Slow loading times
Your site takes forever to load. Every extra second of loading time costs you visitors and sales. You've added features over time, but now your site feels sluggish and you're not sure why.
I can help you to optimize loading speeds, streamline code, and implement caching strategies that make your site lightning-fast.
Security concerns
You're worried about getting hacked. You hear about WordPress sites getting compromised, but you're not sure if yours is vulnerable. Updates pile up and you're afraid something will break if you touch it.
I can help to improve the security of your site through proper security configurations, regular updates, backups, and monitoring
Starting from scratch
You need a site but don't know where to start. There are thousands of themes, plugins, and hosting options. How do you know which choices will support your business goals without becoming a liability later?
I can advise on specific themes, plugins and hosting that are appropriate for the type of site you're looking to deliver and the way you're intending to manage it.
Outgrown your site
Your current site doesn't fit your business anymore. Your business has evolved but your site hasn't kept up. Or maybe you need to switch hosts, update your design, or migrate from another platform entirely.
Moving hosts or updating your design? I can support complex migrations and redesigns.
Confusing choices
You're making expensive decisions based on guesswork. Every plugin and hosting change feels like a gamble. You're spending money on tools you're not sure you need, or worse, avoiding investments that could actually help your business grow.
I can advise on hosting, plugins, architecture, and best practices. Avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions about your WordPress site.
Dependent on developers
You're stuck paying someone for every small change. Want to update a page? That'll be £150. Need to add a blog post? Wait for your developer. You're paying ongoing fees for simple tasks you could handle yourself if someone just showed you how.
I can identify modifications you can make to your site to manage more of it yourselves and provide personalized training.
