Should I rebuild my WPBakery website?

WordPress design & build
Do you need a great website, just without the faff?
Not every website needs months of strategy, a complicated technical build or a giant budget. Sometimes you just need a really good website: properly planned, professionally designed, quick, easy to manage and built to last.
That’s exactly what we can do for you.
What we can do
A professionally planned, designed and built WordPress website
We’ve been designing and building websites for years, so we’ve learned where to spend the time that really matters.
We like to keep the process simple, concentrate on what will make the biggest difference and avoid adding complexity for complexity’s sake.
You still get proper design thinking, strong layouts and the opportunity to refine the work with us. Our expertise allows us to work within a proven system that gets us from idea to finished website far more efficiently.
The result is a website that feels considered and individual without breaking the bank.
Built in as standard
Everything a great website needs, already taken care of.
Easy to customise
Built with Elementor, so everyday changes to text, imagery and pages are simple to make.
Mobile ready
Designed and tested to work properly across desktop, tablet and mobile.
SEO foundations included
Clean page structures, headings, metadata and technical basics set up properly from the start.
Clear user journeys
Pages are planned around what visitors need to find, understand and do next.
Designed to grow
Add new pages, services, case studies or landing pages as your business develops.
Analytics ready
Google Analytics and Search Console can be connected so you can track site performance.
Properly tested
We check layouts, links, forms and responsive behaviour before anything goes live.
Contact forms included
Straightforward enquiry forms configured and ready to start bringing leads into the business.
Our methodical approach
A simple four-step process
Plan
We get to know your business, understand what the website needs to achieve and agree the pages, content and functionality. No enormous discovery phase — just enough thinking to make sure we are solving the right problem.
Design
We create the visual direction and key page designs. You review the work, give us feedback and refine the direction with us.
Build
Once the design is agreed, we build everything in WordPress and Elementor, optimise it across different screen sizes and add the agreed functionality.
Launch & look after it
We test everything, get the site live and make sure you are comfortable managing it. Then we host and look after it for your first year at no additional cost.
Our reviews
What our clients say
“Our web developments are usually ambitious and complicated, but we are yet to come across a problem they haven’t been able to solve.”

“Regular face-to-face meetings with the team in Winchester have been important to me, but their swift and professional telephone and email support is also invaluable to any business.”

What can I do with my new site?
Built to be easy to live with.
A website should not become another piece of technology you are scared to touch. Elementor gives you a visual editing experience, meaning everyday changes can be made without digging through code.
We build the site around reusable sections and sensible components, so as the business develops you can update the site easily with or without our help.
Add new pages
Create landing pages
Change image and videos
Publish news or articles
Expand existing content
WordPress development
Need something more ambitious?
Sometimes we start talking about a straightforward website and realise the project needs more. That’s where Think Creative comes in.
Upkeep is powered by Think, which means if your project grows beyond what makes sense here — either in the initial build or down the line — we can bring in the wider strategy, design and development team rather than trying to force your project into the wrong box.
Looking for something along these lines?
- A full brand strategy
- Complex user journeys
- Bespoke functionality
- Advanced ecommerce
- Custom integrations
- Membership systems
- A web application
- WooCommerce and checkout problems
Why choose Upkeep?
Why use Upkeep?
Real human expertise
You will speak to real UK based people who understand WordPress. Never a chatbot or anonymous call centre. Your issue is reviewed by the technical team responsible for helping resolve it.
Plain-English answers
We will explain what has happened, why it matters and what we recommend doing next without hiding behind jargon.
Existing websites welcome
We do not need to have designed, built or hosted your website. We are happy to investigate inherited, ageing and imperfect WordPress setups.
Repair before replacement
We will not recommend a rebuild when a sensible repair will do. Where continued repair is no longer safe or economical, we will explain the alternatives honestly.
Post care & website hosting
Your first year is on us
Once your new website launches, we include 12 months of Upkeep hosting and service at no additional cost.
That means we are not simply handing over the keys and disappearing. We keep the underlying website looked after and give you somewhere to come when you need help.
At the end of the first year, you can simply continue on one of our ongoing Upkeep plans.
Wordpress support
Ready for a better website?
You don’t need a 60-page strategy document or need six months of meetings.
And you don’t need to know anything about WordPress. We can build you something that makes your business look and feel great online.
