// Our story[ since 2024 ]

We built the agency
we'd have hired.

Too many businesses had been burned by agencies quoting vague day-rates, delivering sites that felt like re-skinned templates, and disappearing after launch. We set out to build the opposite.

Every WPDA project starts with a written technical specification — what we're building, how it works, what the acceptance criteria are. You approve it before we write a single line of code. This protects you from scope creep and protects us from moving goalposts.

Every project ends with a fixed price met, a 30-day support window, and code committed to your repository. Everything documented. Nothing proprietary. No dependency on us to keep it running.

"We don't take on projects we can't deliver at the price we quoted. It's a simple rule that most agencies break."

// How we're different[ 3 comparisons ]

Not an agency. Not a freelancer. Something better.

vs. big agencies

No account managers between you and the work

Large agencies bill by the hour, hand your project through layers of account managers and developers you'll never meet, then charge separately for every email. WPDA gives you one point of contact — the person who's actually building your site. Direct communication, same-day responses, work you can review weekly.

vs. freelancers

Agency rigour, freelancer directness

Freelancers offer lower day-rates but the risk is entirely yours — no contract, no specification, variable quality and no one to call when they go dark. WPDA brings freelancer-level directness with agency-level process: written specs, version control, documented handovers and 30 days of included support after every launch.

vs. DIY builders

Built for performance, not for clicking around

Wix, Squarespace and Elementor are fine for hobby projects. When you need a site that ranks in search, converts visitors and handles technical complexity — custom post types, API integrations, WooCommerce at scale — you need developers. We build what page builders can't.

Every service we offer

From a single hardening audit to a full headless WordPress build — fixed prices on everything.

// FAQ

Common questions about working with WPDA

Where are you based and do you work with clients outside Manchester?

We're based in Manchester and work with businesses across the UK — from London to Edinburgh. All discovery calls are over Zoom, project updates happen on a shared staging URL, and day-to-day communication is via Slack or email. The process is fully remote and identical for every client.

How does WPDA price its projects?

Every WPDA project is fixed price. You receive a written quote before any work begins — the price in that document is the price you pay. We don't bill hourly, we don't add line items for extra emails or scope questions, and we don't charge for the 30-day post-launch support window that comes with every project.

What is your typical project timeline?

Website design and build projects typically complete in four to six weeks. WooCommerce stores run five to eight weeks depending on catalogue size and integrations. Headless WordPress projects are scoped individually but most run eight to twelve weeks. All timelines are confirmed in the written specification before build begins.

What happens after my site launches?

Every project includes a 30-day post-launch support window at no extra charge. Any issue that surfaces within 30 days of launch is fixed immediately. After 30 days, most clients move onto a monthly WordPress care plan, which covers ongoing updates, security monitoring, uptime alerts and priority support.

Do you only work with WordPress?

Yes. WordPress is all we do — custom themes, WooCommerce, headless WordPress with Next.js, Elementor Pro, WordPress SEO and ongoing maintenance. Specialising in one platform means deeper expertise, faster builds and better outcomes than a generalist agency trying to cover ten different platforms.

What size of business do you work with?

We work with independent businesses, SMEs and growing brands across the UK — typically companies at the stage where the website is a meaningful commercial asset, not a business card. That ranges from sole traders launching their first proper online presence to established businesses replacing an underperforming agency site.
