For many of our clients, WordPress offers the ideal solution for a hardworking, highly functional website.
Whilst building a WordPress site can be relatively straightforward, building a WordPress site that not only performs well but delivers traffic and those all important conversions is an entirely different matter.
At Urban Element we are a professional, specialist WordPress developer with a track record spanning two decades. It’s our commitment to quality, technical ability and innate commercial understanding that keeps our clients with us year after year.

WordPress is the most popular way to build a website for a reason. If you want to build any type of website, from a blog to an eCommerce website, WordPress is a great option.
WordPress is easy to manage yourself on a day-to-day basis, making it a great choice for dynamic businesses that want to engage regularly with their target audience. Many of our clients look after their own sites for basic updates and then come to us for more structural changes and support.
We’ve built more WordPress websites than we’ve had hot dinners which is one of the reasons our clients stick with us year after year.
What they sayI have worked with Urban Element on 2 website builds and PPC campaigns. Well organised, professional and a good balance of discussion vs recommendation. Not a pushy agency who always think they know best and trying to get more from you. Collaborative, supportive, understated and good value.

Moving your current website across to WordPress is a smart move! We handle the whole process for you. To begin with, we start with an evaluation of your current website to ascertain what special features your need in your new WordPress site.
Our solid WordPress development processes for designing and building new sites mean you are kept in the loop throughout with regular reporting and milestones. Once the new site is almost ready we undertake comprehensive testing and debugging to make sure everything works effortlessly before seamlessly migrating your URL from your existing website over to your new site.
Over time, WordPress sites can accumulate a lot of plugins. Whilst plugins are essential to extending the functionality of your website they can also cause problems if there are too many. This can cause your site to load slowly, lose menu links, and even potentially malfunction altogether.
We work with our clients to conduct a regular ‘spring clean’ of plugins, removing those that are no longer needed, whilst updating those that are. Keeping add ons updated and tidy can also help to reduce your overall code requirements and less is often more! With a clean and tidy WordPress website with minified code you can actually bolster your SEO efforts as well as providing a smoother user experience.
We create beautiful and highly effective ecommerce websites on WordPress using the WooCommerce plugin.
WooCommerce is one of the most effective tools for both small and large retailers. We use it to create enticing online storefronts, showcase physical and digital goods, manage bookings, memberships, subscriptions and integrate dynamic pricing. WooCommerce built sites can also rise to the top of search engines fast thanks to the plugin’s SEO friendliness.
What they sayWe are delighted with the website that Urban Element have built for us. They systematically carried through on the brief they initially proposed for our new site and our first 3 month review last week showed the site has very positive performance figures. They know what they doing! It's satisfying and reassuring to know that the time and money we have put into our new site is reaping rewards - and we hope that with Urban Element's continued support, the site will continue to showcase our business and bring in new clients.
