Powerful, scalable WordPress websites

From brand and brochure websites to WooCommerce stores, membership platforms and digital products, WordPress gives us the flexibility to build around the way your business works. We are a London WordPress web design agency that plans, designs, and develops each site as a bespoke project, creating a fast, scalable platform your team can manage confidently after launch.

How can we help?

WordPress design & development services

  • Bespoke WordPress design

    Our design team creates bespoke WordPress experiences around your brand, audience and commercial goals. We map user journeys, shape the content hierarchy and design flexible page systems that stay consistent while giving your team room to create. Every detail is considered across desktop and mobile, balancing creativity with usability, accessibility and conversions.

  • WordPress development

    Our WordPress developers handle front-end and back-end development, turning approved designs into fast, responsive and maintainable websites. We build custom themes on our own streamlined WordPress framework, Slate, rather than relying on an off-the-shelf theme. The result is a flexible CMS experience for your team and a polished, high-performance website for your users.

  • Custom plugins + integrations

    Connect WordPress to the tools that keep your business moving. We build and configure integrations with CRMs, APIs, payment gateways, marketing platforms and other third-party services. We avoid unnecessary plugin dependencies wherever possible. If your project needs functionality that doesn’t exist, our developers can build it into the theme or create a bespoke WordPress plugin.

  • Flexible page builder

    We build flexible content blocks that let your team create new pages, change layouts and publish content without needing a developer for everyday updates. Your editors get the freedom of a page builder while the design system stays consistent with your brand. When you need new functionality or a new type of content block, our WordPress team can extend the site without having to start over.

  • Managed WordPress hosting

    We can host and maintain the WordPress websites we build, giving you one team to call if something needs attention. Our recommended managed hosting setup is designed around performance, security, backups and reliability. Because we know the site and its codebase, we can investigate issues quickly and keep the platform running smoothly.

  • WordPress support & monitoring

    Launch is the start of the relationship, not the end. Our WordPress support service keeps your website, framework and plugins maintained, monitored and up to date. We can help with technical issues, ongoing improvements and new functionality as your requirements change, reducing downtime and keeping the site secure and effective.

WordPress Development Agency London use WordPress as an open source CMS platform

What is WordPress?

WordPress is an open-source content management system used to create and manage websites. It gives your team control over pages, content, images and other website information through an intuitive CMS, while giving developers the flexibility to create completely bespoke front-end experiences. For businesses, that combination of editorial freedom, extensibility and a huge global support system makes WordPress a strong platform for websites that need to grow over time.

London WordPress Agency Fhoke have created an intelligent WordPress framework that they’ve named ‘Slate’.

Why we build with WordPress

We’ve worked with WordPress since 2008 and built our own streamlined framework, Slate, to make bespoke development faster and more consistent. It gives our developers a proven foundation without forcing your website into a pre-designed template. Slate helps us reduce unnecessary plugins, keep the CMS easy to use and add new functionality efficiently as your website evolves.

What can you build with WordPress?

WordPress has grown far beyond its origins as a blogging platform. If WordPress is the right platform for the brief, we’ll shape it around what your business actually needs rather than forcing the project into a standard template. We use it as the CMS behind a wide range of bespoke digital experiences, including:

“Having been in the marketing game for over 20 years, I've worked on many websites. Honestly, I've never produced one as good as with Fhoke. Everything about dealing with them is super professional, from their fab proposal, project management, wireframes, and design through to launch and go-live support. It's the service that sets them apart.”

Our WordPress website process

From the first workshop to launch & beyond

Our WordPress projects follow a clear process that brings strategy, UX, design and development together. You work directly with the people creating your website, with each stage signed off before we move to the next.

 

  • Discovery and scope

    Every WordPress project starts with understanding your business, your audience and what the new website needs to do better.

    We review your existing website, competitors, content, analytics where available, technical requirements and any third-party systems the site needs to connect with. From there, we define the scope, priorities and functionality before design begins.

  • Plan the experience

    We map the sitemap, navigation, content hierarchy and key user journeys before creating wireframes for the important pages.

    This gives us a clear blueprint for the website and lets us solve usability, content and conversion challenges early. We also establish how WordPress needs to work behind the scenes so your team can manage the finished site without fighting the CMS.

  • Design the website

    We don’t start with a WordPress theme. Our designers create the interface around your brand, content and users, developing a flexible visual system that works consistently across the site.

    Desktop, tablet and mobile are considered throughout, alongside accessibility, interaction and the calls to action that help turn visitors into enquiries, customers or whatever matters to your business.

  • Build in WordPress

    Once the design is approved, our WordPress developers turn it into a fast, responsive custom theme using our own streamlined development framework, Slate.

    We build flexible content components for your editors, integrate the systems your business relies on and avoid unnecessary plugin dependencies wherever possible. Front-end performance, technical SEO, accessibility, security and maintainability are considered throughout development.

  • Test & launch

    Before launch, we test the website across relevant browsers, devices and screen sizes, checking functionality, forms, integrations, responsive behaviour and content.

    We also review performance and Core Web Vitals, configure redirects where an existing website is being replaced, check important technical SEO requirements and make sure your team is comfortable managing the site in WordPress.

    Once everything is signed off, we manage the move to the live environment.

  • Support & evolve

    A WordPress website needs to evolve. We can continue hosting, monitoring and maintaining the site after launch, keeping WordPress and its dependencies up to date while supporting new functionality, content components and ongoing improvements.

    Because it’s a website we’ve designed and developed ourselves, you have direct access to a team that already understands how it works.
