WordPress Agency

A WordPress agency that builds, not installs.

Synmek is a bespoke WordPress design and development agency. We hand-code custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce stores, and headless builds for ambitious businesses — no templates, no page builders, no plugin bloat. Just clean code that ranks, converts, and scales.

Everything WordPress, under one roof.

We're a WordPress design agency and a WordPress development agency in equal measure — strategy, bespoke design, hand-coded build, and ongoing care, delivered by one team that owns the whole stack.

WordPress Design

Bespoke, conversion-focused designs tailored to your brand and built on user research — never an off-the-shelf theme.

WordPress Development

Custom-coded themes, plugin development, API integrations, and headless WordPress with React or Next.js frontends.

WordPress SEO

Technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and content architecture built into every project from day one.

Bespoke WordPress Development

Custom WordPress, not a stack of plugins.

Most "WordPress agencies" install a premium theme, bolt on 40 plugins, and call it bespoke. We don't. Every Synmek build is a custom theme written in clean PHP with Advanced Custom Fields, a modern Webpack pipeline, and a performance budget. The result is a WordPress site that scores 95+ on Lighthouse, loads in under two seconds, and stays maintainable for years.

  • Custom theme development with modern build pipelines
  • Bespoke plugin development for unique business logic
  • WooCommerce stores with subscriptions and memberships
  • WordPress Multisite for enterprise and franchise networks
  • Migration from Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, or legacy CMS

Performance & SEO

WordPress that ranks as fast as it loads.

Speed and search visibility aren't add-ons we sell later — they're how we build. Semantic HTML, optimised assets, structured data, and a content architecture designed to win clusters of related keywords rather than a single term. It's the same approach we use on our own site.

  • Core Web Vitals tuned to pass on mobile and desktop
  • Schema markup and rich-result optimisation as standard
  • Clean URL structure and internal-linking architecture
  • Image, font, and script optimisation out of the box

Common questions about working with a WordPress agency.

A full-service WordPress agency handles strategy, design, development, and ongoing maintenance for WordPress websites. At Synmek that means bespoke design, hand-coded custom themes and plugins, WooCommerce, headless builds, SEO, and long-term support — all from one in-house team rather than outsourced freelancers.
Custom WordPress development starts from £5,000 for a focused brochure site and scales with complexity. A full business website with custom design and CMS integration usually falls in the £8,000–£25,000 range, while WooCommerce stores and web applications start higher. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a discovery session.
No. We build custom themes from scratch using PHP, Advanced Custom Fields, and modern build tools. This delivers far better performance, cleaner code, stronger SEO, and a site that is easier and cheaper to maintain over its lifetime than a page-builder site.
Both. We design and build in-house, so there is no handoff between a design shop and a separate dev team. That keeps the vision intact from concept to launch and means one accountable partner for the whole project.
Yes. We regularly audit, optimise, and rebuild inherited WordPress sites — removing plugin bloat, fixing performance and security issues, and migrating to a clean custom theme while preserving SEO and content.
Yes. Our maintenance plans cover core and plugin updates, security monitoring, daily backups, performance checks, and priority support from £150/month. See our WordPress maintenance page for details.
