Our unique selling point is that we help organisations transition toward a more sustainable digital infrastructure, with lightweight websites & systems (see the carbon rating in our footer), and conscious digital use.
We specialise in accessibility, ethical marketing, and ongoing support beyond launch, so your site is future-proof, not just a pretty brochure.
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites. It’s user-friendly, highly customisable, and supported by a large community of developers and designers. With WordPress, you can create anything from a simple blog to a complex e-commerce site, making it a versatile choice for any business.
The cost of building a WordPress website can vary widely depending on your specific needs, the process that the company will take you through and their hourly rate. Vu will understand your needs and create a costed and dated project plan as part of the sales process.
Other costs to consider include domain registration, hosting, content (video/photos/copywriting) and subscriptions to premium plugins that will save bespoke development costs.
The time it takes to build a WordPress website can vary based on its complexity and your readiness. A simple brochure website with a bespoke design may take less than a month. For more complex sites there may be weeks of discovery, design reviews and extensive time in build and populating meaning the timeline can extend to several months.
WordPress is the most popular CMS, making it a potential target for hackers. Fortunately, its large community is always working to address any vulnerabilities. Security risks often arise from unsupported plugins and outdated software, so it’s essential to keep your WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated regularly.
More often than not we can customise your WordPress website to seamlessly integrate with your specific systems like CRMs, accounts or inventories. Our experienced team will work closely with you to scope and find solutions that ensure your website creates a great experience for your team or customers.
There are a few key steps. First, claim and optimise your Google Business Profile. Then make sure your website includes relevant keywords (like your services and location), loads quickly, and works well on mobile.
Adding fresh, useful content regularly and earning links from other trusted sites also helps improve visibility.
We help Exeter businesses improve their local search presence through sustainable SEO, content planning, and technical optimisation – no fluff, just results.
