  • Experience building plugins for custom functionality
  • Well aware of the security issues and how to mitigate them
  • Can offer professional and reliable ongoing support

Then you are in the right place, read on…

How we develop WordPress websites

A few principles that we like to stick to

  1. Custom built
    All our WordPress websites are custom built for your organisation, no off-the-shelf themes here! We walk through a proven step-by-step design process to make sure you are involved every step of the way and the end result is unique to your business
  2. Easy to edit
    We understand our clients are busy and need quick and easy tools to be able to publish their content. We put a lot of effort into making sure that WordPress is setup in a simple and logical way
  3. Minimal plugins
    One of our pet hates is seeing unnecessary code bloat from dozens of plugins. As a rule of thumb the more plugins the slower your website, the harder to edit your content, the harder the website is to support and the more vulnerable your website becomes. We use a small number of industry standard plugins where necessary and the rest we build into your custom theme.
  4. Fast
    We know how important fast loading pages are to user experience and search rankings. Right from the start of the design process we will have this in mind, as retrospectively updating existing websites is much harder to achieve the best results.
  5. Accessible
    Like website speed, accessibility needs to be planned from the start during the design stages and within the development framework. We aim to make all our websites ‘accessible’ having worked on several projects where the accessibility levels were critical and audited.

Clever stuff!

“The team at Chameleon studios just fundamentally understood what we wanted and what we needed to convey. They did what we asked them to do, then put the polish and extra pzazz on the top, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. We walked away with what we needed most - design for a design company.”
