Our go to platform we website development is WordPress. Why? Because it is the most flexible and widely extended platform available. There are literally thousands of off the shelf plugins that provide so much extra functionality that we can implement.
But sometimes there is a requirement that even that large library cannot cater for, and that is why we provide a bespoke development service as well.
Our primary platform for websites is WordPress, because it provides an awful lot ‘out of the box’. It is also easy to work with to add extra functionality. But there are some things to bear in mind…
Upfront you need to think about what your user experience involves and how you wish it to respond.
No problem! We work with a number of different platforms and technologies to create bespoke solutions for our clients.
Cost vs convenience – is always the main consideration. We can use WordPress to build solutions quickly and with a low cost, but there are limitations. Non-Wordpress solutions may take longer and cost more.
Other platforms we have developed on include:

We start by having a detailed planning call to go through all of the requirements for your bespoke functionality. We will walk through each scenario, identifying what the end user needs to be able to do and discussing ways in which this can be achieved.
Next we will do some research. You never know, there maybe solutions that already exist, or slihghtly different ways to do things.
This will then lead to the specification of how we will implement the requirement and we will document all of this in a scope of work, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Once we have an agreed scope, we will set about developing your new functionality on a test site where you can test it. Once you are satisfied, we will release the work to your website to test in ‘live’ and make any final changes.
Then, when you’re ready, it can be released onto your website ready to use!
With bespoke solutions we highly recommend a period of live testing before full launch, to make sure everything is running smoothly. If you can get some real users onboard as early users to test it in real scenarios then this is ideal.
Remember – there are always little teething issues with bespoke solutions so you want to find and fix these before you launch it to the world. Allow a small budget and timescale for this phase of fine tuning.
Our hourly rate includes any project management and testing time that will be needed as part of the project, so you won’t find any added extras.
Once we have agreed the scope of the project then we will book it in and get it delivered.
