How we approach wordpress development edinburgh
A digital agency that builds the site and knows how to get it found
1
Step 1: Scope, sitemap and design direction
We start by mapping the pages you need, the actions you want visitors to take, and how the site will be maintained after launch. From there we agree a sitemap and design direction so the build is planned before any code is written. This is also where we decide between a tailored theme build and a block-based editor setup your team can manage.

Step 2: Custom build, not a stock template
We develop the site in WordPress with clean, structured templates rather than a heavy off-the-shelf theme loaded with features you will never use. Each page type is built to match your content and brand, and the editor is set up so non-technical staff can update text, images and pages without breaking the layout. We keep plugins to what the site genuinely needs.

Step 3: Content, migration and on-page SEO
We move existing pages, posts and media across, set up redirects for changed URLs, and put titles, meta descriptions and heading structure in order so search rankings are protected. New copy is written to be useful to real readers first. This step matters most when you are moving from an older site or another platform.

Step 4: Speed, security and staging review
Before launch we test the site on a staging URL, check it on phones and desktop, tune page speed, and lock down logins, backups and updates. You review the staging site and sign off, then we push it live and confirm forms, tracking and key pages all work. We can keep maintaining the site afterwards or hand over full access.

You get a real scope, a staging site to review, and honest answers about timelines and what a project needs.
Custom WordPress builds with a clean editor your own team can update, not a locked template you have to pay to change
Founded in 2016, working across SEO, PPC, social, content, e-commerce and web, so the build is planned with search and conversions in mind
Content migration done carefully, with redirects in place so existing Google rankings are not lost in the move
Staging review and sign-off before launch, plus optional ongoing maintenance for updates, backups and security
Real questions people ask Dcrayons about wordpress development edinburgh. Honest answers, no jargon.
Cost depends on the number of pages, whether you need a custom design or a refined template, and whether the site includes features like e-commerce, bookings or multilingual content. A small brochure site is far less than a large e-commerce build. We scope your project against your actual requirements and give you a fixed quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
A straightforward brochure site usually takes a few weeks, while larger sites with e-commerce, custom templates or content migration take longer. The biggest variable is how quickly content, images and feedback come back during the project. We agree a timeline at the start and keep you updated as the build moves through design, development and staging review.
Yes. We build the site so your team can edit text, swap images and add pages without touching code or breaking the layout. We hand over login access and can run a short walkthrough so your staff are comfortable making everyday changes. If you would rather not manage it, we also offer ongoing maintenance.
It does not have to, as long as the migration is done properly. We map old URLs to new ones, set up redirects, carry over titles and meta data, and keep your page structure search-friendly so existing rankings are protected. Most ranking drops after a redesign come from skipping these steps, which is exactly what we plan for.
Yes. We can set up reliable hosting and handle backups, plugin and core updates, security checks and small content changes on an ongoing basis. You can also keep your own hosting and use us only for support if you prefer. We will recommend a setup that fits the size and traffic of your site.
Yes. We build e-commerce sites on WooCommerce, which runs on WordPress and supports products, payments, shipping and stock management. We set up the checkout, payment gateways and tax and delivery rules for your business, and structure product pages so they can rank in search. The same site can combine your shop with regular content pages.
