A web company plays an big role in unlocking the power of WordPress for your business
Having a well-designed and functional website is essential for success. And when it comes to building a website, WordPress is the go-to platform for businesses large and small. However, unlocking its full potential requires the expertise of a web company that specialises in WordPress development. Just like we do at Woodswork Web.
With our knowledge and experience, we can help take your WordPress site to the next level. From creating a visually appealing design that aligns with your brand, to integrating features and plugins, we ensure that your website is optimised for both search engines and user experience.
Advantages of using WordPress for your business website
WordPress has become the leading content management system (CMS) for businesses of all sizes for several good reasons.
Firstly, WordPress is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for even non-technical users to manage and update their websites. Particularly when using a great theme like the one we use, Divi, the most popular theme in the world.
With Divis intuitive interface and drag-and-drop functionality, you can easily create and edit pages and add new content. At Woodswork we make it even easier by providing an online training library you can access any time you need it.
Another advantage of WordPress is its flexibility and scalability. Whether you have a small business website or a large e-commerce store, WordPress can handle it all.
Not ready for a store yet? No problem, you can start with the basics and as your business grows, we can easily add new features and functionality to your WordPress site without any hassle.
WordPress is highly SEO-friendly. Search engine optimisation (SEO) is crucial for businesses to rank higher in search engine results and attract more organic traffic. WordPress offers various SEO plugins, such as Yoast, that can help optimise your website.
Plugins we trust and regularly use:
- Yoast – search engine optimiser
- Gravity Forms – form builder
- Imsanity – image manager
Customising your WordPress website to reflect your brand
Another key advantage of WordPress is its flexibility and customisation options. With thousands of themes and plugins available, you can easily get bamboozled by choice.
While you can often find a theme that will fit your brand, here at Woodswork Web we have done the research and made it simple for you. We use the Divi theme because we know has infinite design possibilities and massive scope for development.
Divi for WordPress is so well supported that we are able to offer incredible cost-effective predesigned options or completely customised design layouts that are tailored to your specific needs. The options are endless and only hindered by imagination.
With either choice, we can showcase your products or services in a way that is unique and engaging. Whether you need a portfolio page to showcase your projects or a product page with advanced filtering options, Woodswork can bring your vision to life and create a website that truly represents your brand.
Integrating plugins and extensions to enhance functionality
Plugins and extensions are a great reason to choose WordPress for your business website. They allow you to add advanced features and functionality to your website, often without any coding knowledge. Again, we have done our research over the years and use plugins we trust for your specific needs and integrate them seamlessly into your WordPress website.
Whether you need an e-commerce plugin to sell products online, a membership plugin to create a subscription-based website, or a contact form plugin to capture leads, we can recommend and install the right plugins for your business. We can also customise the plugins to match your website’s design and ensure that they work seamlessly with your existing systems.
Additionally, some of the WordPress plugins we use can help optimise your website’s performance. Such as restricting image upload sizes. They can even be used to deliver your sites SEO.
Optimising your WordPress website for search engines
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is crucial for businesses to increase their online visibility and attract organic traffic. WordPress provides several built-in features and plugins that can help optimise your website for search engines. A web company can help you leverage these tools and implement best practices to improve your website’s SEO.
One of the plugins for WordPress we use for this is Yoast SEO. This plugin provides a comprehensive set of tools to analyze and optimise your content for search engines. It allows you to set focus keywords, optimise your meta titles and descriptions, and generate XML sitemaps.
A WordPress web company like Woodswork can help you optimise your website’s loading speed and performance. Page speed is a ranking factor for search engines and has a significant impact on user experience. A slow-loading website can result in higher bounce rates and lower conversions.
Ensuring security and updates for your WordPress website
Security is a top priority for any website, and WordPress is no exception. Websites can be vulnerable to hackers and malicious attacks. However, we implement various security measures to protect your website and ensure that it remains secure.
We can keep your WordPress website up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates ensuring that your website is protected against potential threats.

Choosing a reliable web company for WordPress development
When choosing a web company for WordPress development, there are several factors to consider. You’ll want to look for a company that has a strong track record and a portfolio of successful WordPress projects. This will give you an idea of their expertise and the quality of their work.
Another factor to consider is the level of support and maintenance available. Woodswork offers ongoing support and regular updates to ensure that your WordPress website is always up-to-date and secure.
Consider the company’s communication and responsiveness. You want a web company that is responsive to your needs and can provide timely assistance whenever required. A company that cares and are great to work with. Testimonials are great for this.
Pricing and package options are also worth investigating. While cost may not be the sole determining factor, it’s important to find a web company that offers competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Look for transparent pricing structures and a clear breakdown of the services included in each package. This will help you make an informed decision and ensure that you get the best value for your investment.
