That’s less than great, isn’t it? If your site is slow, buggy, doesn’t convert, doesn’t receive the traffic levels you need, and feels uninspired, we’re not surprised you’re here. Every day clients come to us frustrated with their site’s current state, searching for the right team to fix it. And, that’s usually us!

“What can we do about it?” Well, we’d start with the below:
It should always be easy for your customers to get in touch with you or make a purchase. This is true for most businesses, regardless of industry. The primary goal of your website should be that it’s easily found and easy to use. We’d also look at strategically placing calls to action (or CTAs) across your website. These play a big part in your website’s conversion optimisation. Their relevance, messaging and placement are vital.
This is how you create an awesome user experience. Of course, there are other bells and whistles to include but fundamentally, it comes down to good design. A design that is tailored to your business and your website's primary goals. At KIJO, we’d uncover your user personas and build an aesthetically appealing website which speaks directly to your clients. We’d also curate a design system that ensures brand consistency, strengthening brand trust and awareness for your user.
For the past decade, we’ve used and continue to use WordPress across the hundreds of websites we’ve built for clients. That’s because it ranks well for SEO and has excellent blogging features. It’s obviously not as simple as just installing WordPress and ranking number one on Google! That takes consistent work, month on month. But, WordPress is a great platform and one that provides the ultimate foundations to supercharge that growth.
Fundamentally, a fast, well-performing website is great for several reasons. Namely, your users will thank you and Google loves a snappy website. So, what do we do? Our team implement caching (a high-speed data storage layer that means the files powering your site can be accessed quickly) and we optimise your images so they’re low in size, high in quality. We get your Google Lighthouse score to 90+, we offer excellent hosting, and we use a reliable Content Delivery Network (CDN).

If you’ve still got some questions, these are the most frequent ones we get.
WordPress powers over 43% of websites globally and is optimised for both user experience and SEO. Beyond the numbers, WordPress gives us flexibility. We can build fully custom designs without reinventing the wheel each time, which means faster delivery and lower cost to you. It’s also easy to maintain after launch. Your team can update content, add blog posts, and manage the site without needing a developer on speed dial. For an agency, it’s the best balance of power, speed and maintainability.
WordPress offers flexibility through plugins and custom themes without requiring you to rebuild from scratch, while fully custom code gives total control at the cost of longer development timelines and higher maintenance. For most businesses, WordPress is the smarter choice. You get 90% of the functionality you’d get from custom code, launch faster, and can hand it off to your team to manage. Custom code makes sense if you need something genuinely unique that WordPress can’t support. We’ll be honest with you about which is right for your project.
Web design focuses on the look, layout and user experience of your website; web development covers the technical build, integrations, and functionality that makes it work. At KIJO, we do both. Our designers create the visual experience and user journeys in Figma, then our developers bring those designs to life with clean code, integrations and performance optimisation. You get consistency and accountability because the same team owns both sides rather than handing off between specialists.
Yes. Every website we build includes training and a visual editor so you can manage content, add pages and update text without needing a developer. We’ll walk you through the basics during handover and provide documentation so you can confidently make changes. If you want ongoing support, that’s what our WordPress Maintenance and KIJO Optimise packages are for. We handle the updates, backups and performance monitoring so you don’t have to.
Yes, we regularly redesign and rebuild existing WordPress sites to improve performance, modernise the design, fix security issues or add new functionality. If your current site is slow, hard to manage, or just doesn’t reflect your brand anymore, we can transform it. We’ll audit what’s working, plan the rebuild, and migrate your content safely so you don’t lose rankings or backlinks.
Our WordPress maintenance packages include plugin and theme updates, security monitoring, daily backups, performance optimisation and a monthly strategy report. We handle the technical upkeep so your site stays secure, fast and stable. Learn more about our maintenance packages here.
