WordPress developer in London for builds, fixes and support
Webpixo is a WordPress developer for London businesses that need a new WordPress site, a broken site fixed, or someone to look after updates and security. We build clean sites with as few plugins as possible, so they stay fast and are easier to maintain. Our office is in Perivale, and we support WordPress sites for businesses in Harrow, North West London and across the UK.
What our WordPress service covers
New WordPress websites
We plan and build WordPress sites around your services, using a lightweight theme and only the plugins you really need.
Custom features
We build custom fields, page layouts and small features so your team can edit content easily without breaking the design.
Updates and care
We keep WordPress, your theme and plugins updated, test that nothing breaks, and keep regular backups stored away from your server.
Speed improvements
We find what slows your site down, such as heavy page builders, large images or too many plugins, and fix it.
Fixes and rescues
If your site shows errors, has been hacked or a plugin update has broken something, we track down the cause and repair it.
SEO setup
We configure your SEO plugin, page titles, schema and sitemaps properly, and make sure Google can crawl every important page.
Why WordPress is still a good choice
WordPress powers a very large share of the websites on the internet, which means there is plenty of help, many developers and a tool for almost any job. It is free and open source, so you own your site and can move it to another host or developer whenever you like.
It is also flexible. A WordPress site can be a five page brochure site, a large blog, a booking system or a full shop through WooCommerce. You can edit pages yourself through a simple editor, which suits businesses that change their content often.
The weak point is upkeep. WordPress, themes and plugins release updates regularly, often to fix security issues. A site that is never updated becomes slower and easier to attack over time. That is why we build lean and offer ongoing care.
Fewer plugins, fewer problems
Many WordPress sites we are asked to fix have thirty or more plugins installed, some unused, some doing the same job twice. Each plugin adds code that can slow the site down, clash with others or open a security gap.
When we build, we start with a light theme and add only what is needed. Where a small piece of custom code does the job better than a large plugin, we write it. The result is a site that loads quickly, is easier to update and has fewer things that can go wrong.
If you already have a WordPress site, we can audit it, remove what is not needed and replace heavy page builders where they are causing trouble, without changing how the site looks to your customers.
WordPress support when you need it
Not every business needs a new website. Sometimes you just need someone to update plugins, add a page, fix a form that has stopped sending messages, or work out why the site has suddenly slowed down.
We offer ongoing WordPress support for sites we built and for sites built by others. We check what you have, explain any risks plainly and agree what needs doing. Many of our support clients are in Harrow, Ealing and Brent, close to our Perivale office, but we look after sites for businesses all over the UK.
Search now includes AI answers
Ranking on Google is half the job. Being named by AI is the other half.

WordPress questions
Can you fix my existing WordPress website?
Yes. We fix errors, broken layouts, forms that stop sending, hacked sites and problems caused by plugin updates. We work on a copy of the site first where possible, so your live site stays online while we find the cause.
Why is my WordPress site so slow?
Common causes are heavy page builders, large images, too many plugins and cheap hosting. We test the site, find the main causes and fix them. Often removing unused plugins and compressing images makes a big difference on its own.
How often should WordPress be updated?
WordPress, themes and plugins should be checked for updates at least every week or two, and security updates should be applied quickly. Updates should be tested and backed up first, because a bad update can break a site.
Do I own my WordPress website?
Yes. WordPress is open source, so the site and its content belong to you. You can move it to another host or developer at any time, and we hand over all logins when a project ends.
Is WordPress good for SEO?
Yes, when it is built well. WordPress lets you control page titles, headings, web addresses and schema, and works with good SEO plugins. A slow or badly built WordPress site can hold you back, which is why we keep builds lean.
Do you support WordPress sites built by another developer?
Yes. We start by reviewing the site so we understand how it was built and spot any risks. Then we agree what support you need, whether that is updates, fixes or new features.
Can you move my website to WordPress from another platform?
Yes. We move pages, images and blog posts from platforms such as Wix, Squarespace or older custom sites. We set up redirects from your old web addresses so visitors and Google find the new pages, which protects your search rankings.
