Hello. We’re a WordPress Agency.

Our team designs and builds awesomely simple WordPress sites for people who want better content management.

Bespoke WordPress Solutions.

We plan, design, and build custom and bespoke WordPress sites for clients who want a simple-to-use website built and optimised to generate business from the SERPs.

We create easy-to-manage, custom WordPress-powered websites focusing on content, performance and ranking in the search results.

We also build bespoke WordPress themes for brands.

The sites we build are developed for speed and user experience, giving our clients a competitive edge in search and conversions.

Our websites help our clients’ businesses grow by providing a solid, reliable, and easy-to-use marketing platform.

WordPress done right.

We develop websites solely on the self-hosted WordPress CMS.

Our sites are built on our own bare-bones WordPress theme, and we use the Gutenberg editor and Advanced Custom Fields to create truly bespoke sites on both the front and back end.

We use core WordPress code and minimise custom code (where possible) to make our sites future-proof and easy for other developers to understand (should they need to).

This means our clients get exactly what they need, with no superfluous code, no overreliance on Javascript, and a fast and intuitive content editing experience.

The benefits of a custom-built WordPress site.

Future-proof.

Everything we do uses core WordPress code, which will not change any time soon. This means your site will last you for years to come. This also means that any WordPress developer can understand our code.

Easy to use.

A custom front and back end means you get exactly what you want, and it’s designed for you: no more battling with the WYSIWYG. Our sites are intuitive and require zero technical expertise.

Lightweight.

Our sites only contain the code you need and don’t load 1000s of lines of CSS and Javascript on every page. This means they are light, fast, and technically easy to optimise to rank higher in the SERPs.

Flexible.

As it’s built from the ground up, your new site will be able to accommodate anything you need it to do once live. Need to integrate an API? Not a problem. Want to add a new content block? Done in a jiffy.

Easy content management.

We’ve eliminated the need and costs for a developer call to complete most site updates; you can manage everything, from the logo in the header to the footer menus, without the need to call us.

Built to return investment.

Your website should make you money, so our sites are built with SEO and UX at the heart of every decision. We build sites that outrank competitors and get you ranking at the top of the SERPs for your most important keywords.

Simple and intuitive content management.

When your site is built from custom blocks explicitly designed for your content, editing pages and posts is quick and easy.

Never struggle with a complex UI or clunky page builders again; just add your content and publish.

Why go custom?

Get everything you need and nothing you don’t.

We’re a WordPress Agency that understands that not all websites are equal.

Whilst it’s easy to install an off-the-shelf WP theme, change a few colours and upload your logo, sites built like this always need rebuilding further down the line when you outgrow the theme or discover that your site is way too slow.

Why would you want a website that loads tons of code you don’t use or requires countless licences and updates to work correctly?

Having a custom WordPress site built means your business gets exactly what it needs without the fluff that slows things down or makes them overly complicated.

Get Started

How our agency builds WordPress sites.

We keep WordPress as simple as possible, focusing on your SEO and visitors.

We use Gutenberg, the built-in WordPress editor, and we add ACF blocks, the most popular custom block plugin for WordPress sites.

We have a default range of custom content blocks that all sites start with (what you see here), including the most common content elements used on most websites.

These include flexible columns, tiles, reviews, quotes, calls to action, tabs, accordions, and so on; they are then designed and styled to match your branding and content requirements.

You’ll have content that needs specific treatment, so we design and build new blocks for your content in these cases.

This all comes together to give you a content kit for your site to build your pages, drag-and-drop content arrangement and copy blocks from one page to another.

We also use WP Patterns, another built-in WP feature that allows global content blocks to be created and dropped into your content wherever needed.

Everything is pre-styled according to your branding and design preferences, so there’s no messing around with code or CSS; just add your content and publish and everything will look exactly as it should.

What is a bespoke WordPress theme?

We build two types of WordPress sites: custom and bespoke.

While this might sound the same, there are significant differences between the two processes.

A custom WP site is exactly that: our custom WordPress theme, built for your website.

A bespoke theme is typically a larger project with no starter theme; everything is bespoke and built from the ground up.

We build bespoke WordPress themes for brands that need their own brand theme that does exactly what they need it to.

We design and build sites that are simple and intuitive to use, even for non-technical users.

There’s no point in having a CMS if you have to call the developers every time you want to edit or add something.

Our websites are built so they are simple to use, harnessing the power of WordPress content management and making them accessible and easy to use, with no complex UI or calls to the development team.

Take control of your content and focus on building your website to rank in the search and bring you new business.

Why choose Toast?

We’ve over 25 years of experience in the design and build of optimised websites.

We have been working on the web for 25+ years and with WordPress for over 15 years, delivering bespoke-built sites optimised for the SERPs.

No funny business: our code is 100% WordPress, which means it’s future-proof, accessible, and easy for any developer to understand.

We do everything in-house.

You’d be surprised how many WP agencies outsource work. The team of 15 you see on their website is often a collection of freelancers or offshore workers.

We’re more than developers.

Toast is a full-service agency with a design and branding team, developers, writers and planners. You benefit from the right people doing the work they excel at.

We contribute to WordPress.

We’ve designed and built a range of free plugins for people to use on their sites including a mobile menu plugin and an SEO plugin.

You work directly with the experts.

Stuff gets done better and more efficiently when you are talking to someone who does the work rather than someone who just manages the work.

We’re results-driven.

We don’t like building sites that look pretty and achieve nothing. We generate 100% of our own new business from our websites and SEO, so we know how to get there.

We’re in for the long haul.

Getting your website live is only 25% of the job, so we work with our clients over the long term, improving sites and SEO to generate more new business.
