Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose WordPress for my website?
Why work with a WordPress specialist instead of an agency?
Agencies often spread their attention across multiple projects and teams. As a specialist, I work with you directly — no account managers or hand-offs. That means clearer communication, faster turnaround, and a more personal approach. You also avoid the overheads that come with agency pricing, while still getting experienced, high-quality work.
How do I avoid being locked into a web agency?
The key is transparency and flexibility. I build all my sites in WordPress with widely supported plugins, not proprietary systems. You’ll own your website, your hosting, and your domain from day one. If you ever want to move providers, your site can go with you. That way, you’re in control — not locked into ongoing contracts you don’t need.
Can I update my website myself once it’s live?
Yes. All my builds use WordPress’s block editor, which makes it simple to update content, add new pages, or refresh images. I’ll give you a walkthrough so you feel confident making changes yourself, and I’m always on hand if you’d like ongoing support.
Is WordPress secure enough for my business?
Absolutely. With the right setup, WordPress is very secure. I use trusted themes, plugins, and best practices around updates, backups, and hosting. I’ll also make sure your site is protected with SSL, firewall rules, and strong user permissions.
How long does it take to build a WordPress site?
Most projects take between 4–8 weeks depending on scope and content readiness. A simple brochure site can be ready in under a month, while larger projects with custom features may take longer. I’ll always give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do you provide hosting and ongoing support?
Yes. I can recommend fast, reliable WordPress hosting that fits your needs. I also offer hosting, maintenance and support packages if you’d like me to handle updates, backups, and security monitoring so you can focus on your business.
What are the benefits of a low-code approach with WordPress?
A low-code build means faster development, lower costs, and fewer technical headaches. Using WordPress blocks and modern design tools, I can create a bespoke site that looks and feels unique while avoiding the heavy maintenance of custom code. The result is a professional site you can update yourself, without needing to pay a developer every time.
