The Workhorse Of The Web

We were building custom sites before WordPress existed.

Custom themes, never templatesWooCommerceHeadless WordPressSpeed & security

WordPress powers a huge share of the web, and done properly it's still a brilliant choice: your team can edit everything, the ecosystem is mature, and it plays well with the tools you already use. The catch is in those two words - done properly.

Most WordPress sites are a purchased theme bent out of shape, forty plugins deep, slow and one bad update away from breaking. Ours are the opposite: a custom theme designed from a blank canvas around your customers, a lean plugin stack chosen deliberately, and SEO-ready structure built in from the first wireframe.

Need WordPress editing with static-site speed? We build headless. Prefer a visual editor your team already knows? We build custom and lean in Elementor or Beaver Builder, so editing doesn't mean breaking. Selling online? WooCommerce, engineered around the purchase.

And because WordPress needs looking after, we do that too - hosting, hardening, updates and backups, all in-house.

What's Included

The full WordPress toolkit.

The WordPress services from our full catalogue, delivered by one team with one point of contact.

01

Custom WordPress Design & Build

A theme designed from scratch around your business - not a template bent out of shape. Lean, fast, secure and exactly on-design.

02

WooCommerce

WordPress-native eCommerce with conversion-first product pages, friction-free checkout and the product SEO most stores never get.

03

Headless WordPress

Keep the editing experience your team knows, serve it through a blazing-fast modern front end. WordPress content, static-site speed, top Core Web Vitals.

04

Elementor & Beaver Builder

Page-builder sites without the page-builder bloat. Custom design, lean builds, and editing your team can do without breaking things.

05

WordPress Speed Optimisation

Every second of load time costs conversions and rankings. We profile what's slowing your site down and engineer it fast.

WordPress Care, Security & Hosting

Hardening, monitoring, updates and automatic offsite backups - so a bad update or a hack is an inconvenience, not a catastrophe.

WordPress, straight answers.

Ask A Question

For the right business, absolutely - especially when your team needs to edit content easily, your site is content-heavy, or you're invested in the WordPress ecosystem. We're platform-agnostic, so if another stack would genuinely serve you better, we'll say so before you spend a cent.

Never. Every Balar WordPress site is a custom theme designed from a blank canvas around your customers. Purchased themes carry code for a thousand businesses that aren't yours - that's where the bloat, the slowness and the security holes come from.

Usually some mix of a heavy theme, plugin sprawl, unoptimised images and cheap hosting. We profile exactly what's dragging, then fix it - and when we build from scratch, the site is lean from day one.

Yes. Emergency fixes, hack cleanups, speed work and ongoing care are all services we run on sites we didn't build. We'll audit it first and tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing or smarter to rebuild.

Yes - that's half the point of WordPress. We build for easy, safe editing and walk your team through it. If you'd rather never touch it, our care plans cover content updates too.

Hardening at build time, a deliberately small plugin stack, managed updates, monitoring and automatic offsite backups. WordPress security is mostly discipline - and it's discipline we've had 20+ years to build.

WordPress is one way we build - here's the wider picture.
