How are our WordPress websites built?

In order to build every WordPress website, Priority Pixels uses a set of open-source software called a LAMP stack. An acronym, LAMP typically consists of four software components: a Linux operating system, an Apache HTTP server, a MySQL database system and PHP programming language. All these elements sit in layers and support each other.​

All Priority Pixels websites are custom-made, designed in Figma by our in-house graphic designers and developed using custom HTML5, CSS3 and PHP by our in-house web developers. We do not use themes, page builders or third-party code. If you are seeking quotes from other agencies, we recommend you check what you are getting as a website built with a page builder such as Elementor or WP Bakery is not custom and is very likely to cause you issues in the future.​

To help keep costs as competitive as possible we do not build custom-made content management systems (CMS). A bespoke CMS would take a considerable time to create and increase the project costs. Unlike an open-source CMS, a bespoke system would tie you the client, to us the agency because we would own that system. An open-source CMS gives you the freedom to move to another agency should you wish to.​

Our open-source CMS of choice is WordPress. The reason we use WordPress is because it is the most widely used and extensively developed CMS available in the world today. WordPress enhances search engine optimisation efforts and comes with a CMS that enables clients to update their content with ease.​

We use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to improve admin functionality even further, paying particular attention to usability and ensuring that your website is as easy to manage as possible.

With custom features and functionalities built specifically for your needs, your website will not only engage your audience but become a powerful asset that drives results and supports your business goals.

    Priority Pixels believes in building long-term partnerships with clients, providing ongoing support and maintenance to keep your site running smoothly, up-to-date and performing at its best. Working with our experienced WordPress developers means gaining a strategic partner dedicated to your digital success, ensuring your website is always aligned with your business objectives and ready to make an impact.

  • SEO-Optimised WordPress Development

    A beautifully designed website is just the beginning-it also needs to be found by your target audience. That’s why SEO-optimised WordPress development is so important. At Priority Pixels, every site we develop is crafted with search engine best practices in mind, ensuring it not only attracts visitors but is easily discoverable by search engines. From clean coding and fast load times to responsive design and intuitive site structure, we build WordPress sites designed for optimal visibility and performance.

    SEO techniques are integrated directly into our development process. This includes crafting search-friendly URLs, optimising meta tags, and implementing schema markup to enhance how your site appears in search results. We also prioritise site performance and speed, optimising every WordPress site for fast load times across devices by using image compression, caching, and streamlined coding practices.

    With the rise in mobile searches, our mobile-first approach ensures your WordPress site is user-friendly across all devices, which also improves search engine rankings. We also focus on security, implementing robust measures and using trusted plugins to create a safe environment—building trust with your audience and contributing to a stronger online presence.

  • WordPress Maintenance & Security

    Just like owning a car, a WordPress website needs regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly. We offer a comprehensive range of WordPress maintenance services, so you can leave the technical aspects to us. Our maintenance packages include regular updates to the WordPress core and plugins, which are essential for maintaining security, fixing bugs and ensuring compatibility with the latest features and technologies. These updates not only keep your WordPress website functioning efficiently but also protect it from vulnerabilities.

    For those needing advanced security measures, we offer an elevated level of protection. We take a thorough approach to WordPress security, incorporating practices like strong usernames and passwords, limiting login attempts and changing the default login URL to reduce risk. To add an extra layer of security, we disable unnecessary features such as file editing and XML-RPC, while also running regular malware scans and implementing a web application firewall (WAF). For additional peace of mind, we can further safeguard your site by restricting admin access by IP and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA).

    While no system can guarantee complete immunity to threats, our comprehensive measures provide the highest level of protection for your WordPress site. And in the rare case of a security breach, we will address any issues promptly as part of a maintenance agreement, with the capability to fully restore your site from our backup system.

  • WordPress Performance

    WordPress performance is critical for user experience, search engine rankings and overall success. A fast, responsive website keeps visitors engaged and reduces bounce rates, which is why optimising WordPress performance is essential. At Priority Pixels, we use tools like WP Rocket to enhance site speed through page caching. Caching creates static versions of your dynamic content, reducing server load and delivering pages to users more quickly. WP Rocket goes beyond basic caching by offering features like cache preloading, file compression and database optimisation, all of which contribute to quicker load times and a smoother browsing experience. With WP Rocket’s intuitive setup, your WordPress site benefits from significant speed improvements without the need for complex configurations.

    In addition to caching, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare can further boost your site’s performance. A CDN works by distributing your website’s content across a global network of servers, ensuring that users access your site from a server that is geographically closest to them. This not only decreases load times but also reduces the burden on your main hosting server. Cloudflare, one of the leading CDNs, offers added benefits like security features, DDoS protection and automatic image optimisation, all of which contribute to a more robust and efficient WordPress website. By combining page caching with a reliable CDN, your website can achieve optimal performance and security, providing a seamless experience for visitors worldwide.
