 37% increase in quote requests. The design isn't just modern, it's built to convert.

    I finally feel confident sending clients to my website.

    ★★★★★

    We'd tried to sort the website ourselves a few times and never got anywhere. Lucent came in, understood the business immediately, and delivered something we're genuinely proud of.
