XD Builds

Absolutely. Turning supplied designs into WordPress websites is a core part of what our development team does.

We most commonly work with Adobe XD and Figma files supplied by branding, creative, communications and marketing agencies, as well as freelance designers. We can also work from designs created in other platforms, provided we have enough information and assets to accurately understand the intended design.

Our developers will review the designs, scope the development requirements and build the website in WordPress with consideration for responsiveness, performance, usability and how the client will manage the website once it’s live.

Yes. We regularly provide completely white label WordPress development for other agencies. Your agency can remain the primary point of contact for the client while our team handles development behind the scenes.

If you prefer, we can also communicate directly with your client while representing your agency as part of the wider project team. This can be particularly useful during technical discussions where your client has questions around functionality, integrations, hosting or development.

The relationship can be structured around your agency and the way you prefer to manage your clients.

Very closely. Our goal is to reproduce your design as accurately as possible while ensuring the finished website works properly in a real browser.

There will naturally be differences in how websites display across screen sizes, browsers and devices, so development isn’t always a literal pixel-for-pixel translation of a static design. Our developers use their judgement to maintain the overall creative direction while ensuring layouts respond naturally.

We pay close attention to typography, spacing, imagery, layouts, interactions and other visual details to create a finished website that remains faithful to the original design.

That’s okay. Our team can fill in responsive design gaps rather than sending every missing screen back to your designer.

We typically develop websites across three key responsive breakpoints covering desktop, tablet and smartphone. If you’ve only supplied desktop designs, our developers can determine how layouts and components should adapt across smaller screens while remaining consistent with your original design direction.

Our developers are also supported by our in-house design team, so if something requires a more considered design decision, we can work through it internally and keep the project moving.

Yes. In fact, we prefer to collaborate with designers before the final designs are presented to the client wherever possible.

We’ll review the designs from a development perspective and identify anything that may create issues around responsiveness, functionality, performance, accessibility or content management. For more technically complex projects, we can also scope requirements before the design process begins.

This allows your designer to understand any technical considerations upfront and helps prevent a design being approved by the client before discovering that a particular feature will significantly increase the development scope or budget.

Yes. We’re not limited to simply translating the front-end design into WordPress. Our development team can also scope and build the functionality required behind it.

This can include CRM and API integrations, eCommerce, advanced forms and workflows, filtering, booking functionality, membership areas, custom post types, portals and other custom WordPress functionality.

If an off-the-shelf solution doesn’t meet the requirements, our developers can also build custom functionality and integrations. This allows you to keep the entire website development scope with one team, even when the project becomes technically complex.

Yes. We can develop advanced animations, transitions and interactions using technologies such as GSAP, JavaScript and CSS where the project calls for them.

Animations can vary significantly in development complexity, so we recommend discussing more advanced interactions with us during the design or scoping stage. This allows us to advise on what’s achievable and provide an accurate development allowance before the design is approved.

Where animations haven’t been fully specified, we can also work with your designer to recommend an approach that complements the creative direction without unnecessarily affecting performance or usability.

Yes. We build WordPress websites with the end user in mind, not just the person developing them.

Depending on the project, we can configure the CMS so your client can easily update text and images, publish articles, add team members, upload projects, manage products, update services and maintain other recurring website content without needing to understand code.

We structure the backend around the content the client actually needs to manage, giving them flexibility while helping maintain the integrity and consistency of the original design.

A standard supplied design WordPress website will typically take around 2 to 4 weeks to develop once the final designs, content and required assets have been provided.

Larger websites with more page templates, advanced animations, custom functionality, integrations or more complex content management requirements will generally take around 4 to 8 weeks.

We’ll establish the expected development timeline during scoping. Having final designs and content ready before development begins helps us work efficiently and gives your agency a much clearer launch timeline to communicate to the client.

Our development quotes are generally based on the estimated number of hours required to deliver the project. We understand that agencies often need a development figure before the final designs exist so they can prepare their own proposal for the client.

In these cases, we’ll discuss the project requirements, functionality and creative direction with you and provide an indicative development scope. Before the final designs are presented to the client, we’ll review them together to make sure they remain aligned with the original development allowance.

Our approach is collaborative and transparent. We want you to know what’s included, identify potential scope changes early and avoid unexpected development costs once you’ve already committed to a price with your client.
