WordPress development: builds, rebuilds and fixes

Need a WordPress development company that builds sites your team can run without calling a developer for every change? AntsHum builds WordPress websites, rebuilds bloated sites, adds integrations and tailored functionality, and fixes slow, broken or hacked ones. We work with businesses in India and remotely with companies in the UK, US and UAE, and you deal directly with the developers doing the work.

Built to be edited

WordPress sites your team can actually edit

WordPress itself is excellent. What goes wrong is the way many sites are built: a heavy multipurpose theme, a pile of plugins doing overlapping jobs, and layouts that fall apart when someone changes a heading.

We build the other way round: a lean setup, only the plugins the site needs, and layouts planned around your content. WordPress builds can include custom layouts, page-builder implementations, integrations and tailored functionality depending on project requirements. Repeating content such as services, projects or team members can be set up so your team edits consistent sections rather than rebuilding layouts. Editors get the access they need and nothing that lets them break the site by accident.

  • Global styles for fonts, colours and buttons
  • Reusable sections for consistent pages
  • Layouts planned around repeatable content
  • Editor roles for staff, admin access for you
  • Walkthrough at handover

Our approach

Page builder or a leaner build: how we decide

Elementor is one implementation option that many teams like because it allows visual editing. For content-heavy sites where speed matters most, a leaner, more structured build can suit better. We recommend one in the proposal.

FeaturePage builder (e.g. Elementor)Leaner structured build
Best forTeams who want to design and rearrange pages visuallyContent-heavy sites where speed and consistency come first
EditingDrag-and-drop sectionsStructured editing screens
Page weightHeavier, kept in check with a lean setupLightest, only the code the site uses
Design stays consistentWith global stylesBuilt into the layouts
Survives theme and plugin updatesYesYes

Both options are standard WordPress, so any competent developer can work on your site later.

Beyond the build

Plugins, integrations and WooCommerce

When a well-supported plugin does the job, we use it. When a project needs something more specific, the tailored functionality is scoped in the proposal.

  • Plugin setup and adjustments

    Plugins configured for how your business works, with changes made in ways that survive updates rather than editing plugin files directly.

  • Tailored functionality

    Features such as calculators, listings or member areas, scoped in the proposal and built with the approach that suits the project.

  • Integrations

    Forms to CRMs, WhatsApp, Google Sheets and email tools. We can integrate payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and other suitable providers depending on your market and requirements.

  • WooCommerce

    Online stores on the same WordPress install, with products, payments, shipping and tax set up for your market.

  • Custom layouts

    Page layouts designed for your content, so services, projects and team pages stay consistent as the site grows.

  • Migrate Wix or Squarespace to WordPress

    Content, images and page structure moved across, with 301 redirects from old URLs so search traffic follows.

Existing sites

Fixing, speeding up and securing existing WordPress sites

You do not need a new website to work with us. Send us the website address and what is wrong, and we will look before we quote.

  • WordPress speed optimisation service

    Image compression, caching, script and plugin clean-up, database tidying and hosting advice, measured before and after against Core Web Vitals.

  • WordPress bug fixing and support

    White screens, plugin conflicts, broken layouts, PHP version errors, forms that stopped sending and failed updates.

  • Hack clean-up and security

    Malware removal, updates and a user and password review, then closing the gap that let it happen. Where appropriate, projects can include security hardening and backups.

  • Careful updates

    Where appropriate, changes are tested on a staging copy before going live. Ongoing care is available as a monthly or annual plan.

    Website maintenance plans

Working together

Working with a WordPress team in India

We are based in Bengaluru, and our team has delivered 750+ projects for clients in India and abroad. If you are looking for WordPress developers in India for UK and US businesses, here is how it works: a written scope and price before anything starts, progress shared for your review, and direct contact with the people writing the code. No account managers passing messages along.

Work is organised as a fixed-scope project, a defined development sprint for a batch of fixes or features, or an ongoing care plan. Small, clearly scoped fixes and tasks start from $99. If you are not sure what an ongoing plan should cover, read what to include in a website maintenance plan. Starting from scratch? See business website design.

FAQ

WordPress development questions

Is WordPress good for SEO?

Yes, when it's set up properly. WordPress gives you control over page titles, descriptions, URLs, headings and structured data, and it works well with Google Search Console. What usually hurts SEO on WordPress is a heavy theme, too many plugins or slow hosting, which is why we keep our builds lean and fast.

Should my WordPress site use a page builder like Elementor?

It depends on who edits the site and how. A well-structured page-builder implementation such as Elementor suits teams who want to change and rearrange pages visually. If the site has lots of repeatable content and speed matters most, a leaner, more structured setup may suit it better. WordPress builds can include custom layouts, page-builder implementations, integrations and tailored functionality depending on project requirements. We recommend an approach after seeing your content and how your team works.

Is WordPress secure?

WordPress core is actively maintained and secure when kept up to date. Most WordPress hacks are caused by outdated or abandoned plugins, weak or shared passwords, and poor hosting. We keep the plugin list short, use reputable plugins and set sensible user roles. Where appropriate, projects can include security hardening, two-step login and scheduled backups. A maintenance plan keeps it that way after launch.

Can I update the website myself after launch?

Yes. Your site is built on WordPress, so you can edit text, images and pages without touching code. We give you a walkthrough at handover. If you'd rather not do it yourself, just send us the changes.

Can you speed up a slow WordPress website?

Usually, yes. We start by measuring what is slow, then fix the causes: oversized images, too many plugins, render-blocking scripts, missing caching, a heavy theme or underpowered hosting. Some sites need a few targeted fixes; others are so bloated that a lean rebuild is the better investment. We tell you which before you commit.

Can you move my existing website to WordPress?

Yes. We move your content, rebuild the design, and set up 301 redirects from your old URLs to protect the search traffic you already have. See website redesign for how we handle the switch.

Can you maintain a website you did not build?

Yes. We start with a quick review of the site's health (outdated plugins, backups, security, speed) and tell you what needs fixing before we take it on.

How does working with a WordPress team in India work if we are in the UK or US?

The same way as working with a local team, with less overhead. We agree scope and price in writing, share progress for review, and talk over email, WhatsApp or video calls. You deal directly with the developers doing the work, we reply within 24 hours, and proposals are in USD or another agreed invoice currency.
