Independent WordPress web developer based in Manchester. Assisting Churches and Parishes across the UK as a Church web developer since 2009, providing affordable and straightforward website development services.
How it works
WordPress is by far the most popular content management system in the world (it powers 43% of websites) and I use it for all my projects. I typically work with Churches and Parishes that want a presence online that will make an impact in their community but don’t have a large budget.
As a Church web developer I utilise a particular range of tools and software and create a feature rich robust website that can rival a much more expensive build.
The process is very straightforward, together we review your content and messaging, see if there are any gaps and put together a plan to build a complete picture.
I then design a structure and layout to get the most out of your content. I take care of all the back end aspects of the build and we work on the front end together using a test website that we can view online.
After the website is launched I look after it for you. Ongoing service and support for all aspects of your website, not just the technical things such as hosting, security and back ups but the management of your content.
Any time you want to amend, adjust or add to your website simply send me the content and we will do the rest. Or if you prefer I can teach you to do it.

FAQ
WordPress is open source web software that you can install on your web server to power your website, blog, community or network.
WordPress started out life as a tool for blogging, but it has evolved into a fully-fledged Content Management System (CMS), capable of powering websites, networks and communities. Source.
One of the principle advantages of WordPress is that you are in control. Unlike services such as Blogger and LiveJournal, we host WordPress on our own server.
Installation is very simple, as is the configuration. (We take care of this for you) Unlike other software programs, there are not a million files or templates to edit just to get your site set up and looking the way you want.
Also, pages in WordPress are generated on the fly whenever a page is requested, so you do not have multiple archive pages clogging up your web space. Waiting for pages to rebuild is a thing of the past because template changes are made in seconds.
WordPress is built following W3C standards for XHTML and CSS, ensuring that your site is more easily rendered across standards-compliant browsers.
Other browsers are also supported. Aggregator support is built-in with a number of standard RSS configurations already done for you.
Following standards makes your WordPress site easier to manage, increases its longevity for future Internet technology adoption, and helps to give your site the widest audience possible. Source.

More than likely yes, we often work with people that have had a WordPress site built but need to learn a little bit more about how to get the most from it. We can review your existing site, suggest improvements and provide training and support.
