WordPress Websites
A website that works as hard as you do.
Whether you need a simple brochure site or something more complex, we handle the full process from design through to launch. Built on WordPress, hosted and supported by us for the long term.
What we build
WordPress Websites. Done
properly.
By focusing exclusively on WordPress, every build benefits from deep platform expertise rather than surface-level knowledge across too many tools.
Brochure Websites
Professional websites for businesses that need a strong online presence. Clear messaging, fast performance and built to convert visitors into enquiries.
Organisation Websites
Websites for not-for-profits, community groups and associations. Structured for easy content management with multiple contributors and public-facing information.
Multi-site Builds
Multiple websites managed from a single WordPress installation. Ideal for businesses with separate brands, locations or service divisions that share common infrastructure.
Platform Migrations
Moving from Wix, Squarespace or an outdated platform? We migrate your site to WordPress with clean code, proper hosting and a fresh start. Stuck on PHP 7.4 or an unsupported build? We can help with that too.
Small WooCommerce Stores
Simple e-commerce for businesses selling a small number of products. WooCommerce set up, configured and ready to take orders. For larger stores, we work with specialist partners.
Redesigns and Rebuilds
Existing WordPress site looking tired or underperforming? We redesign and rebuild it with modern standards, clean code and proper hosting. A fresh look without starting from scratch.
Our process
From first conversation to
launch day.
We keep things straightforward. Here is how a typical project runs from start to finish.
Discovery
We learn about your business, your goals and what you need from your website. We will let you know if we are the right fit and what the next steps look like.
Design
Depending on your needs, design is handled in-house or with one of our trusted design partners. If you already have a designer, we are happy to work with them.
Development
Once the design is approved and content is ready, we build your site in WordPress. Every page is developed for speed, mobile responsiveness and easy content management.
Review
You review the developed site and we make adjustments based on your feedback until you are completely happy with the result.
Launch
We handle DNS, SSL, final testing and go-live. Your site launches on our managed hosting with backups, monitoring and security already in place.
On-going support
We do not disappear after launch. Your site is hosted and supported by us for as long as you need. Training is included so you can manage content confidently.
What you get
More than just a website.
Every website we build comes with hosting, support and the tools you need to keep it running. No hidden costs, no surprises after launch.
Already have a designer you love working with? Great. We are happy to collaborate with them on the development side.
Design tailored to your business
Handled in-house for simpler projects, or through our trusted design partners for more complex builds. Either way, you get a design that fits.
WordPress development
Clean, structured code built on Elementor, Divi or WPBakery. Optimised for speed, mobile responsiveness and easy content management.

Control Shift are always amazing to deal with, with expertise second-to-none. Having worked with them for years, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who’s looking to up their web game.

“Alex Clark
The Caretakers
I’ve been using Paul and the team at Control Shift for a number of years now – for their exceptional hosting and tech services and also to have the websites I design, developed into working sites. I’ve consistently been impressed on all fronts, as have my clients.
“Tim Kavermann
Fuel Media
So stoked with Control Shift, they have been incredibly generous with their time and support while we’ve been getting our website right. They’ve shown a lot of patience and care throughout the process, and the end result looks awesome. Really appreciate their flexibility and the extra effort they’ve put in to help us out.

Frequently asked
Website questions
Common questions about our WordPress development service.
Do you build websites from scratch or work from an existing design?
Both. We can take a finished design from your designer or design partner, or for simpler builds we can handle the design in-house. For more complex projects, we work alongside trusted design partners.
Will I be able to make changes to my website myself?
Yes. Every site we build is set up so you can easily update content, add pages and make small changes yourself. We provide training after launch and we’re always here if you’d rather we make changes for you.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes, for small to medium WooCommerce stores. For larger or more complex e-commerce projects, we work with trusted partners who specialise in high-volume stores and advanced workflows.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope, content readiness and design complexity. Most projects move into development once design is signed off and content is finalised. We always provide a realistic timeline at the proposal stage.
What page builders do you use?
We work with Elementor, Divi and WPBakery. Limiting ourselves to these keeps our builds consistent and makes ongoing care simpler and more reliable.
What if I need changes after launch?
That’s what our care plans are for. We can make changes, add features, fix issues and keep things moving as your business evolves. You’ll always have a real person to talk to.
