Hello. We’re a WordPress Agency.

Our team designs and builds awesomely simple WordPress sites for people who want better content management.

Bespoke WordPress Solutions.

We plan, design, and build bespoke WordPress sites for clients who want a simple-to-use website built and optimised to generate business from the SERPs.

We create easy-to-manage, bespoke WordPress-powered websites focusing on content, performance and ranking in the search results.

The sites we build are developed for speed and user experience, giving our clients a competitive edge in search and conversions.

Our websites help our clients’ businesses grow by providing a solid, reliable, and easy-to-use marketing platform.

WordPress done right.

We develop websites solely on the self-hosted WordPress CMS.

Our sites are built on our own bare-bones WordPress theme, and we use the Gutenberg editor and Advanced Custom Fields to create truly bespoke sites on both the front and back end.

We use core WordPress code and minimise custom code (where possible) to make our sites future-proof and easy for other developers to understand (should they need to).

This means our clients get exactly what they need, with no superfluous code, no overreliance on Javascript, and a fast and intuitive content editing experience.

The benefits of a custom-built WordPress site.

Future-proof.

Everything we do uses core WordPress code, which will not change any time soon. This means your site will last you for years to come. This also means that any WordPress developer can understand our code.

Easy to use.

A custom front and back end means you get exactly what you want, and it’s designed for you: no more battling with the WYSIWYG. Our sites are intuitive and require zero technical expertise.

Lightweight.

Our sites only contain the code you need and don’t load 1000s of lines of CSS and Javascript on every page. This means they are light, fast, and technically easy to optimise to rank higher in the SERPs.

Flexible.

As it’s built from the ground up, your new site will be able to accommodate anything you need it to do once live. Need to integrate an API? Not a problem. Want to add a new content block? Done in a jiffy.

Easy content management.

We’ve eliminated the need and costs for a developer call to complete most site updates; you can manage everything, from the logo in the header to the footer menus, without the need to call us.

Built to return investment.

Your website should make you money, so our sites are built with SEO and UX at the heart of every decision. We build sites that outrank competitors and get you ranking at the top of the SERPs for your most important keywords.

Simple and intuitive content management.

When your site is built from custom blocks explicitly designed for your content, editing pages and posts is quick and easy.

Never struggle with a complex UI or clunky page builders again; just add your content and publish.

Why go bespoke?

Get everything you need and nothing you don’t.

We’re a WordPress Agency that understands that not all websites are equal.

Whilst it’s easy to install an off-the-shelf WP theme, change a few colours and upload your logo, sites built like this always need rebuilding further down the line when you outgrow the theme or discover that your site is way too slow.

Why would you want a website that loads tons of code you don’t use or requires countless licences and updates to work correctly?

Having a custom WordPress site built means your business gets exactly what it needs without the fluff that slows things down or makes them overly complicated.

Get Started

How our agency builds WordPress sites.

We keep WordPress as simple as possible, focusing on your SEO and visitors.

We use Gutenberg, the built-in WordPress editor, and we add ACF blocks, the most popular custom block plugin for WordPress sites.

We have a default range of custom content blocks that all sites start with (what you see here), including the most common content elements used on most websites.

These include flexible columns, tiles, reviews, quotes, calls to action, tabs, accordions, and so on; they are then designed and styled to match your branding and content requirements.

You’ll have content that needs specific treatment, so we design and build new blocks for your content in these cases.

This all comes together to give you a content kit for your site to build your pages, drag-and-drop content arrangement and copy blocks from one page to another.

We also use WP Patterns, another built-in WP feature that allows global content blocks to be created and dropped into your content wherever needed.

Everything is pre-styled according to your branding and design preferences, so there’s no messing around with code or CSS; just add your content and publish and everything will look exactly as it should.

Our reviews

What our clients have to say about our work.

The DIF logo

Toast has delivered creative proposals and excellent work. They have been patient and supportive throughout the project, helping us understand various procedures and accommodating changes in our plans. We are very pleased with the final outcome.

logo-Frovi

Toast and the web support team, especially Aaron, Devan and Charlotte have always been so helpful with our website and support over the last few years (including all my challenging requests!)

fresh relavence logo

We have just migrated our website to WordPress and Toast has helped us with the design of the new site and the migration of all the content. The project was fairly complex due to the number of pages and the requirement of keeping the same URL and website structure. Toast design helped us throughout the project from planning to post go-live checks. They have demonstrated great knowledge and expertise.

TheVictorianSociety-logo

Toast have been the very best partner. They have been patient and supremely helpful. Their team have responded to our brief and given us over and above what we asked so we can continue campaigning for Victorian and Edwardian buildings and structures as we have done since 1958.

Dave and the team at Toast are spectacular in all areas of expertise. I need a very specific site for a very specific audience, and to be fair, it was right out of their comfort zone, but they smashed it!!

LSA lgo

The team at Toast delivered the WordPress website we required. Great communication and nice to work with. Thanks.

Like Zero Logo

Toast provides us with fantastic and quick service. We work closely with Charlotte and she’s always super responsive and helpful! Highly recommend.

Team GB Live logo

The team at Toast consistently deliver great work and has worked across multiple websites and projects with us. The online support services are really useful for logging requests and the team is always friendly and helpful.

imrg logo

Everything about the service was excellent! The way the team adapted to our preferred ways of working and the management of the various parts of the project was always on point. I would recommend Toast to anyone looking for a full-service website and design agency.

spotlight-recruitment-logo

Toast have gone above and beyond on our new website, they understood what we needed and our Developer Jade had the creativity and ability to take it to the next level. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a trusted agency partner who can deliver outstanding results.

We’ve designed and built a range of free plugins for people to use on their sites including a mobile menu plugin and an SEO plugin.

You work directly with the experts.

Stuff gets done better and more efficiently when you are talking to someone who does the work rather than someone who just manages the work.

We’re results-driven.

We don’t like building sites that look pretty and achieve nothing. We generate 100% of our own new business from our websites and SEO, so we know how to get there.
