WordPress Development Birmingham
Your designs are ready. Your content is done.
Let's build it.
You’ve got a designer in-house, or you’ve used AI tools to get your sitemap and content sorted. You know what you want. You have the assets ready. You don’t need strategy sessions or discovery workshops.
You just need a Birmingham development team you can trust to build it correctly, check it thoroughly and launch it with confidence.

You don't need a full agency engagement. You just need a great build.
Most web design agencies bundle strategy, design and build into one package. Which is exactly what you need if you’re starting from scratch but not if your designs are already done.
- A build that looks right on desktop but breaks on mobile damages credibility before a visitor has read a single word.
- Poor SEO foundations mean the site launches but never gets found undoing months of design work overnight.
- A website that loads slowly or feels clunky loses trust instantly, no matter how good the design looks in Figma.
Development Only cuts out everything you don’t need. You bring the assets. We bring the build expertise. Clean, fast, properly built and launched with confidence.
- Squibble exceeded our expectations. Their approach and measurable results speak for themselves.

Why Development Only works
There’s a difference between a website that exists and a website that works.
Any developer can put pages together. What separates a good build from a poor one is the detail; the code quality, the performance, the security, the SEO foundations, the cross-device behaviour, the accessibility. These are the things that don’t show up until after launch. By then, fixing them costs more than doing them right the first time.
- Every build starts with a pre-build review — we check your designs, sitemap and content before writing a single line of code, and flag anything that needs resolving first.
- You review progress on a staging environment before anything goes live. No surprises, no guesswork, no "it looked different on my screen."
- Every build includes SEO foundations, performance optimisation, accessibility checks, and security setup as standard — not as extras.
- Every project comes with a 30-day post-launch warranty. If anything surfaces after handover, we fix it. No argument, no extra charge.
How it works
from handover to launch
A straightforward process from assets to launch. No unnecessary stages, no discovery sessions you don’t need, just a clean, well-managed build from start to finish.
Pre-build
review
We review your designs, content and sitemap. We flag anything that needs resolving and agree the build scope with you before work begins.
Build
We build to your designs in WordPress and Elementor. You’ll see progress as we go, with a staging environment to review before anything goes live.
Feedback and amends
You review the build on staging. We action your feedback in agreed rounds before sign-off using a dedicated platform so everyone can track the feedback status.
Testing and
launch
Full cross-device and cross-browser testing, then launch. We handle domain connection and DNS configuration, and stay on hand for 30 days post-launch.
Is it right for me?
- You have designs, content and a sitemap ready and just need a reliable team to build it.
- You want a WordPress website built properly, with SEO, performance, accessibility and security done right from day one.
- You need a clear timeline, a staging environment to review, and no surprises at launch.
- You want a UK-based team — real people, same faces throughout, available when you need them.
Ready to get unstuck? Share your designs and sitemap and we’ll come back to you with a clear scope, timeline and quote — usually within 48 hours.
Your questions, answered
You’ve done the hard work getting to this point. Here are the questions we hear most before someone decides to work with us.
What do you need from us to get started?
Your designs – whether that’s a Figma file, Adobe XD, a PDF, or exported assets. Your content, either in a document or already on the pages. Your sitemap so we know the structure. And a brief overview of what the site needs to do. The more complete these are before we start, the smoother the build.
What if our designs aren't quite finished?
Tell us upfront. We’d rather know before we start than discover a gap mid-build. If there are minor things missing we can usually work around them. If the designs need significant work before they’re buildable, we’ll flag it in the pre-build review and agree how to handle it before anything begins.
Do we need to be available during the build?
Not day to day – that’s the point. We’ll set clear milestones and you’ll review progress on staging at agreed points. Outside of those reviews, you get on with your day. We get on with the build.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in the scoping conversation, not an optimistic one. Most Development Only builds complete within four to eight weeks from assets being signed off and ready.
What if we want changes after the build starts?
We agree the scope before we start. Changes mid-build are possible but may affect the timeline and cost, we’ll always tell you before proceeding. That’s why the pre-build review matters, it’s the right time to catch anything that needs resolving.
Can you host the website too?
Yes. we are a Preferred Partner with WP Engine and can set up hosting as part of the launch process. If you already have hosting in place, we’ll work with it. Either way, domain connection and DNS configuration is included.
What happens after launch?
You get a 30-day post-launch warranty. If anything within the agreed scope surfaces after go-live, we fix it at no extra charge. After that we can discuss ongoing support if you need it but there’s no obligation.
