Eight ways we build and look after WordPress

Each is a service with a published starting price. Most projects combine two or three.

02 / SEO-first build

Most agencies add SEO after launch. We start with it.

A redesign is the easiest way to lose traffic you already have. These checks are part of every build — not an add-on.

01 · Before designNothing ranks by accident
  • Search Console, analytics and backlink baseline saved
  • Every URL with traffic or links listed
  • Redirect map agreed before wireframes
  • A page and keyword plan for each template
  • Pages that rank are kept — not rewritten by default
02 · During buildSEO is in the templates
  • Semantic HTML and one H1 per page
  • Structured data filled from real fields
  • Images in modern formats, sized per screen
  • No plugin without a reason; scripts deferred
  • Staging site closed to search engines
03 · Launch and afterChecked on the live site
  • Every 301 tested: one hop, 200 at the target
  • robots.txt, sitemaps and canonicals verified
  • Analytics and conversion events firing
  • Sitemap submitted, key URLs inspected
  • Daily checks against the baseline for 30 days
03 / Speed

Fast for real users, measured the way Google measures

Core Web Vitals are judged on real visits: a page passes when 75% of visits meet the “good” threshold. We set a budget per template and test against it before every release.

Site speed optimization · from $[X] /project →
LCPGood ≤ 2.5 sLargest Contentful PaintHow fast the main content appears.Usual causes on WordPress: Oversized hero images, slow hosting, render-blocking CSS
INPGood ≤ 200 msInteraction to Next PaintHow fast the page responds to taps and clicks.Usual causes on WordPress: Unoptimised page-builder layouts, chat widgets, tag managers
CLSGood ≤ 0.1Cumulative Layout ShiftHow much the layout jumps while loading.Usual causes on WordPress: Images without sizes, late banners, web fonts
04 / How a build runs

Six steps, one team, no surprises at launch.

You see the site on staging every week. Nothing goes live without your approval and a rollback plan.

07 / Questions

Questions about WordPress development

TopClick SEO strategist
Still choosing?Book a 20-min call with a strategist. No pitch, just a look at your site.Book a call →
01Do you use page builders like Elementor?

Yes — Elementor, Divi, or a custom theme with our own blocks. A custom theme is usually faster and lighter; a builder is easier for some teams to edit. We help you choose, and keep either one fast.

02Who owns the site?

You do. The code sits in your repository, the hosting and every account are in your name, and we work as users with access you can remove.

03Will a redesign hurt our rankings?

Some movement for a few weeks is normal. With a baseline saved, a redirect map agreed before design and 30 days of checks after launch, most sites hold or grow their traffic.

04How long does a new site take?

It depends on templates, content and integrations — see the table above. You get a dated plan with the proposal, before work starts.

05Does the European Accessibility Act apply to us?

It has applied since 28 June 2025 to many online shops and consumer services sold in the EU; microenterprises providing services are exempt. We design and test templates against WCAG and tell you where the law likely applies — your lawyer confirms it.

06Can you work with our developers or agency?

Yes. We can build and hand over, review their work for SEO and speed, or build white-label for agencies.

07Can you maintain a site you didn’t build?

Yes. We start with an audit of the code, plugins and hosting, then move it onto a care plan.

08Do you build headless or multisite?

Yes — headless WordPress with a Next.js front end, and multisite networks for several brands or markets. Classic WordPress is often the simpler choice, and we say so when it is.
