WordPress support for London businesses
WordPress developer for London businesses
I am a senior WordPress developer with 25 years of experience, working remotely with London businesses and agencies. I fix, take over and look after WordPress and WooCommerce sites that other people built. Your site gets a look first, then a fixed price for the fix.

25 years building and fixing websitesOne person, so you always talk to me.
A senior WordPress developer without the London rate card
Senior WordPress developers in London are hard to find, harder to keep and expensive to hire. Agencies hit the same wall when a job needs more technical depth than their team has.
Based in Leicester, I have worked on more than 1,000 projects. London clients work with me through copies of their site, version control and screen share. You get a senior developer when you need one, without a London salary or an agency retainer.
What I do for London WordPress sites
- Site rescue and takeover Your last developer has gone. The code, plugins, hosting and security get checked before anything changes.
- WooCommerce fixes Checkout faults, slow product pages, payment problems and plugin clashes. Find the cause, fix it, then check the result with real data.
- WordPress maintenance Updates tested on a copy first, then put live. Security fixes, backup checks and plugin checks on a set schedule.
- Speed fixes Slow pages lose sales. Measure, fix and measure again, so you see the difference in numbers.
- Hosting moves Moving to WP Engine, Kinsta or Cloudways, tested at every step. No lost data and no surprises.
- White-label work for agencies Expert WordPress help under your brand. The client stays yours.
Case study
A WooCommerce shop that went from timing out to loading in under a second
The TMKEd worksheets shop came to me through an agency. Pages timed out and sales were falling. After the speed work, pages load in under a second and sales went up 24%.

- +24%Sales in the first few weeks
Our previous developer disappeared and left us with a site we could not update safely. Billy came in, audited everything, and now we have confidence in our website for the first time in years.
How I work with London agencies
London has a lot of digital agencies. Their need for senior WordPress help goes up and down, and a full-time hire for that is expensive. So agencies hand me fixes, takeovers and monthly care for their clients' sites, white-label.
Most of these partnerships start with one job. Often it is a WooCommerce shop with a deep fault, or a site where the last supplier left no notes. Once we know each other, the work usually carries on.
Slack, Basecamp, Jira or Asana, I use whatever tools you already have. If you want, I join the standups and go live on the agreed release schedule. The client sees your brand, not mine.
WordPress consultant for London businesses
Some London clients do not need a developer. They need a consultant. They have their own team, a WordPress site that is not working well and a decision to make about what comes next.
These are typical consulting jobs.
- reviewing a site before you buy the business that owns it
- checking a set of plugins for security risks
- planning a move to new hosting
- writing a technical brief before you ask agencies to bid
- a written opinion your own team can act on
What you get is a clear written report, not code. Written by someone with nothing to sell you in the bidding, it saves money and cuts the risk of buying the wrong fix.

Common questions from London clients
Why work with a remote developer instead of someone in London?
WordPress jobs do not need anyone in the room. They happen on copies of your site and in shared code. Calls happen during working hours, in the tools you already use. You get senior help without paying London rates.
How does white-label work for agencies?
You present the finished job to your client as your own. I follow the process and tools you already have, and clients never hear from me directly. Most agencies hand me single jobs or monthly care.
What kinds of London businesses do you work with?
Professional services, publishing, retail, education and finance. Most have a WordPress or WooCommerce site that earns money and needs someone reliable to fix and look after it.
How quickly can you start on urgent work?
If your site is down or hacked, I can usually start the same day. For planned work, you get a realistic start date based on what is already booked in.
Do you work as a WordPress consultant?
Yes. Some London clients only need advice, such as a site review, a plugin risk check or a written report. The output is a report instead of code, from the same senior developer.
How does this compare to a London WordPress agency?
A London agency's price covers account managers, project managers and a full team. If one senior developer is enough, going direct removes that cost. You also talk to the person doing the job.
How much do you charge?
Every site is different, so I look first. Fixes get a fixed price per job. Monthly care is quoted for your site once I have seen it.
Is the work done in the UK?
Yes. Everything is done by me, in the UK, during UK working hours. Nothing is sent offshore and there is no chain of hand-offs. The person on the phone is the person writing the code.
Where else I work
I work as a WordPress developer across the UK, from Leicester. I also work with WordPress clients in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Bristol. Still working out who to hire? Read how to find a reliable WordPress developer in the UK.
