In Newcastle

Rescues and rebuilds for sites that grew untidy

Many Newcastle businesses inherited a WordPress site built years ago with a dozen overlapping plugins and heavy sliders. WordPress developers in Newcastle audit what is actually needed, remove the rest and rebuild the pieces that cause slowness or security risks.

Our team is based in Perth and has no Newcastle office, so we are open about how the work happens: scheduled video calls, shared documents and short written updates. We can arrange a visit to Newcastle when a project calls for it.

  • Catalogue structure
  • Hacks cleaned
  • Plugins reduced

Common situations

What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve

Catalogue and content sites

Catalogue and content sites on WordPress can become slow and untidy as they grow. We restructure content types and fields, and tune the database and hosting.

Hacked sites

Hacked sites need careful cleaning, not just deleting files. We remove the infection, find the way in, patch it and harden the site.

Sites with old code

Sites with old custom code and unsupported plugins are risky. We update them in stages, test thoroughly and document what changed.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Can you clean a hacked site?
Yes, we remove the damage, close the gap that let it in and restore the site safely.
Do you build custom plugins?
Yes, when a ready-made plugin will not do the job, we build one to fit your needs.
Will you work on a staging copy?
Yes, so the live site stays safe while we test fixes and changes on a copy.
Can you speed up our site?
Usually, by trimming plugins, tuning images and improving how the site is cached.
Do you build WooCommerce stores?
Yes, including payments, shipping and the admin screens your team will use every day.
Do you offer ongoing care?
Yes, with updates, backups and monitoring so the site stays secure and healthy.
Can WordPress handle a large catalogue?
Yes, with the right structure and hosting. We use custom content types, efficient queries and caching, and test with realistic volumes so the site stays quick as the catalogue grows.
How do you clean a hacked site?
We remove malware, find how it got in, patch the weakness, change all credentials and harden the site, then monitor it. We also check backups so a restore is possible if needed.
How do you reduce plugins?
By auditing every plugin, removing those you do not need, replacing some with small pieces of custom code and keeping the rest updated. This speeds the site and reduces security risk.
Do you offer maintenance?
Yes. We offer updates, backups, security monitoring and changes under a plan, with a regular report, so the site stays safe and fast without you thinking about it.
