A small studio that writes the code itself.
Livan Digital Solutions is a fully remote development studio. We build custom WordPress sites, React and Next.js front ends, and WooCommerce stores for businesses across the UK.
We are deliberately small. That means the person you brief is the person who writes the code, and it means we take on work we can genuinely do well rather than everything that comes past.
What we do
Custom WordPress development
Hand-coded themes powered by ACF, with no page builders and nothing you cannot move elsewhere.
Front-end development
React, Next.js and TypeScript interfaces, including headless front ends that sit on top of WordPress.
WooCommerce stores
Product, stock and order management, payment and delivery integration, and a checkout that stays fast.
Pay monthly websites
The same custom build, spread across a 12-month term instead of landing as one invoice up front.
Livan Care
Updates, backups, monitoring and support for sites that are already live, whoever built them.
SEO and performance
Technical SEO, structured data and Core Web Vitals work, measured against real UK network conditions.
How we work.
Everything we ship is hand-coded. Page builders pile on markup and JavaScript, slow pages down and tie you to one vendor โ so we build custom themes on Advanced Custom Fields instead, where editing stays simple and the front end stays fast.
- Fixed scope and a fixed quote before anything starts
- Weekly demos, so you watch it take shape rather than take our word
- WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility built in, not bolted on afterwards
- Core Web Vitals budgeted at the start of a build
- Your code, in your repository, with nothing licensed back to us
Who we work with.
Mostly owner-run UK businesses between two and fifty people: firms whose website is a real route to enquiries rather than a brochure nobody updates.
We work with agencies and in-house teams too, taking the build while they keep the client relationship or the design.
What we all have in common is a preference for being told the truth about what a website will cost, how long it will take and what it will not fix.
What you can expect.
The four things we hold ourselves to on every project.
A straight answer
Including when the answer is that you do not need what you asked for, or that another agency is a better fit.
A price that holds
The quote is the quote. If scope changes we tell you what it costs before we do it, never afterwards on an invoice.
Work you can see
Weekly demos on a real URL from the first week, so progress is something you check rather than something you are told about.
No lock-in
Your code, your hosting, your domain, documented well enough for someone else to pick up. Staying with us should be a choice.
Two builds, documented end to end

Evidenced result
Read the full B2B rebuild case studyA decade of legacy code replaced with a B2B platform the team can run themselves. Quote-to-order with purchase order validation and duplicate detection, SKU and OEM reference search that tolerates part numbers typed from memory, and a content workflow that no longer needs a developer on standby.

Evidenced result
See how the WhatsApp ordering was builtA catalogue scattered across Instagram posts and WhatsApp broadcasts replaced with a real WooCommerce storefront. Browsing by occasion and box size, visible pricing on every product, and a cart that closes out in a pre-filled WhatsApp message rather than a checkout form the owner never wanted.

Frequently asked questions
The people writing the code. We are deliberately small and senior, so there is no account manager relaying messages between you and a developer you never meet, and nothing is quietly handed to a junior.
No. We are a fully remote studio and everything from the first call to launch happens online โ video calls, a shared staging link you can watch the build on, and a WhatsApp thread for quick questions. Our working day starts ahead of yours, so anything sent overnight is usually answered before you open your laptop.
Two ways. Fixed scope and fixed price for a one-off build, or monthly if you would rather spread it โ see pay monthly websites for new builds and Livan Care for looking after a site you already have.
Often that is the arrangement. We can take the parts your team has no capacity for, review work already underway, or build one layer while your developers handle another. We document as we go, so handing back is straightforward.
We do not build on page builders, resell templates as bespoke work, or take on SEO that depends on tricks rather than a genuinely better site. We will also tell you when a rebuild is not worth it, which occasionally costs us the job.
With a free audit. We look at your current site โ or your brief, if there is not one yet โ and come back with what we would do, what it would cost and how long it would take. No obligation and no pressure afterwards.
