WordPress Design & Development

WordPress powers a huge share of the web, and for good reason — it's flexible, well-supported, and easy to manage once it's set up properly. We design and build custom WordPress sites, not off-the-shelf theme installs.

We build WordPress sites from the ground up around your actual needs, rather than starting from a bloated pre-built theme full of features you'll never use. The result is a faster, cleaner, more secure site.

What's Included

  • Custom WordPress theme development
  • Plugin selection and configuration (kept lean, not bloated)
  • Speed and performance optimisation
  • Security hardening for WordPress specifically
  • Training so your team can manage content confidently

Why Choose AWE Media

  • Decades of WordPress experience, since its early days.
  • We build custom, not "install a theme and call it done."
  • Ongoing WordPress maintenance plans available.
  • Global reach — supporting WordPress sites across the UK, Europe, and Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just use a pre-built WordPress theme?
Pre-built themes often come loaded with unused features that slow your site down and create security risks. A custom build gives you only what you actually need.
Can you fix or improve an existing WordPress site?
Yes — we regularly take over WordPress sites built by others, clean them up, and improve performance and security.
Do you offer ongoing WordPress support?
Yes, through our maintenance plans — covering updates, backups, and monitoring.
