AI-Enabled Websites

WordPress Development Built for Performance and Growth

WordPress powers over 40% of the web. The difference between a site that drives growth and one that holds you back comes down to how it is built. EXPRE builds WordPress differently — optimised from the foundation with custom code, strategic plugin selection, and AI-powered capabilities.

Our WordPress Services

Off-the-shelf themes loaded with unnecessary code, poorly configured plugins creating security holes, shared hosting that buckles under traffic — most WordPress sites are underperforming before they launch. Every EXPRE WordPress build is optimised from the ground up.

Custom WordPress Themes

We build custom themes tailored to your brand and business requirements. No bloated multipurpose themes with features you will never use. Every line of code serves a purpose — faster load times, better security, and a site that does exactly what your business needs. We work with both traditional themes and the block editor.

WooCommerce Development

For online stores, we build WooCommerce solutions handling everything from small product catalogues to large-scale ecommerce operations. Custom product configurators, payment gateway integration, inventory management, shipping automation, and AI-powered product recommendations — every step of the purchase journey optimised for conversion.

AI-Enabled WordPress

This is where our approach differs. We integrate AI capabilities directly into your WordPress site: intelligent chatbots, AI-powered content recommendations, automated SEO monitoring, dynamic personalisation, and smart search. These are not bolt-on plugins — they are custom integrations built using n8n and our automation infrastructure.

WordPress Performance

We build for speed from day one. Server-side caching, CDN configuration, image optimisation, lazy loading, critical CSS rendering, and database optimisation are all part of our standard build process. Our WordPress sites consistently achieve 90+ PageSpeed scores and sub-2-second load times.

WordPress Security

Security is built into every layer: hardened WordPress core configuration, regular security audits, firewall implementation, malware monitoring, brute force protection, and secure backup strategies. We keep your site updated and patched without breaking functionality, and monitor for vulnerabilities continuously.

WordPress Migrations

Moving from another platform or an older WordPress setup, we handle the entire migration. Content transfer, URL mapping, redirect implementation, SEO preservation, and post-migration testing. We have migrated sites from Drupal, Joomla, Squarespace, Wix, and custom platforms to WordPress with zero loss of search rankings.

How We Build WordPress Sites

Every EXPRE WordPress project follows a structured process designed to deliver a site that performs commercially, not just technically.

1

Discovery and Planning

We start by understanding your business, your audience, and your objectives. This shapes everything from site architecture and content strategy to the technical stack and hosting environment. You receive a detailed project plan with clear milestones.

2

Design and Prototyping

Our design process starts with wireframes and moves through to full visual designs that you review and approve before we write a line of code. We design for mobile first, ensuring your site works well on every device your visitors use.

3

Development and Integration

We build your site on a staging environment where you can review progress at any time. Custom theme development, plugin configuration, AI feature integration, and third-party system connections are completed and tested before launch.

4

Testing and Launch

Before launch, every site goes through comprehensive testing: cross-browser compatibility, mobile responsiveness, performance benchmarks, security audits, SEO checks, and accessibility compliance. We handle DNS configuration, SSL setup, and monitoring during the critical first 48 hours.

5

Ongoing Support

Every website we build comes with our managed support. Continuous monitoring, proactive maintenance, security patching, and direct access to developers whenever you need them. A website is never truly finished.

WordPress Website Costs

WordPress website costs depend on complexity, features, and customisation level. As a guide for UK clients:

  • Starter websites (5–10 pages, standard design, basic functionality): from around £3,000 to £5,000
  • Business websites (10–30 pages, custom design, AI features, SEO setup): from £5,000 to £15,000
  • Ecommerce and enterprise sites (WooCommerce, complex integrations, AI automation): from £15,000 upward

Every project is different and we provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific requirements. We do not believe in hidden costs or scope creep. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a WordPress website take to build?
A typical business website takes 6 to 10 weeks from kick-off to launch. Simpler sites can be delivered in 4 weeks, while complex ecommerce or enterprise projects may take 12 to 16 weeks. We provide a clear timeline during planning and keep you updated throughout.
Can you work with Divi, Elementor, or other page builders?
Yes. We work with Divi, Elementor, and Gutenberg blocks, depending on what best suits your needs and your team’s content management capabilities. We also build fully custom themes when a page builder is not the right fit. We recommend the best approach for your project.
Do you build headless WordPress sites?
Yes. For projects that need headless architecture, we build WordPress as a backend CMS with a decoupled front-end using Next.js or similar frameworks. This delivers superior performance and flexibility while keeping the content management experience familiar.
Will my WordPress site be fast?
Performance is a core part of our build process. Our WordPress sites consistently score 90+ on PageSpeed Insights and load in under 2 seconds. We achieve this through clean code, proper hosting, caching, image optimisation, and a focus on eliminating unnecessary weight.
What about WordPress hosting?
We recommend and manage hosting solutions tailored to your site requirements and traffic levels. We work with providers like Cloudways, Kinsta, and WP Engine, as well as custom cloud setups on AWS and Google Cloud for larger projects. Hosting management is included in our support plans.
Can you redesign my existing WordPress site?
Yes. We regularly redesign existing WordPress sites, preserving content and SEO equity while delivering a modern design, better performance, and new capabilities. We audit your current site first to understand what is working and what needs to change.
