Wordpress Web Design
Why we use Wordpress
WordPress is web platform you can use to create a highly functional website or blog. While WordPress started as a blogging system, it has since evolved to be used as a full content management system and so much more through the thousands of integrated plugins, widgets, and themes.
We believe that by leveraging the flexibility and features offered by the Wordpress platform, we can save development time and therefore cost. Our main aim is to offer affordable website design that doesn’t compromise on quality.
Over 810 million people have chosen WordPress to power their websites (Thats 40% of all websites on the internet). Most notable users of WordPress include the likes of CNN, The New York Times, Forbes, NASA, and Time Magazine. Learn more at www.WordPress.org not Wordpress.com which is the paid for platform.
Website Development
Website development is the other aspect of web design. We often break them into two fields. Frontend development and backend development.
Backend website development is where all the technical parts come in that create a functional site. Custom code written in HTML, Javascript and PHP allow you to make more than just a good looking website.
CSS is also part of website programming which allows you to create the visual look of the website design.
You also get all the other technical features of a website such as setting up a Wordpress site on a server, linking the domain to a website and ensuring that your website is secure with SSL.
Before development, you may want to consider a wireframing and mockup design process.
Wordpress Themes & Plugins
Through the use of the best in class WordPress Themes, Pagebuilders and plugins we are able to quickly and cost-effectively design beautiful websites, that help you achieve your online marketing goals.
We utilise an extensive library of themes and WordPress Pagebuilders such as: Elementor, Divi, WoodMart and many more to craft stunning designs that convert..
We setup, customize and opt for the best plugins available for our WordPress websites to provide any additional functionality. These plugins are sourced either from the free WordPress Codex (such as Contact Form 7 & Woocommerce) or premium plugins such as or Gravity Forms, Crocoblock or other paid plugins from Codecanyon.
Responsive Web Design
Our WordPress themes are responsive, which means they will automatically adapt to mobile devices like iPhones and iPads. Responsive web design is an approach that provides optimal viewing across a wide range of devices. One website can accommodate desktop computer monitors, tablets, and mobile phones. This saves you development time, as well as reduces ongoing website maintenance costs. All of our websites are also compatible with all main web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera).
A responsive site is an option used as a placeholder for a mobile app. You can test out an idea instead of getting a custom app developed.
