Purpose-built content management.

With a bespoke-built WordPress site, managing your content becomes easy.

The last thing you want to be doing is battling with your CMS.

Are you fed up with battling with your WordPress content management?

We create easy-to-manage sites designed and built around your content requirements, developed for you to manage without the need for developer assistance.

Content is the most important element of any website, but your site will suffer if it becomes hard to manage or if there’s friction in the editing process.

Our custom WordPress sites are customised both on the front end (the theme) and the backend (the admin).

We make content more manageable by building our custom WordPress blocks specifically designed for your content.

 

 

Your content, your way.

Anyone who has managed a WP site built on an off-the-shelf theme or page builder knows the pain of content problems.

  • You want your content to be formatted one way, but the theme has another idea.
  • Something that looks fine on one page looks different when cloned to another.
  • Formatting content takes forever and is completely unintuitive.
  • It seems like you need a Degree in Rocket Science to understand the content editor.
  • Stuff simply does not work.
  • It seems to take three times as long as it should.
  • You end up calling the developer to fix it (which they do in seconds and bill you an hour’s work).

If any of these ring true for you, you suffer from poor content management.

You’ve got a site that’s been built by developers, for developers, and no one took the time to consider that you have a team of people who just need easy content management.

Take control of your content with a bespoke WP theme.

We believe that our clients should be able to edit everything on their websites without having to pick up the phone, so we spend as much time designing and planning your admin as we do your front-end.

This results in a website that is a pleasure to use: no complex UI, no endless array of settings and simple, lightweight code to see your rankings improve.

We take the complexity out of content management.

If something is complex, you won’t use it.

Your website should not have a different design or layout for every single page.

Your content should be written and formatted in similar ways across your site so as not to confuse the visitor.

Your styling should be consistent and precise.

So why would you need a CMS where you have to edit every single aspect of a block before you can publish anything?

Surely it’s better to have a wide range of blocks, created around your content requirements that you can just populate and publish?

This is where content control comes into play.

We design and build on-brand blocks for your site that have all the fields you need for your content.

You simply add your content, publish and everything looks exactly as it should on the front-end. No fiddling with endless settings or having to configure the block for different viewports; it’s all done for you.

Custom blocks are simple and intuitive and allow you to get your content added and published quickly and with little effort on your part.

Stop battling with your content management.

The easier your site is to manage, the more content you will produce and the less time your team will waste on jobs that feel like they should take minutes, but take forever.

Get Better Content Management

Custom content blocks for your content.

Whether it’s tables, tabs, accordions, animations, or simple columns of text, it’s all there and built for a purpose.

At the start of all our projects, we do a content review.

This might be based on your current site, if you are looking to ‘lift and shift’ to a new bespoke WP install or a plan of what you intend to publish.

From this plan comes the list of custom blocks that you’ll need for the site.

Each block goes through the front-end design process and the back-end design process.

Block fields are planned and built, and the blocks can be as simple or complex as your content demands.

So, if you need a complex accordion, where some accordions have three text columns, another holds a video that pops up in a modal and another displays table data, that’s what we build.

No coding, no messing around with the WYSIWYG, just intuitive sets of fields designed for your content.

 

Fine tune your blocks with easy site language.

Rather than getting your hands dirty with code, we’ve developed a simple site language for you to control things.

Just like your branding has guidelines, your site has a simple set of commands to control styling while keeping it within approved design specifications so everything looks consistent.

We’ve distilled complex CSS into simple terms so you can have more control over your blocks and keep everything on-brand.

Creating new blocks takes seconds, and we’ve removed all the guesswork about what goes where.

 

Custom WordPress Blocks FAQs

We’ve answered common questions below; if you can’t find an answer to your question, get in touch.

What are blocks?

Blocks are the elements that hold your content and come together to make a page or post. Each of our blocks is designed for a specific purpose around your content.

How do you add content to blocks?

Each block will have specific fields for your content, so if there’s an image, it will have an image selection option, buttons have link options, text sections its the WYSIWYG editor and so on.

Am I limited to certain blocks?

Nope, we build out as many blocks as your content requires. Each one is designed, built and styled to be 100% on-brand, so all you need to worry about is the content.

Do I have any styling control?

Yes, we’ve devised a simple styling language so you can control styling without going off-brand. It’s very simple to use, and you’ll understand it in 20 seconds.

What if I want new blocks?

That’s the beauty of a bespoke site, if you need new blocks for fresh content, we can build them for you – it takes very little time to build blocks and for most clients, we do this under their maintenance agreement costs.

Are the blocks optimised?

Unlike some themes that load all the CSS and JS on every page of your site, the CSS and JS for our blocks are linked to the block, so the additional code required for the block only loads if the block is used.

I like to fine-tune spacing. Can I do this?

Yes, we’ve added a spacer block so you can fine-tune the spacing between blocks as you like.

Is this really zero-code?

Yes, there is no need to touch any HTML or CSS to get everything looking on-brand and exactly as you like it.

Do I need to use HEX colours?

No, the colour picker for your site will be pre-populated with your brand’s colours, so there’s no need to remember or reference HEX or RGB colour values.

Can I change the fonts?

We have to draw the line somewhere, so no. The last thing you want on your website is lots of different fonts, but you will be able to use your brand fonts.

Can I have global blocks?

Yes, if you need CTAs or sections that are the same across all pages, you can create block patterns that hold global content. If you want to change one instance of a global element, you can do that, and it will become a standalone block.

Can I copy/paste blocks?

Yes, you can copy an existing populated block (or a whole page of blocks) and paste them into another page. This is a huge timesaver.

Custom content blocks make managing your site easier than ever before.

Content management becomes quick and easy with a set of purpose-built blocks for your site.

This is how websites are meant to be managed, and the larger your site, the more you will benefit from a bespoke WP theme and custom content blocks to manage your content.

Your site will be optimised and lightweight and will last you for years without becoming outdated or problematic.

On top of all this, when it comes to a design refresh in a few years time, all that’s needed it a restyling of all the blocks – a much simpler task than a brand-led rebuild.
