WordPress Experts in Manchester.

WordPress was initially renowned for its blogging capabilities but has become the go-to choice for web development in recent years. WordPress currently powers over 455 million websites across the world and has the highest market share of any CMS, standing at 63%. The open-source nature of WordPress means that it is constantly updated by an active community with new features and plugins. These updates enhance the powerful capabilities of the CMS. The clean coding of WordPress means that search engines love WordPress websites as they are easy to optimise for SEO. It then comes as no surprise that WordPress is the favourite CMS for our local website designers.

YOUR DESIGN PARTNER

“We have worked with Blue Whale Media for 7 months and have built three websites together. The website launches went well, and we are continuing to receive their support for Google and Facebook ads. They have a wide range of digital services and offered us a variety of customized solutions based on our needs.”

REVIEW BY ARMSTRONGS OPTICIANS

“Alex is brilliant and very talented. Really love my website as do my colleagues and Friends, Thankyou 😊”

REVIEW BY LABOUR AT HEIGHTS

“Lewis, Rachel, Lucy and Catlin who I worked with on this project were amazing in listening to my ideas and then turning them into reality. Still not sure how they managed this but they did! Since the design sign off, I have had the pleasure of working with both Naomi & Jamie on the back end, where both have talked me through each of the steps taken to maintain and update the site since launch. Due to the nature of the site being able to update, and add content was critical and both have been fantastic in supporting my ability to so this. Like anything digital, a site has to perform well as well as look great and the work here looks amazing too. Almost instantly the site was ranking on google’s 1st page for my brand name “Fitzpatrick Photography”. While there is still work for me to do with other key words, based on previous experience with other sites, this is nothing short of wizardry!

In summary, amazing site + amazing team = very happy customer”
