What we provide for you with our Web development service.
A very short take on
WordPress CMS
Manage your own site easily with our CMS of choice; WordPress. More than 40% of all active sites on the net today are built with WordPress. We place our custom designs, content and code on top of WordPress to give you ultimate control.
Custom code
Your business isn’t a 1:1 copy of someone else’s… Every business is different, so we build custom code into every site; from CSS & Javascript, to HTML & PHP and more, we make sure you get the perfectly tailored website with custom written code.
Premium Software
We take a hybrid approach to web development; Alongside our own code, we use CSS frameworks and specialised plugins to achieve consistency and functionality in weeks that would otherwise take months. Every site we build contains £1000s worth of premium software, from highly respected development houses.

Frequently asked questions
We've answered our most commonly asked questions here. If you still have any questions, just give us a shout.
Ask us, instead:
We'll send you an email with the answer and ask if we can help with anything. That's all.
If you don't respond, we won't hound you with hundreds of emails. That's not our bag.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Before we answer that one, a quick heads up: Generally, when we’re talking about web design or web development, we’re actually talking about both services combined with our discovery service, as a single package.
In answer to your question; Web design focuses on the aesthetic and user experience aspects of a website, crafting visually appealing layouts and interfaces.
Web development, on the other hand, involves constructing the backbone of the website, including coding, server-side operations, and database management, to bring the design to life and make it functional.Just as you have architects and construction managers, so do you have web design and web development.
What types of web development services do you offer?
We offer a comprehensive range of web development services, including front-end and back-end development, custom code creation (CSS, JavaScript, HTML, PHP), API integration, full-stack development, eCommerce solutions, and CMS integration (WordPress).
The vast majority of our work is done on top of the WordPress platform, allowing for a fast development cycle, complex functionality, and easy updates by you or your team.
Do you provide custom web development?
Yes, every business is unique, so we build custom code into every site. This includes custom CSS, JavaScript, HTML, PHP, and more. We tailor our development to meet your specific needs and goals, ensuring a perfectly tailored website.
What platform do you use for web development?
We primarily use WordPress due to its flexibility, user-friendliness, and extensive plugin ecosystem. Over 40% of all active sites on the internet today are built on WordPress. This allows you to manage your own site easily while benefiting from our custom designs and code.
Can you integrate third-party services into my website?
Yup, no problem. We specialize in seamless API integration and management, allowing your website to connect with a wide range of third-party services to expand its capabilities. This includes payment gateways, booking systems, CRM tools, and more.
How do you ensure my website is optimized for performance?
We run all our websites up against Google’s Pagespeed insights tool, which effectively benchmarks a website for its performance. If you’re interested in how well we score; take a look
We ensure all our sites gain the same kind of scores, so you can relax.
What kind of support do you offer after the website is launched?
We provide ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure your website remains up-to-date, secure, and fully functional. This includes regular updates, bug fixes, performance optimizations, and technical support.
However it’s important to us that you are never tethered to us. You’ll be able to update all the important parts of the website yourself, and you’ll own the website in its entirety, so you’re not locked in.
How do I update content on my website?
Our websites are built with user-friendly content management systems (CMS), primarily WordPress, which allows you to easily update content, images, and other elements without needing technical expertise. We also provide training and support to help you get started.
What if I need specific functionalities for my website?
We can develop custom plugins and features to meet your specific needs. Whether you need complex calculation forms, multilingual support, secure client portals, or Progressive Web App (PWA) features, our team can build these functionalities from the ground up.
Do you provide eCommerce development services?
Yes, we offer custom eCommerce solutions that enhance your online store’s user experience, streamline the purchasing process, and increase conversion rates. Our eCommerce designs are tailored to meet your specific needs and integrate seamlessly with your existing systems.
How long does the web development process take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity and specific requirements of your project. Generally, it takes between 8 to 16 weeks from the initial consultation to the launch of the website. We provide a detailed timeline after the discovery phase.
How do you handle website scalability?
We build modular and scalable architectures that support your growth ambitions, making future enhancements a piece of cake. Our development practices ensure that your website can handle increased traffic and expanded functionalities without compromising performance.
How do I get started with Wicked Pixel’s web development service?
