Whether you need a completely new WordPress website, improvements to an existing site or bespoke functionality that goes beyond off-the-shelf plugins, Lucidflare Tech can help.

With more than 20 years of software development experience, we combine professional web design with genuine technical expertise to build WordPress websites that are fast, flexible and designed around the needs of your business.

Professional WordPress Development

WordPress is an incredibly flexible platform, but getting the most from it requires more than installing a theme and a collection of plugins.

At Lucidflare Tech, we use WordPress as the foundation for websites that are designed around your business, your customers and what you actually need your website to achieve.

From professional websites for local businesses to e-commerce stores, bespoke functionality and integrations with external systems, we can develop a WordPress solution that works for you now and can continue to grow alongside your business.

Already have a WordPress website? We can also help improve, extend, troubleshoot or modernise an existing site.

New WordPress Websites

Need a new website for your business?

We design and develop professional WordPress websites that are easy to manage, work beautifully across desktop and mobile devices and are built with performance and search visibility in mind.

Every project starts with understanding your business and what you want the website to achieve, rather than simply fitting your content into a pre-built template.

Existing WordPress Websites

You don’t necessarily need to start again to get more from your website.

We can work with existing WordPress websites to improve design, functionality, performance and usability, whether you need a few targeted changes or a more substantial redevelopment.

This can include fixing problems, adding new features, improving mobile layouts, updating older websites and helping you get more from a site that no longer meets the needs of your business.

Bespoke WordPress Development

Sometimes an off-the-shelf plugin isn’t the right solution.

Our software development experience means we can go beyond standard WordPress functionality and develop bespoke features specifically around your business.

This could include custom plugins, specialist administration tools, automated processes, customer portals, product management systems or functionality unique to the way your business operates.

Instead of adding unnecessary plugins and forcing your business to work around their limitations, we can build the functionality your website actually needs.

WordPress Integrations

Your website doesn’t have to operate in isolation.

We can integrate WordPress with external platforms and services to reduce manual work and help information move seamlessly between the systems your business uses.

This can include:

• EPOS and stock management systems
• CRM platforms
• Email marketing services
• Payment providers
• Third-party APIs
• Booking and enquiry systems
• External databases and business software

If a service provides an API or another suitable method of integration, there’s a good chance we can connect it to your WordPress website.

WooCommerce Development

Need to sell online?

WooCommerce transforms WordPress into a powerful e-commerce platform and can be adapted for everything from straightforward online shops to more complex stores with bespoke requirements.

We can help with product management, payments, shipping, checkout improvements, integrations, custom functionality and the ongoing development of your WooCommerce store.

WordPress Performance & Security

A good WordPress website shouldn’t just look good. It should also be fast, reliable and secure.

We take performance and security into consideration throughout development, avoiding unnecessary plugins and bloated solutions wherever possible.

Depending on your requirements, we can help with caching, Cloudflare, image optimisation, database performance, security configuration, software updates and ongoing monitoring.

We also provide managed hosting and ongoing support if you’d prefer us to take care of the technical side after your website launches.

Why Choose WordPress?

WordPress is one of the world’s most widely used website platforms, and for good reason.

It’s flexible, well established and can be adapted to suit everything from small business websites to large content-driven sites and online stores.

Easy to Manage

WordPress provides a straightforward administration area for managing pages, images, products and other website content without needing to understand code.

Flexible & Expandable

Your website can evolve as your business does. New sections, features and integrations can be added without necessarily rebuilding the entire website.

Built for Search

WordPress provides an excellent foundation for SEO when it’s configured and developed properly, giving search engines a clear structure through which to understand your website and its content.

Huge Integration Ecosystem

WordPress works with thousands of third-party services and platforms, while custom development allows us to integrate systems where an off-the-shelf solution isn’t available.

Powerful E-commerce

With WooCommerce, WordPress can also provide a flexible e-commerce platform for businesses selling products or services online.

You Stay in Control

WordPress is open-source software. You’re not locked into a proprietary website builder or dependent on a single provider simply to keep your website online.
