Why WordPress?
WordPress is the world’s most widely used CMS for good reason. It’s flexible enough to power anything from a simple brochure site to a complex web application, and it gives you complete control over your content without needing a developer for every change.
The problem is that most agencies build WordPress sites the wrong way, too many plugins, no performance strategy, and themes that look like templates. We build bespoke, performance-first WordPress sites that are yours to own.
Why Grizzly for WordPress?
There are a lot of web agencies in Bristol. Here’s what makes working with Grizzly different.
Bespoke Theme Development
No templates. Your WordPress site is built from the ground up, making it faster, cleaner and easier to maintain.
Custom Post Types & Fields
We structure your content with custom post types and ACF fields, so it’s easy to manage and scales as you grow.
Performance Optimisation
Fast loading times aren’t optional. We build with performance in mind from day one, lean code, optimised images, smart caching, and proper hosting infrastructure.
Security Hardening
WordPress is a target for hackers when it’s not set up correctly. We implement security best practices from the start, so your site stays protected.
SEO-Ready Structure
Clean code, fast load times, and proper heading structure give your WordPress site the technical foundations it needs to rank.
Training & Handover
We make sure you and your team can actually use your new site. Every project includes a handover session and documentation tailored to how you’ll manage your content.
