Block Editor Gutenberg blocks for easy content management
Plugin Architecture Only what's needed, no bloat, no conflicts
Security & Hosting Hardened setup, caching, and backup strategy
What We Do

WordPress without the headaches

WordPress powers 43% of the web, but most WordPress sites are slow, insecure, and painful to maintain. We build the other kind: fast, clean, and built to last, with only the plugins and code your site actually needs.

Custom Theme Development

Purpose-built WordPress themes that match your brand precisely, no page builder sluggishness, no compromise on design.

Gutenberg Block Editor

Custom Gutenberg blocks so your team can build pages without touching code: flexible, structured, and impossible to break.

Performance Optimisation

Image optimisation, caching, CDN setup, and database tuning. We get Core Web Vitals green and keep them that way.

Security Hardening

WordPress-specific security setup: login protection, file permissions, malware scanning, and a backup strategy that actually runs.

WooCommerce

E-commerce on WordPress using WooCommerce: custom product layouts, checkout flow, and payment gateway integration.

ACF & Custom Post Types

Advanced Custom Fields and custom post types for structured, repeating content: team members, case studies, FAQs, events.

Use Cases

When WordPress is the right choice

WordPress is the best fit when you need deep content management flexibility, WooCommerce e-commerce, or an existing WordPress codebase extended. Here's what we handle well.

Content-Heavy Sites
News, blogs, knowledge bases, and resource centres. WordPress CMS is built for this at scale.
WooCommerce Stores
Full e-commerce on WordPress, from simple product catalogues to complex subscription businesses.
Existing WP Sites
Rebuilds, redesigns, and performance overhauls of existing WordPress sites. We won't start from scratch unless you need to.
Multisite Networks
WordPress Multisite for organisations managing multiple brands or locations from a single installation.
How We Work

From mockup to managed site

01

Audit & Plan

For rebuilds: a full audit of the existing site. For new builds: sitemap, content structure, and plugin strategy.

02

Design

Figma mockups approved before development: desktop and mobile for every key template.

03

Build

Theme development, block creation, ACF setup, plugin integration, and performance optimisation on a staging environment.

04

Launch

Security hardening, backup setup, final QA, migration to production, and a walkthrough so your team can manage content day-to-day.

Why LUMEN

WordPress done right

No Bloat
We don't use Elementor, Divi, or Visual Composer. Custom theme code means faster sites, cleaner HTML, and no vendor lock-in to a page builder you'll outgrow.
Security First
WordPress is the most targeted CMS on the web. We harden every install from day one, not as an afterthought, but as a core deliverable.
Long-Term
We build for maintainability: clear code, documentation, and a handover process so you're never dependent on us to keep the lights on.
