Selected experience across the UK
Maidenhead and Berkshire
Workshops can be held at the client's premises when face-to-face input is valuable.
Senior-led process
Discovery, content, design and technical priorities remain connected.
Evidence over decoration
The work prioritises clarity, proof and conversion alongside visual quality.
Who it is for
A useful fit when WordPress is valuable but the current build is not
A Maidenhead business can use WordPress to maintain a considered service offer without repeatedly redesigning pages. The brief should cover publishing responsibilities as well as the visual direction.
Expertise-led teams
Give articles, people and case studies appropriate reusable content types.
Part-time editors
Test common updates with the person who will actually maintain the site.
Existing integrations
Inventory forms, CRM connections and analytics before changing the theme.
What the project can include
WordPress shaped around the content team—not the theme demo
The build keeps editing practical while protecting performance, accessibility and search foundations. It can include:
WordPress technical audit
Review the theme, plugins, hosting, content model, performance and update risks.
Custom theme or rebuild
Create reusable templates around the real content and customer journeys.
Editor experience
Provide structured fields and components that make common updates clear and safe.
Performance work
Optimise assets, queries, caching and third-party scripts around Core Web Vitals.
SEO migration
Preserve valuable URLs and content with canonicals, metadata, redirects and launch checks.
Support and maintenance
Agree updates, monitoring and improvement work without locking the business into opaque tooling.

Selected portfolio work
Gordon & Gotch | WordPress Build
WordPress Development — delivered with Paul Harvey.
A website reskin integrated into editable WordPress templates, delivered with Paul Harvey. The project record does not establish a catalogue integration or operational automation.
This is documented portfolio delivery, not a claim of a Maidenhead client unless the project identifies that location. No ranking, enquiry or revenue increase is inferred from the design work.
View the Gordon & Gotch projectPrepare a useful wordpress development brief
- Provide authorised access to a staging copy, plus the domain, hosting and licence ownership record.
- List editor roles, repeated content types and integrations that must keep working.
- Identify important URLs and enquiries before planning any migration.
Agree the checks before work begins
Test editing, restore procedures, forms, redirects and representative mobile pages. A launch plan reduces migration risk; it cannot guarantee uninterrupted service or unchanged rankings.

WordPress development in Maidenhead: common questions
Do you have an office in Maidenhead?
Meetings can be arranged at your Maidenhead or Berkshire premises, supported by remote reviews. MattDarm does not claim a staffed Maidenhead office.
Do we need to rebuild if the website is hard to update?
Not automatically. An editing audit may identify a smaller change to fields, templates or training. Rebuild when the underlying constraints justify the cost and migration risk.
How do you manage WordPress migration risk?
Plan to retain useful URLs and content, map genuine replacements and check canonicals, metadata, internal links and analytics before launch. These precautions reduce risk but cannot guarantee unchanged rankings or zero downtime. Monitor the live site after release.
Do you use off-the-shelf themes?
The recommendation depends on scope. Custom themes provide stronger control for content-led businesses; a carefully selected foundation can be appropriate when budget and requirements are simpler.
