Web Development in Cheltenham, by Actual Engineers

Custom WordPress development, plugins, integrations and full web applications — the engineering layer most design agencies can't offer.

CHELTENHAM WEB DEVELOPMENT

Where Design Stops, Development Begins

Plenty of agencies can make a website look right. Web development is what happens when your site needs to do something: take bookings your way, show trade prices to trade customers, talk to your accounts package, run a quoting engine, or become a full web application.

We're software engineers who build for the web: custom WordPress development, commercial-grade plugins, API integrations and complete web apps. If you can describe what your business needs, we can usually build it.

WHAT WE BUILD

Development Capability Most Agencies Outsource

Custom WordPress

Bespoke themes, custom post types and functionality built lean, not bolted on.

Plugin Development

From small custom plugins to the commercial WooCommerce plugins we sell ourselves.

API Integrations

Xero, CRMs, couriers, payment providers — make your systems talk to each other.

Web Applications

Full React web apps like our own CRM platform, CRMit, with Xero integration.

Performance Engineering

We rebuild slow sites properly. This site scores 99/100 — receipts, not claims.

Ongoing Development

A long-term engineering partner as your business and its systems grow.

RECEIPTS, NOT PROMISES

Shipped, Not Just Promised

Judge a development team by what they've actually built and run. We built CRMit, a full CRM platform with Xero integration. We built WLU Commerce, the commerce and licensing engine that sells our own products. We develop and support commercial WooCommerce plugins used by real shops, and this website, scoring 99/100 for performance, is our own work too.

That's the difference between an agency that outsources development and a team that does it for a living.

INTEGRATIONS

Make Your Systems Talk to Each Other

The most expensive thing in most small businesses is re-typing: orders copied into the accounts package, enquiries copied into a spreadsheet, stock counted twice. Almost all of it can be wired away. We build integrations between your website and the systems you already use, accounting, CRM, stock, couriers, payment providers.

One connection that saves your team an hour a day pays for itself embarrassingly fast.

WHO WE HELP

For Businesses That Have Outgrown 'Just a Website'

Our development clients usually arrive with a sentence that starts: 'Our website can't...' Booking systems, member areas, customer portals, quote calculators, automated workflows, custom reporting. We design and build the missing piece, and because we maintain and host too, it keeps working after launch.

We're also happy working alongside your existing designer or agency, building the engineering layer behind their design.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions

Design is how your site looks and persuades; development is what it can do — custom features, integrations, applications. Most agencies are strong at one. We do both in-house, which matters because the best results come when they're engineered together.
It depends entirely on scope, so we quote per project after understanding what you need. Small custom features are often surprisingly affordable; full applications are bigger investments. Either way you get a clear, itemised quote before any work starts — and if a £40 off-the-shelf plugin would solve it, we'll tell you.
Usually, yes — including sites built by other agencies. We'll review the codebase first and tell you honestly whether your site can take the feature cleanly or whether it needs firmer foundations.
WordPress and WooCommerce at code level (we publish commercial plugins), PHP, JavaScript and React for web applications, and REST APIs for integrations with systems like Xero, CRMs and couriers.
Yes — integrations are one of our specialities. We built our own CRM platform with full Xero integration, so connecting your website to your accounts, stock or customer systems is well-trodden ground.
Happily. Several of our projects are the engineering layer behind someone else's design — we're comfortable as the development partner, white-label or credited.
