WordPress websites for small businesses in the UK and Thailand

WP Helpdesk is a two-person web studio. We have been building and looking after WordPress sites since 2014, from Bournemouth in Dorset and from Pattaya in Thailand. New builds, rebuilds of tired sites, monthly care plans and custom plugin work.

What we do

Four things, done properly, by the two people who will actually do the work. No account managers, and your project does not get handed to a junior.

WordPress websites/wordpress-websitesA new site designed and built for your business, on WordPress, with a page structure search engines can read.Website rebuilds/website-rebuildYou already have a site. It is slow, dated, hard to edit, or it has never brought in a single enquiry. We rebuild it.WordPress care plans/wordpress-care-plansHosting, updates, security, backups and a person to email when something breaks. Care Lite £79, Standard £149, Plus £249/month.Custom WordPress plugins/custom-wordpress-pluginsWhen a business needs something WordPress does not do out of the box, we write the plugin that does it.

How a project runs

The same five steps whether the site is five pages or fifty.

  1. 1

    A call, or an email if you prefer

    Twenty minutes on what the business does, who you want to reach, and what the current site is failing to do. No pitch deck.

  2. 2

    A written scope and a fixed price

    Pages, features, who writes the copy, who supplies the photos, and what it costs. You approve it before anything gets built.

  3. 3

    Design first, then build

    You see the homepage design before we build the rest. Changes at that stage are cheap. Changes after launch are not.

  4. 4

    Launch on hosting we run

    We host on our own cPanel servers, set up SSL, submit the sitemap to Google Search Console, and check every page on a phone before it goes live.

  5. 5

    A care plan, if you want one

    Updates, backups, security and small changes handled monthly. If you would rather look after it yourself, that is fine too.
