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

Seriously I should have listened to Mark from the moment he approached me to migrate to 365i, very professional hosting with state of the art control panel that automatically optimises almost every aspect of your website for faster loading.
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 !
I’ve had a few websites over the years, so I thought I knew what to expect… I didn’t. The new Lockerfella site is way beyond anything I had in mind. The big one for me is performance. I know how important Google PageSpeed is, and this site hits 100 across the board, which I never thought I’d see. Fast, solid, and done properly. 365i is easily the best hosting I’ve used, with a team that really knows their stuff. You’d have to be mad to go anywhere else.
Migrated from A2 Hosting to 365i and the level of customer service and support is absolutely exceptional. What Mark doesn't know about hosting and websites isn't worth knowing. He goes past just hosting and is always willing to help. Great to feel in safe hands. Highly recommend.
Absolute expert. Would whole heartedly recommend Mark for difficult IT issues. Good hosting too.
Very good support. Really Really impressed with the effort you’ve put into this, Mark. You’ve clearly gone the extra mile, and it shows. This web page has been a huge help — can’t imagine managing without it now. Thank you so much, truly appreciate it!appreciated! Thumbs up (y)
Outstanding support & super friendly. I’d be lost without 365i. It’s like they do anything they can to help. Nothing is too much trouble. Oh, and fastest Wordpress hosting I’ve ever had! Totally recommended!
After doing Internet Marketing for over 23 years, I know what QUALITY and RELIABILITY is. It's a fine line between your failure and success. Damage can happen in a second and restoration can take years. That's why I trust my precious projects to 365i host along with their other services besides just hosting. I NEVER had any scam upsets from 365i that other hosting companies tried to do when emergencies happened. Some even blamed me while charging ridiculous fees just for so-called premium hosting. Be assured that 365i is a TRUE PREMIUM HOSING and prices are low-funny. This day, I put my word on it: I have not seem anyone better than 365 when it comes to speed, reliability, support and ethics. Uploaded are the pictures of me and just some precious projects I trust 365i. Believe me, it is not easy to please me because I am a certified marketer by AWAI, student of Joe Vitale, Dan Kennedy and other marketing legends. I know when someone delivers quality and when someone talks empty promises. Hey, I am a copywriter, I smell that stuff a mile away. Yet, with 365i, I am ASSURED - less things to think about. If 365i does anything for me - it is always A+ QUALITY! The owner, Mr. Mark is a hero himself who treats you with respect, a superb web designer himself, a business owner, Internet marketer... Do you know what this means to you? That he is NOT just a "blah, blah, yeah, yeah, we can definitely do it" sales rep who will tell you anything you want to hear. If you are ready for truth, sweet or harsh, ask 365i. Not only they help you with superb hosting, but also with your business growth - WITHOUT any BS. Mark says it as it is. And even I am way over 20 years in the game, I still listen to wise advices of Mark! After you start dealing with 365i, you too will see the massive difference and automatically drop a huge weight off of your shoulders! No scammers here! Very honest owner from UK (born and raised in UK, holding REAL European values, like some others who will choke and sell their soul to the devil for $20.00).
These guys are so helpful! They migrated my website for me in a few minutes and then set about improving the page speed. Best move I’ve made in a long time! And great value too! Thank you 😊
