Custom WordPress Development UK | Livan Digital Solutions

We'd already paid one agency and been left with a half-finished site nobody could edit. Livan took it over, told us honestly what was salvageable and what wasn't, and got us live in 3 weeks. I'm not technical and I update our site weekly. Every field is labelled in plain English and there's no way for me to break the layout, which is exactly what I needed.

Building smarter with custom WordPress development.

At Livan Digital Solutions, we don’t rely on bloated page builders. We build fast, scalable, and maintainable WordPress websites using custom-built themes and plugins — tailored to your exact needs.

Want a React or Next.js interface on top of it? That is headless WordPress: your editors keep the admin they already know, and visitors get a front end that renders in milliseconds.

Evidenced result

A 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

A 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I run a gift box business in Mutare and most of my orders are last-minute, bought on a phone, often for same-day delivery. Livan understood that straight away and built the site around it rather than trying to talk me into something generic. Customers shop by occasion, search works instantly, and every order lands in my WhatsApp so I can reply within minutes. It matches how people actually buy from me, which is the bit I was worried nobody would get.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came to Livan with a site that couldn't keep up with our application volume. They rebuilt it as a custom theme with the application forms and payment gateway integrated directly, no plugins bolted on top. Our marketing team can update all content without waiting on a developer 🙂.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Livan understood that our site is a lead engine, not a brochure. They built it around our existing brand and marketing tools, so the enquiry forms feed straight into how we already work. The CMS is simple enough that we update finance offers and packages ourselves, the same day we decide on them.

Do you build themes from scratch or customise an existing one?

Both, though we usually recommend building from scratch, because a custom theme carries only the code your site actually needs. If you already have a theme that works for you, we can customise it to match your brand and requirements instead.

Why do you avoid page builders?

They trade short-term convenience for long-term cost: heavy markup, slower Core Web Vitals and a site that is difficult to move away from later. We use ACF instead, so editors get labelled fields for every section while the front end stays lean.

Can you work with my existing WordPress site?

Yes. Start with the free audit. We benchmark your current site against Core Web Vitals, accessibility and SEO, then tell you honestly whether it is better value to optimise what you have or rebuild it. If it does not need rebuilding and you simply want it kept fast, secure and up to date, that is what Livan Care is for.

Do you build online stores?

Yes, using WooCommerce. We set up product, inventory and order management, integrate payment and shipping providers, and keep the checkout fast. That is the part of the journey where speed costs you the most.

How do you price and scope the work?

Fixed scope, fixed price. After the audit you get a written scope and quote, and we build to it with weekly demos, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. If you would rather spread the cost, the same build is available on our pay monthly website plans.

How long does a WordPress build take?

2–4 weeks for a typical marketing site, 6–8 weeks for a WooCommerce store or a build with custom functionality. The delivery date comes with the fixed quote, and the weekly demos let you see it tracking rather than take our word for it. Content is the usual bottleneck: the faster copy, images and feedback come back, the faster we ship.
