Built for the people who publish
Build a WordPress website that supports your content, customers and day-to-day team. FinderPress works on custom websites, themes, plugins, WooCommerce and improvements to existing sites. The project starts with the real work your website needs to do, so the editing experience and technical structure support the same goal.
THE RIGHT WORK, FOR THE RIGHT REASON
A website can look finished while still being frustrating to use. Editors may need a developer for every change, plugins may overlap and small updates may be difficult to test. Adding another plugin is not always the right next step. We look at the workflow, content model and existing dependencies before choosing an implementation.
We review your site or brief, identify the important templates and define what belongs in the theme, plugin or external service. Content ownership and editor controls are planned alongside the frontend. Work is tested in a suitable non-production environment, with launch tasks and handover agreed before the live site changes.
WordPress / CAPABILITIES
The final proposal defines which of these areas your project includes. We agree the deliverables and dependencies before starting.
Build responsive templates around your content and brand. Reusable sections and appropriate editor controls help your team update the website without rebuilding each page from scratch.
Implement functionality that has a clear purpose and ownership boundary. Scope can cover a custom feature, admin workflow or integration, with appropriate validation, access checks and documentation.
Improve product discovery, product templates and the purchase journey within the agreed store setup. Payment, shipping, tax and third-party dependencies are reviewed before changes are estimated.
Review important journeys on real screen sizes, reduce avoidable media and script costs, and address keyboard and form usability. Specific targets and verification methods are agreed for the project.
Plan content mapping, media, URLs, redirects and the publishing transition. A rebuild includes a launch checklist so content and integrations are considered alongside the new design.
Scope a practical update routine, backup responsibilities, staging checks and a route for reporting issues. Ongoing availability and support hours are agreed rather than implied.
START WHERE IT MAKES SENSE
A focused project can fix a slow template, broken form, awkward editor experience or integration without replacing the entire website.
A larger project connects page structure, content preparation, design, development and launch. The quote identifies which responsibilities belong to each team.
For custom plugins or integrations, we define inputs, permissions, outputs, error states and the systems that must remain compatible.
HOW WE WORK
Good delivery starts before the first line of code. We connect the brief, the implementation and the people who will maintain it.
Share your goal, current setup and the journeys that matter. We ask about the constraints before choosing an implementation.
The proposal identifies deliverables, dependencies, review points and what sits outside the work. Open questions are recorded early.
Review meaningful progress in an appropriate preview or staging environment. Content, interaction and technical decisions are checked together.
Verify the agreed release checks, document the controls and clarify ongoing ownership. Further work can be planned from a shared baseline.
REVIEWABLE, NOT JUST PRESENTABLE
A polished page is one part of delivery. We also agree the checks, the responsibilities and the handover that make the work usable afterwards.
A FEW THINGS WORTH ASKING
Yes. A review establishes whether targeted work is sensible or whether the current structure creates enough constraints to justify a rebuild. We do not assume every project needs a new theme.
That is part of the planning. The quote defines which content, sections and settings are editable, and handover covers the workflows included in the build.
Yes. We scope the feature, compatibility requirements, access rules and long-term ownership before deciding whether custom development is preferable to an existing plugin.
Yes. Store work is planned around the actual catalogue, checkout, payment, shipping and integration requirements. Some dependencies may require third-party subscriptions or specialist input.
Yes, as a separate agreed scope or part of the proposal. Update frequency, backups, response expectations and what counts as additional development should be written down.
