Website Development Solutions
Websites built to do more than just exist
A website shouldn’t be an online brochure that gets forgotten about.
It should be your hardest-working sales tool. The place people go to understand who you are, what you do, and why they should choose you.
At Very Vivid, I create strategic WordPress websites that combine great design, clear messaging, SEO foundations and user experience to help businesses attract the right people and turn visitors into enquiries.
Whether you’re launching a new business, refreshing an outdated site, or looking to improve your visibility online, every website is built with purpose from the ground up.
More than a web developer
There are plenty of people who can build a website.
The difference is understanding what happens before and after the build.
With over 15 years of experience across design, marketing, e-commerce, SEO and digital strategy, I look at the bigger picture. Every decision is made with your customers, your goals and your future growth in mind.
That means considering your branding, your messaging, your search visibility and your customer journey from the very beginning, rather than treating them as separate projects.
Because a beautiful website that nobody can find isn’t much use to anyone.

Why I build websites using WordPress
For almost every project, I recommend WordPress.
Not because it’s the easiest option, but because it’s the most flexible, scalable and future-proof platform available for most businesses.
WordPress powers a huge percentage of websites worldwide and gives complete control over your website’s content, functionality and growth without locking you into expensive subscriptions or restrictive systems.
It allows me to create websites that are tailored specifically to your business, rather than forcing your business to fit around a template.
Whether you need a simple brochure website, a lead generation platform, an online shop or something more bespoke, WordPress provides the flexibility to grow with you.
Every website starts with strategy
Before thinking about layouts, colours or functionality, I take time to understand your business.
Who are your customers?
What do they need to know?
What action do you want them to take?
What makes you different?
These questions help shape the structure of your website, ensuring every page has a purpose and every visitor has a clear path to follow.
A well-planned website feels effortless to use. That’s never an accident.
Content that works as hard as the design
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is focusing entirely on the visuals and forgetting the words.
Content is what explains your services, builds trust and helps search engines understand your website.
That’s why I don’t simply hand over empty page templates and ask you to fill them in.
I work with businesses to create content that is clear, engaging and written with both users and SEO in mind. From homepage messaging to service pages, FAQs and blog content, everything is designed to support your wider marketing goals.
Built with SEO in mind from day one
SEO shouldn’t be something that’s added after a website launches.
The foundations should be built into the project from the start.
Every website is developed with search visibility in mind, including page structure, internal linking, content hierarchy, image optimisation, metadata and user experience considerations.
This creates a stronger platform for future SEO activity and gives your website the best possible chance of performing well in search results.
Designed for real people
It’s easy to get caught up in design trends.
What matters is whether your website works.
Every site I create is designed around user experience, making it easy for visitors to navigate, find information and take action.
Clear calls-to-action, intuitive layouts and mobile-friendly design all play a role in creating a website that feels professional and easy to use.
Because if people can’t find what they’re looking for, they won’t stick around.
Ongoing support after launch
Launching your website is only the beginning.
Many of my clients continue working with me after their website goes live through ongoing SEO, content updates, maintenance and digital marketing support.
This means your website stays secure, up to date and aligned with your business as it continues to grow.
No disappearing developers. No support tickets. Just ongoing support from someone who already understands your business.
Let's build a website that works
Whether you’re starting from scratch or replacing an existing website, I’ll help you create a website that’s built around your business goals, your customers and your future growth.
Not just a website that looks good.
A website that works.

Website Development FAQs
What is website development?
Website development is the process of building and creating a website so it functions correctly across all devices and browsers. It includes everything from page layouts and navigation to functionality, performance, security and user experience.
What's the difference between website design and website development?
Website design focuses on how a website looks and feels, while website development focuses on how it works. Design covers visuals, branding and layouts, whereas development brings those designs to life and ensures everything functions properly.
At Very Vivid, both elements work together to create websites that not only look great but perform effectively too.
Why do you build websites using WordPress?
WordPress offers flexibility, scalability and complete ownership of your website. It allows businesses to easily manage content, add new functionality and grow their website over time without being restricted by proprietary platforms or expensive monthly subscriptions.
Is WordPress suitable for small businesses?
Absolutely. WordPress is one of the most popular website platforms in the world and is ideal for small businesses looking for a professional, scalable and SEO-friendly website that can grow alongside their business.
Can you develop custom WordPress websites?
Yes. Every website is built around the individual business and its goals. Rather than relying on generic templates, websites can be customised to include specific layouts, functionality, integrations and user journeys tailored to your requirements.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website is designed and developed to work seamlessly across desktop, tablet and mobile devices. Mobile responsiveness is essential for user experience, search engine rankings and overall website performance.
How long does website development take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller brochure websites may take a few weeks, while larger websites with additional functionality, e-commerce features or bespoke development requirements may take longer.
Can you improve my existing website instead of building a new one?
In many cases, yes. Sometimes a website simply needs improvements to its structure, content, speed, SEO or functionality rather than a complete rebuild. An audit can help determine the most effective approach.
Is website speed important?
Very. Website speed impacts user experience, conversion rates and search engine rankings. Slow-loading websites often lead to higher bounce rates and fewer enquiries, which is why performance optimisation is considered throughout the development process.
Will my website be optimised for SEO?
Every website is built with SEO best practices in mind. This includes website structure, page hierarchy, metadata, image optimisation, internal linking and content considerations that help search engines understand your website.
Can you add booking systems, forms and other functionality?
Yes. Websites can be developed to include a wide range of functionality, including enquiry forms, booking systems, e-commerce stores, membership areas, CRM integrations, payment gateways and more.
What happens once my website is launched?
Once your website is live, you’ll have full access to manage your content. Ongoing support is also available for website maintenance, updates, content changes, SEO and digital marketing if required.
Do websites need regular maintenance?
Yes. Regular maintenance helps keep your website secure, fast and functioning correctly. This includes plugin updates, software updates, security monitoring, backups and general performance checks.
Can I update my website myself?
Absolutely. One of the reasons I use WordPress is because it allows business owners to easily update text, images, blogs and other content without needing technical knowledge. Training can also be provided where required.
How do I know if my website needs redeveloping?
Common signs include slow loading times, poor mobile performance, outdated design, difficulty updating content, low search visibility or a website that no longer reflects your business. If your website isn’t supporting your goals, it may be time for redevelopment.
