WordPress Website Design

We've spent 17 years building WordPress websites. We know the platform inside out, which means your site works properly from day one.

WordPress specialists, not generalists

We’ve specialised in WordPress since 2009. When a project needs Shopify, Drupal, Laravel or Next.js, we build in those too. WordPress is still where most of our 500+ sites live, so we know it inside out and nobody learns on your project.

Every project starts with your business and goals. Then we design and build a custom WordPress site around them. The result is a website built around your business, not a template with your logo pasted on.

We design for your customers and for you. A website that converts visitors, and that your team can manage.

Why we build on WordPress

WordPress powers more than 40% of the web, but that's not why we use it.

WordPress is for businesses that want real control

You're a good fit if you recognise yourself here.

  • You've outgrown your current platform

    Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow restrictions are limiting what your business can do online.

  • You want to update content yourself

    Your team should be able to make changes without calling a developer every time.

  • You need custom functionality

    Membership areas, booking systems, integrations with business tools. WordPress handles it.

  • You're planning for growth

    Your site needs to scale with your business, not hold it back.

  • You care about performance

    Page speed, SEO, and user experience matter to your bottom line.

  • You want a long-term partner

    Not a one-off project, but a team that supports you after launch too.

Our WordPress development process

Six stages. You approve each one before the next starts.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We learn your business, audience, and goals before making any technical decisions.

  2. 02

    Planning

    Site architecture, wireframes, and feature specs are locked down before design begins.

  3. 03

    Design

    Visual design focused on guiding visitors toward an enquiry. Two rounds of revisions on the homepage and two on the inner pages, and you approve everything before we build.

  4. 04

    Development

    Clean WordPress code built for speed, security, and flexibility. Your team can manage it.

  5. 05

    Testing

    Thorough testing across devices, browsers, and real user scenarios.

  6. 06

    Launch and Support

    Supported go-live with training and documentation. Care plans from $147 a month.

Custom WordPress websites, not templates

Six kinds of site we build most often.

  • Marketing and lead generation sites

    Clear, fast, conversion-focused. Designed to attract prospects and guide them toward action.

  • Corporate and professional websites

    Complex information, multiple stakeholders, strict branding. WordPress handles this better than most platforms.

  • Membership and portal sites

    Secure login areas, content restriction, user management, custom workflows. Custom functionality when needed.

  • Ecommerce and WooCommerce stores

    Product catalogues, shopping carts, payment processing, inventory management. WordPress powers real stores.

  • Multi-site installations

    Centralised management for organisations running multiple websites. Shared resources, consistent branding.

  • Custom integrations

    Connect WordPress to your business systems. CRM, marketing automation, payment gateways, inventory, and more.

The numbers behind the work

  • 500+ WordPress websites delivered

    All built in-house. No outsourcing.

  • 17 Years on WordPress

    Since 2009

  • 4.9 Rated on Google

    From client reviews

  • Have a project in mind?

Built for the people who run it

Most of a website's life happens after launch. We design the editing side as carefully as the pages your visitors see.

  • Editors, not developers

    Your team gets content blocks built for your pages, labelled in plain English. Adding a case study or a new location takes minutes, needs no developer and can't break the layout.

  • Built to outlast the launch

    Standard WordPress, documented code, every change in Git. Expat Living still runs on the build we delivered in 2017. If you ever change agencies, the next team can pick it up.

Who should build your WordPress site?

A freelancer

Often the cheapest option, and good ones exist. The risk is that everything rests on one person. If they’re busy, ill or move on, your site waits.

A page-builder agency

Quick to launch, because the site is assembled from a template and builder layouts. It’s harder to move off later, and support is usually a separate contract.

Chillybin

Designers, developers and a project manager, all in-house, with 500+ WordPress sites since 2009. You get a custom theme, documented and in Git, and care plans from $147 a month after launch.

Built on tools we trust

We've refined this stack over 17 years. Each tool is here because we'd be comfortable supporting it in five years' time.

Build

  • Block themes (our default)
  • Advanced Custom Fields Pro (structured content your team can edit)
  • Beaver Builder (when you want to edit layouts yourself)

Performance & Speed

  • Perfmatters and server-level caching (Nginx and Redis)
  • Cloudflare (CDN and security)
  • Optimised WordPress hosting (configured specifically for performance)

SEO & Technical

  • Technical SEO built from day one
  • Clean URLs and proper heading structure
  • Schema markup implementation
  • Fast load times as standard

Forms & Functionality

  • Gravity Forms (custom forms and workflows)
  • Integrations via REST API
  • Custom plugins when WordPress doesn't have it built-in

Questions about WordPress websites

The answers to your questions. Get in touch if you can't find what you're looking for.

Yes, when it’s maintained properly. Security issues come from outdated software, poor hosting, or weak passwords, not WordPress itself. We handle updates, use secure hosting, follow best practices, and keep sites protected.
