WordPress Website Development — Built to Last, Maintained From Day One

Most development agencies build your site and move on. You get a handover document, a login, and a phone number that takes three days to answer when something breaks six months later. WPOPS works differently. Every WordPress site we build transitions directly into ongoing maintenance — same team, same codebase, no handoff. We build it, we keep it running, and when something needs changing, it happens without a new project brief and a two-week wait.

What we build

What We Build

Business sites, WooCommerce, hospitality, membership, publishers, rebuilds, and white-label agency delivery — all on WordPress.

Business Websites

Clean, fast WordPress sites for service businesses, consultancies, professional firms, and local operators who need a credible online presence that generates enquiries. Built for performance from the first line of code — not retrofitted for speed after launch. Every build includes SEO foundations: clean URL structure, schema markup, sitemap, and Core Web Vitals optimisation before the site goes live.

WooCommerce Stores

eCommerce builds on WooCommerce — product catalogue architecture, checkout flow, payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal, local processors), and the performance work that keeps a WooCommerce store fast under real traffic. We build for conversion and for scale: category structures that support hundreds of products, product schema that earns rich results in Google, and checkout flows that don't leak customers at the payment step.

Hotel and Resort Websites

Your website is your highest-margin booking channel — if it's built to convert. We build WordPress sites for hotels, boutique resorts, and hospitality businesses that are fast, visually strong, and structured to push direct bookings ahead of OTA traffic. Integrated booking engines, room-type landing pages, seasonal campaign pages, and local SEO foundations — built and maintained by the same team managing the site long-term.

Membership and Course Sites

WordPress powers more membership sites and online course platforms than any other CMS — and for good reason. We build membership sites with gated content, user account management, recurring billing integration, and the editorial workflow stability that lets a small team publish without constant technical intervention. Compatible with MemberPress, LearnDash, Restrict Content Pro, and similar platforms.

Publisher and Content Sites

For editorial teams, bloggers, and content businesses where organic traffic is the growth engine, we build WordPress architectures that support efficient crawling, topical authority, and publishing at scale — without the technical debt that slows most content sites down after two years of growth.

Rebuilds and Migrations

If your current site is slow, built on a page builder that's become unmaintainable, or running on a WordPress theme from 2017 that's held together with plugin fixes — we rebuild it. Full audit of what you have, migration plan, clean rebuild, and a handover into maintenance so the problem doesn't repeat itself in three years.

White-Label Development for Agencies

If you're an agency delivering WordPress development to clients and need a reliable build partner operating under your brand, WPOPS works as your white-label development team. We build to your brief, you deliver to your client. No WPOPS branding, no client-facing communication, no conflict of interest. Ongoing maintenance white-labelled under your brand from the same point of handover.

We build exclusively on WordPress — not Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, or Showit
Staying in one platform means deep knowledge of the codebase, plugins, performance, and maintenance
We don't build sites we're not prepared to maintain
Every development engagement is scoped with a care plan transition in mind

Who we work with

Who We Work With

From solo operators to agencies and hospitality — builds that transition into care from launch day.

Small business

SMB

Small Business Owners

You need a site that looks professional, loads fast, and gets found on Google. You don't need to understand WordPress to use it after it's built. We handle the build, explain what we've done, and keep the site running on a care plan so you never have to call a developer every time a plugin update breaks something.

Hospitality

Local

Hotels, Resorts, and Hospitality Businesses

Your website should be working harder than your OTA listings. We build hospitality sites structured for direct bookings — fast load times on mobile, local SEO foundations, and dedicated campaign pages for seasonal offers — then maintain them so they stay competitive year-round.

Commerce

Store

WooCommerce Store Owners

If you're launching a new store or rebuilding an existing one, the architecture decisions made at build time determine how the store performs for years. We build WooCommerce stores for conversion and for search — then maintain them so plugin updates don't take down your checkout at 11pm on a Friday.

Education

Course

Course Creators and Membership Site Owners

You need a site that handles recurring billing, gated content, and an editorial workflow — without breaking every time WordPress releases an update. We build and maintain membership sites that run reliably in the background while you focus on the content and the community.

Partners

Agency

Agencies

Need a WordPress development partner who delivers reliably under your brand and transitions clients into white-label maintenance? WPOPS handles the build and the long-term care, you handle the client relationship. No surprises, no scope creep, no client-facing WPOPS branding.

How we build

How We Build

Performance First, Not Performance Last

Most sites get a speed audit after launch. By then, the architectural decisions that cause slow load times are already baked in. We start every build with performance requirements — target PageSpeed score, LCP budget, acceptable page weight — and make decisions against those targets throughout the build. Our clients average 94 PageSpeed scores. That's not a coincidence.

SEO Foundations at Build Time

A new site is the easiest point to implement SEO foundations correctly — clean permalink structure, proper heading hierarchy, schema markup, canonical tags, XML sitemap, robots.txt, and meta framework. We implement all of these before launch so you're not retrofitting SEO onto a site that wasn't built for it.

Built for the Team Running It

A WordPress site your team can't update confidently is a site that gets out of date. We build with Gutenberg or a maintainable page builder depending on editorial requirements, document the CMS for your team, and hand over a site that non-technical editors can update without breaking anything.

Maintained From Launch Day

Every site we build moves into a WPOPS care plan at launch — plugin updates tested before they hit live, daily backups, security monitoring, and uptime alerts from day one. No gap between "built" and "maintained." The site is protected from the moment it goes live.

How long does a WordPress website build take?
A standard business website takes 4–8 weeks from brief to launch — discovery, wireframes, build, content population, testing, and launch. WooCommerce stores and membership sites take longer depending on catalogue size, integrations, and content volume. Every project is scoped with a clear timeline before work starts.
Do I need to provide the content?
You provide the content — copy, images, and any existing brand assets. We structure and implement it. If you need copywriting support, we can scope that as part of the project or refer you to a copywriter we work with regularly.
What happens after the site launches?
Every site we build transitions into a WPOPS care plan at launch. Plugin updates, daily backups, security monitoring, and uptime alerts are active from day one. You're not left managing a new WordPress site on your own.
Can you migrate my existing site to WordPress?
Yes. We handle migrations from other platforms (Squarespace, Wix, Webflow) and rebuilds of existing WordPress sites that have become slow or unmaintainable. The migration includes a full audit of your current site, redirect mapping to preserve SEO equity, and a performance baseline before and after.
Do you build on Elementor or Gutenberg?
We use Gutenberg (the native WordPress block editor) as the default for most builds — it's faster, more maintainable, and better for long-term performance than most third-party page builders. For projects where a visual builder is genuinely needed, we assess on a case-by-case basis.
How is website development priced?
All projects are flat-fee, scoped after a discovery call. Pricing depends on site complexity, number of page templates, integrations required, and content volume. Get in touch and we'll scope it after a brief conversation about what you need.
