Describe the project

Why UK businesses choose Statamic

The problem with your current CMS

  • WordPress is slow and over-engineered for a marketing site
  • Your CMS confuses editors with unnecessary complexity
  • Plugin updates keep breaking things
  • Hosting costs are higher than they need to be
  • You want Git-deployable content but your current CMS does not support it

What Statamic solves

  • Statamic runs without a database by default. Flat-file means fewer moving parts and faster page loads.
  • Clean content model designed around how editors work. No plugin interfaces cluttering the control panel.
  • No plugin ecosystem to babysit. Statamic's core is stable and updates rarely break things.
  • Statamic runs on standard PHP hosting without a database server. Cheaper to host, easier to move.
  • Content lives in the repository. Git-deployable content is part of how Statamic works.

Statamic work I take on

New Statamic builds

Custom Statamic sites built around your content model. Blueprints, collections and Antlers templates designed for your editorial workflow.

WordPress to Statamic migration

Moving from WordPress to Statamic. Content export, blueprint design, template build and URL redirects handled end to end.

Statamic maintenance

Updates, security patches and changes as your site evolves. Someone who knows your site and the flat-file deployment workflow.

Content modelling

Blueprints and field layouts designed for editors, not developers. Collections, taxonomies and globals structured to last.

Performance work

Static caching, image optimisation and asset pipeline configuration. Statamic is fast by default; proper caching makes it faster.

Statamic technical depth under your brand. I join your tools, follow your process and hand over cleanly.

Why UK businesses choose Statamic

Statamic is designed for marketing sites and editorial builds where the team wants a clean control panel without the plugin accumulation that WordPress inevitably attracts. Flat-file by default, Git-deployable and straightforward to host.

Content lives in the repository alongside the code. This makes staging and deployment simpler. There is no database to sync between environments. A content change in production is a file change, which means it is version-controlled.

For businesses that do not need ecommerce or a large plugin ecosystem, Statamic often delivers a better editorial experience than WordPress at a lower hosting cost.

Working with agencies on Statamic projects

I work as a white-label Statamic developer for agencies. You stay as the client contact. I handle the build, rescue project or ongoing maintenance. Clean handovers, documented code and no client poaching.

Whether your agency needs senior capacity for a new Statamic build or someone to take over a site the previous developer left behind, I can slot into your existing workflow.

Common questions

What is Statamic good for?

Statamic works best for marketing sites, editorial sites and content-heavy builds where the team wants a clean editing experience without WordPress overhead. It is particularly strong for projects where content structure matters, deployment should be Git-based and hosting costs need to be kept low.

Can you migrate an existing WordPress site to Statamic?

Yes. The process involves exporting WordPress content, designing Statamic blueprints to match your content model, building Antlers templates and mapping redirects. I have done this for marketing sites, blogs and brochure sites.

What does a Statamic project typically cost?

Cost depends on scope. A straightforward marketing site migration from WordPress typically takes two to four weeks of development. New builds vary based on content complexity. I give a clear estimate once I understand the content model and what the site needs to do.

Do you do ongoing Statamic support?

Yes. I offer monthly retainers covering updates, security patches and a set number of hours for changes. Retainer clients get priority when something breaks. I also take one-off projects for sites that need specific fixes or improvements.

Is Statamic right for ecommerce?

Statamic is not typically the right choice for ecommerce. There are no mature WooCommerce-equivalent addons, and ecommerce requires the kind of database-backed order management that flat-file CMS platforms are not designed for. For ecommerce, WordPress with WooCommerce or a dedicated platform like Shopify is a better fit.
