A front-end WordPress developer is a professional who specialises in creating the user-facing aspects of a WordPress website. Their primary focus is on designing and developing the parts of the website that users interact with directly, such as the layout, navigation, forms, and visual elements.
Although there is overlap with the tasks of a backend WordPress developer, there are significant differences. Here are some key responsibilities and skills associated with a front-end WordPress developer:
The process of designing and developing websites involves the use of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML is used to create and structure the content, CSS is used to style and visually enhance the website, and JavaScript is used to add interactive and dynamic elements to the website. Creating websites involves using these programming languages to ensure that the website is visually appealing, user-friendly, and functional.
Front-end WordPress developers specialise in creating custom WordPress themes or modifying existing themes using a combination of programming languages. Their goal is to create themes that are visually appealing, responsive, and user-friendly, while also meeting the unique needs of a website.
Responsive design is a crucial aspect of creating a website that can be accessed by users on all types of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. A responsive automatically adjusts its layout and content to fit the screen size of the device being used to view it. It ensures that the website is compatible with all types of browsers, thereby reaching a wider audience.
Cross-browser testing is a crucial aspect of front-end WordPress development that ensures that websites work across various browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It helps provide a consistent user experience and ensures the website can reach a broad audience. Front-end developers test websites across different browsers to ensure compatibility and make any necessary adjustments.
A front-end WordPress developer maintains and updates existing websites by adding new features and functionality. In addition to adding new features and functionality, a front-end developer may also be responsible for troubleshooting and debugging issues on the website and optimising the site for performance and search engine rankings.
An essential aspect of front-end development is problem-solving skills. Quickly identifying and troubleshooting issues related to code, performance, and other front-end development problems is crucial for delivering web projects. Front-end developers should have a strong understanding of the underlying technologies and use that knowledge to find solutions to complex problems.
We have extensive experience and expertise migrating websites from Joomla or Drupal to WordPress (WP). We follow a systematic approach to ensure our clients' smooth and successful transition. Our process typically involves a detailed analysis of the website, followed by a planning and execution phase.
We start by analysing your existing Joomla or Drupal website, understanding its structure, content, and functionalities. This helps us create a detailed migration plan tailored to your specific requirements.
We migrate your content, including pages, posts, categories, tags, images, and media files, from your Joomla or Drupal site to the new WP platform. We ensure the content is preserved and any necessary formatting adjustments made.
If you want to keep the same design or create a fresh design, we can develop a custom WordPress theme based on your requirements. We focus on creating a visually appealing, user-friendly design that aligns with your brand.
We work to replicate the functionalities and features of your existing Joomla or Drupal site within WordPress. Whether it’s custom modules, plugins, or specific functionalities, we recreate them or find suitable alternatives in WordPress.
We pay close attention to preserving your site’s search engine rankings during the migration process. We ensure redirects are implemented to maintain link integrity and minimise any negative impact on your SEO efforts.
Before making your migrated WordPress site live, we test it to ensure everything functions as intended. We cleanup code and check for issues, design inconsistencies and incompatible plugins and fix where needed.
Our hosting packages provides a range of features essential for maintaining a secure and reliable website. Our hosting services include caching, which helps to speed up your website as well as a CDN (Content Delivery Network) that ensures your website is delivered quickly to users around the world.
We provide firewall protection to protect your site from attacks and DDoS protection to prevent your website from being overwhelmed by traffic spikes. We also offer an SSL certificate to encrypt data transmitted between your website and your users. This is important if your website handles sensitive customer data or payment details.
Our WordPress API Integration services are designed to help you connect with various software solutions, including payment gateways and CRM systems. We understand the importance of having a robust and reliable system in place, which is why we ensure that our integration services are customised to meet your specific needs.
WordPress API Integration services can help streamline your business processes and improve productivity. Our WordPress developer discusses your requirements and suggests the best solution to integrate your website with external software systems. We ensure the integration is seamless without disrupting your website's performance.
Integrating a CRM with WordPress streamlines your marketing and sales efforts. In addition, a CRM will help you capture leads and nurture them from the first visit on your website.
An app designed using a Social Media API would have access to profile information and social connections, and would allow the user to post activities directly on users’ profiles/newsfeeds, where permitted.
Online booking systems can help you grow your business by allowing customers to make reservations, schedule classes, and book vacations directly from your WP website.
If you have a WooCommerce website and want to offer your customers online payment options, you’ll need to integrate a payment gateway like PayPal and Stripe.
The WPML multilingual plugin is an all-in-one solution for creating and managing multilingual websites and blogs on WordPress. With WPML, website owners can easily translate content for posts, pages, products, forums, and navigation menus, ensuring a seamless experience for users in different languages.
Our team of skilled WordPress developers can configure the multilingual plugin to meet your specific needs, whether you're looking to expand your global reach, cater to a multilingual audience, or simply improve your website's accessibility.
Target different language audiences
We start by thoroughly analysing your existing Joomla or Drupal website, understanding its structure, content, and functionalities. This helps us create a detailed migration plan tailored to your specific requirements.

Our process for website design and development begins with an initial consultation to grasp your requirements. We conduct thorough research on your business, niche, and competitors. Wireframing precedes the design phase, where we meticulously create and select elements such as text, images, videos, fonts, and colours. After finalizing the design, we transition to the development stage, followed by rigorous testing before deploying the completed website live.
When building a website, the time it takes can vary depending on the size of the website. Smaller websites can take up to a week to build, while larger websites or online stores can take up to 2-3 months. Sometimes, there can be delays in the project, and this is usually because we are waiting for content from the client. For example, we may need pictures of your business or descriptions of your products. We try to anticipate these delays and let you know as early as possible so that you have enough time to provide the necessary content.
We rely on project management software for communication and to effectively manage every stage of our WordPress web design builds. This platform serves as a central hub for collaboration between our team and clients.

Yes, we do. These page builders allow clients to create their pages and manage their content effectively. It also reduces the need to go back to us to make minor changes to the layout of your website.
One issue with page builders is if configured incorrectly, they load a significant amount of unnecessary code, also known as code bloat. We ensure this doesn’t happen using various techniques. In addition, we utilise multiple forms of caching for assets and file delivery.
Page builders also offer many advanced SEO features that are easier to incorporate into a website with a page builder than without. Elementor is the most popular page builder for WordPress. However, Bricks Builder is more recent and advanced and is our preference. However, we can work with Elementor, Visual Composer and Advanced Custom Fields.
Our experienced team can recommend the right plugins to enhance the functionality and performance of your website.
