We have recently migrated our website to 365i. With Marks help not only was the migration seamless and speedy but Mark fixed a lot of persistent issues that had been around for ages. Since then the support we have got from Mark is exemplary and I simply could not have wished for better. Mark provides the best support packages you could wish for and this is the best business decision we have made in years. Perfect!!!

Why WordPress still wins
Every few years, someone declares WordPress dead. Meanwhile, it quietly powers over 40% of all websites, from personal blogs to Fortune 500 companies, government sites to global e-commerce operations.
The reason is simple: WordPress works. It's flexible enough to build almost anything, stable enough to trust with your business, and open enough that you're never locked in to one developer or platform.
But WordPress is only as good as the people building with it. A poorly built WordPress site can be slow, insecure, and frustrating to manage. A well-built one is fast, secure, and a genuine pleasure to use.
We've been building with WordPress since the early days, before Gutenberg, before the REST API, before it even had custom post types. That experience means we know which approaches work long-term and which create problems down the line.
Who we work with
Our WordPress development services are ideal for:
Businesses outgrowing their current site
Your existing WordPress site is slow, hard to update, or held together with too many plugins. You need someone to rebuild it properly.
Agencies needing a development partner
You handle design and client relationships. You need reliable WordPress development to back it up.
Companies with specific requirements
Off-the-shelf themes and plugins don't quite fit. You need custom functionality built to your exact specifications.
Anyone frustrated with their current developer
Changes take forever. Updates break things. You're ready for a developer who actually knows what they're doing.
Honest note: We're not the cheapest option for simple template installations. If you just need a theme installed and configured, there are faster and cheaper routes. We're for when you need it done properly.
How we build WordPress sites
Custom themes, not page builders. We develop bespoke themes from scratch. No Elementor, no Divi, no bloat. Your site loads fast because we only include what you actually need.
Clean, maintainable code. We follow WordPress coding standards and best practices. Any competent developer can pick up where we left off, though we hope you'll want to stick with us.
Security from the ground up. We harden every installation: proper file permissions, security headers, limited login attempts, and careful plugin vetting. Your site won't be the low-hanging fruit.
Performance obsessed. Efficient database queries. Proper caching. Optimised assets. Every decision considers speed because slow sites lose visitors and rankings.
Block editor ready. We embrace Gutenberg and build custom blocks that let you update content confidently, without needing us for every small change.
Why choose us for WordPress?
Quarter-century of experience
We've been building with WordPress since version 1.x. We've seen every trend, every security scare, and every major evolution of the platform.
Plugin developers ourselves
We maintain plugins in the WordPress.org repository. We understand WordPress internals, not just how to use it.
No plugin overload
Most sites need far fewer plugins than they have. We'll build what you need and choose plugins carefully for the rest.
Gutenberg expertise
We build custom blocks that give you the editing experience you actually need, not a confusing wall of options.
Hosting that matches
Your site lives on our own 365i Hosting platform, optimised specifically for WordPress. No finger-pointing when something needs fixing.
Long-term thinking
We build sites that will still work properly in five years. No hacks, no shortcuts, no "we'll fix that later."
WooCommerce ready
Need e-commerce? We integrate WooCommerce seamlessly with custom themes, with no awkward mismatches or bolted-on functionality.

What Clients Say About Our WordPress Development
Very knowledgable and did a great job - I would definitely use again.
Mark has looked after us for 14 years and designed 3 websites in this time. I have been lucky to find them, they have been a great help to us over the years. Always available to answer questions or make changes to our website quickly. Our business wouldn't be where it is now without the support of 365i.
Mark is extremely knowledgeable and a great person to speak and learn from - highly recommend his services!
Mark is very helpful and puts a lot of effort in his work. Highly recommended.
If you want the best....look no further. I'm slightly reluctant in leaving such a good review as we want him to ourselves! Not enough stars or words to explain this man's level or expertise and work ethic. Wow!
Amazing service. Mark is always happy to help and is easy to contact. Highly recommend!
Thanks 365i for going above and beyond on my Daughters wedding website. A friendly, professional service, a good quality look and feel and functionality we didn't even know we needed. Would definitely recommend you !
Was very generous with his time late, at night. Guided me through an unusual technical change. Highly recommended.
365i are fantastic! I'm not very good with IT and every one of my needs have been met with a friendly and beyond helpful response. My most recent issue (self created I may add) was dealt with swiftly by Mark who I cant thank enough for his efforts supporting me. Thank you for a great service!
Frequently asked questions
Is WordPress good for business websites?
Yes, WordPress powers over 43% of all websites including major brands like BBC, Sony, and The White House. It's flexible, scalable, and with proper development provides enterprise-level performance while remaining easy to manage.
WordPress vs Wix: which is better?
WordPress is better for business websites. You own your site, have unlimited customisation, better SEO capabilities, and can switch developers anytime. Wix is simpler but locks you into their platform with limited flexibility and export options.
Is WordPress hard to learn?
No, WordPress is designed to be user-friendly. Adding pages, updating text, and uploading images requires no technical knowledge. We provide training and documentation so you can confidently manage your own content from day one.
Is WordPress secure?
WordPress is secure when properly maintained. Security issues typically come from outdated software, weak passwords, or poorly coded plugins. We implement security hardening, regular updates, and monitoring to keep your site protected.
