WordPress isn’t just a platform; it’s the backbone of the internet, powering over 42% of websites worldwide!
We’ve been crafting websites since 1995 and are committed to long term partnerships with our clients. When you collaborate with us, you gain access to a seasoned team of designers and web developers dedicated to your success in the long run.
WordPress is popular because it meets the demands of many users with its flexible framework, which allows us to create and modify layouts and applications. Coupled with an established marketplace of third party extensions, functionality can be added to your website quickly and cost effectively.
It integrates with practically any third-party service – CRM, eCommerce, marketing automation tools – if it has an API, WordPress can talk to it.
Our team has extensive experience extending WordPress functionality, as well as incorporating a wide range of plugins, to meet our clients’ unique demands.
With such a huge market share, WordPress is one of the most scrutinised codebases on the web. It benefits from a community of developers and security experts who are constantly testing every version of the software and responsibly reporting security fixes.
WordPress as a platform is committed to being as inclusive and accessible as possible. The WordPress project has a dedicated accessibility team that continually works to improve WordPress with the aim to make the WordPress Admin and bundled themes fully WCAG 2.0 AA compliant.
Before WordPress became a popular CMS for website development, it was developed for non-tech savvy bloggers. This means that most of the user-interface components are easy to use, with a clean and uncomplicated dashboard that’s friendly even to a web novice.
Our team handles all the complexities of setting up and customising your website; all you have to do is to update the content on pages, posts, images, videos etc.
WordPress makes it easier for customers to find you with its series of out-the-box SEO friendly features and intuitive, powerful content creation capabilities.
When you combine that with our Search Engine Optimisation services, your website will benefit from sustainable growth in search engine visibility meaning more traffic and more sales.
WordPress incurs fewer setup, customisation, and maintenance costs in comparison to other open source CMSs like Drupal and Joomla. You don’t get locked down by a static website or proprietary CMS that is costly to tweak after initial development.
This is just a small representation of some of the services our expert WordPress developers can offer you and your business.
For help with any of these services, or to tell us what you want to achieve, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

This phase involves understanding your business, objectives, target audience, and specific requirements for the website. These discussions and further research help us gather further information needed to create a strategic plan for the project.
At this stage we outline the website’s features, functionalities, content needs, and technical requirements based on the plan produced. This phase will involve creating user personas, defining user journeys, and outlining the site’s architecture.
Our inhouse team of designers create wireframes and mockups that visualise the website’s layout, structure, and overall look. This step allows for client feedback and iteration before finalising the design. It includes aspects such as branding, typography, imagery, and overall user interface design.
Once the design is approved, our front end developers start building the website in HTML and CSS.This phase involves building responsive layouts, integrating functionalities, and ensuring the site works across different devices and browsers. Our backend development focuses on crafting the core features of the site utilising plugins, and custom code to enhance the site’s performance, security, and user experience.
This stage involves adding the content, including text, images, videos, and other media. This step ensures that the content aligns with the design and enhances the overall user experience.
All our websites undergo rigorous testing to identify and fix any bugs, errors, or usability issues. This includes functionality testing, compatibility testing across browsers and devices, and performance optimisation to ensure the site loads quickly.
After thorough testing and client approval, the website is ready for launch. We will take the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition from the development environment to the live website, including domain setup, hosting, and any required configurations.
Even after the website is live we offer industry leading care packages and ongoing support. This includes monitoring the site’s performance, implementing updates, addressing any issues that arise, and offering maintenance services to keep the site secure and up-to-date.

WordPress developer fees will vary dramatically depending on what type of project and what level of expertise you need to deliver it. A freelance WordPress developer may be available for as little as £20 per hour and may be appropriate for simple websites, using off the shelf themes and plugins.
Finding the right freelancer for more custom or complicated could be challenging and significantly more expensive. And for such projects, a WordPress expert such as Kanuka Digital may be more appropriate.
Broadly, there are two approaches used by most agencies. Fixed cost projects may be possible where the requirements and time / resource required is known at the start of the project. In this case, a new WordPress site would start around £10,000. However, the customisation options within WordPress allow for significantly more complex and therefore expensive projects. Alternatively, blocks of development hours can be purchased in advance. Most agencies will charge between £85 and £100 per hour for development.

WordPress powers 43% of all websites globally. With that many websites, it’s no surprise that there are an incredible number of people who can help develop your WordPress site. The first step in choosing the right one for your needs is to work to your budget.
WordPress development fees will vary dramatically depending on what type of project and what level of expertise you need to deliver it. A freelance WordPress developer may be available for as little as £20 per hour and may be appropriate for simple websites, using off the shelf themes and plugins. Whereas a more complex site is better delivered through an expert WordPress agency such as Kanuka Digital and would start from £10,000. It is often best to get a recommendation from someone you trust who has already had a good experience.
If that is not an option, sites such as Upwork.com allow you to select a WordPress developer based on their reviews, hourly rate and previous projects. As a third party platform, this provides a greater element of safety.
For more complex projects, a WordPress expert such as Kanuka Digital may be more appropriate. It can be harder to select a reliable WordPress development agency. But in general, it is useful to look out for things such as industry accreditations or standards accreditations. Kanuka Digital are Platinum Certified WooCommerce Experts and Certified LearnDash Experts, both of which are core to the WordPress ecosystem and are also ISO90001 and ISO270001 registered.

Yes and no. There are a wide range of WordPress plugins which can be used at no cost and plenty more which range in price. The cost generally reflects the usefulness or popularity of the plugin, so for the most part, the more expensive plugins are well regarded. The simplest way to start is to browse the approved plugins on the WordPress site: https://wordpress.com/plugins.
However with so much choice, it can be tempting to add many plugins to your WordPress site. While not a bad idea in itself your site will slow down, the more plugins you add. So it is important to ensure you only install the plugins which you need, that you remove any you no longer need, and you look for ways to use one plugin instead of two.
In addition, some plugins work better together than others. So if you are using many plugins on your site, it is worth getting the advice of an expert such as Kanuka Digital to ensure your use of plugins is optimally balanced to give you the best functionality, at the best cost, while keeping your site running smoothly and quickly for your visitors.
Yes and no. There are a wide range of WordPress themes which can be used at no cost and plenty more which range in price.
The cost generally reflects the usefulness or popularity of the theme, so for the most part, the more expensive themes are well regarded.
The simplest way to start is to browse the approved themes on the WordPress site: https://wordpress.com/themes.
Kanuka Digital specialise in creating custom themes and can create any end result you might need, either by extending an existing theme, or by building a bespoke theme from scratch.
Which approach you take depends entirely on what you need from your WordPress experience, both now and in the future.
While a simple theme may suit your needs now, if your site experience needs to do something which the theme does not allow, then custom code will be required, and often, a replacement of the theme.
So if you have grand plans for your WordPress site, it is best to get the advice of a WordPress expert such as Kanuka Digital. We can help guide you towards a solution which best suits your needs.

The most common are to add the WooCommerce plugin to turn your website into an eCommerce store, sell advertising space on your site (if you are lucky enough to have high traffic) or to earn commission by recommending products and services of other websites and linking through to them.
On the eCommerce side, there are several different types of eCommerce functionality you can make use of. You can sell products of course, but also sell access to site content through a subscription or pay per use paywall, or even sell access to eLearning content through a Learning Management System like LearnDash.
