Why us

WordPress specialists on your side, helping you do what you do best.

We've been running WordPress sites for marketing teams, professional services, and growing businesses for 16 years. We know what breaks, what works, and what's worth your money.

Updates done by hand, not by script

Every WordPress, theme, and plugin update reviewed by a real person before it goes live. Held back if known-bad. Sequenced carefully. Checked after. It's slower for us. It's why your website doesn't break.

Hosting, handled for you

We pick the right premium WordPress host for your website and run the account on your behalf. No provider invoices, no dashboards, no support queues to argue with. One invoice from us, hosting bundled in.

£300+ saved in essential premium plugins

Essential plugins every business website needs: SEO, contact forms, page builder or theme, performance caching, and content management. Covered for you where you use them.

Clear monthly status reports

An answer to "how's the website doing?" in a 2 minute monthly report in plain English. Uptime, security, performance, analytics, and improvement breakdowns.

Getting started

FAQs

The questions clients usually ask.

Why is this more than a cheaper host or a freelancer?
We cost more to run. A bargain host costs £5 a month and uses auto-updaters that quietly break sites at the worst possible moment. A solo freelancer is brilliant when they're free, unavailable when something breaks at 4pm on a Friday. We sit in between: a team, on premium infrastructure, with manual updates and real coverage. You're paying for the bit that doesn't let you down when it matters.
Do you work with our existing developer or agency?
Yes, and a lot of our clients run exactly that setup. The care plan handles the running of your website: hosting, security, updates, monitoring, and monthly reporting. Your existing team stays on design, content, marketing, and bigger development pieces. We slot in around what you've already got, we don't replace it. For the small support work that keeps things ticking (content edits, tweaks, the questions that come up), many clients pair their care plan with a support retainer.
How does the hosting work? Am I on your servers?
We don't run our own data centre. We pick a premium WordPress host that suits your website (today: Rocket.net or Kinsta; legacy managed-hosting accounts remain on 20i) and we run the account on your behalf. The account is in our name, we deal with the provider, and hosting is bundled into your Care Plan invoice. You don't get hosting invoices or, by default, dashboard access (access is available on request, but most clients don't want it). We can tell you which provider we're using at any time, and we choose at our discretion which one fits your website best.
What if I'm on a different host?
No problem. You can keep your current host and we'll manage the website there. Or, if you'd like to consolidate, we'll move your website onto the hosting we run during onboarding: free if your website fits within standard plan limits, additional billable cost if it needs more. Whichever way you go, nothing has to break in the meantime.
Can I move between tiers?
Yes. Move up or down with 30 days' notice, pro-rated so you only pay for the level you're on. If your needs change, the plan changes with you. No awkward conversations, no penalties.
My website is built on a non-standard stack (Bricks, Oxygen, multisite, headless).
Our standard tiers are priced for single-site WordPress.org with mainstream page builders. Non-standard setups usually need a tailored quote at onboarding, not because we won't take them on, but because the work involved is different. Tell us what you've got and we'll talk you through it.
What if I want to leave? Do I keep my website?
30 days' notice, either side, no fuss. Your website is yours: files, configuration, and any custom development we've done all transfer cleanly to wherever you're going. We'll provide a full backup, transfer the domain (if it's registered through us), and hand hosting over without drama. We'd rather earn your business each month than trap you in a contract.

Let's run your WordPress website properly.

Book a 30-minute discovery call and we'll talk through what your website needs, what tier suits, and what onboarding would look like. No prep needed, bring your URL and we'll do the rest.
