Hello! I’m Holly Pryce; a web developer specialising in WordPress. I’ve been building websites and working with WordPress for over a decade, so I know the platform like the back of my hand.
I’m passionate about creating websites that not only look amazing, that are also fast, optimised for search engines, and super easy to use for both you and the visitors to your website.
"I absolutely love working with Holly. Tasks that would have taken me hours to do, take her what seems like mere minutes! Not only does she complete work super quickly and efficiently, she’s also happy to give advice to help me and my clients even more. She truly is a tech wizard and a wonderful person to work with!”
Amber PhillipsTo get started, fill in my enquiry form (there's a link at the bottom of this page) and you'll hear back from me within a couple of days.
From there we will arrange a call to discuss you client's requirements.
Within a few days of our call I will send over a short proposal that will outline the project brief as well as a quote and estimated timeline.
If you're happy with everything in the proposal then we can get your project in my schedule!
About 2 weeks before the development is due to start, we will have a quick call to review the website designs you have created. This is just to make sure we're all on the same page, that the designs match the project scope and that everything is possible to implement.
Once we are all happy with the designs, your client will need to approve and sign off on the designs. These are the designs I will use to build your client's new website.
This step is my favourite step in the process; turning your designs into a fully functioning WordPress theme!
The development phase typically takes 3 weeks, however it might be slightly longer than this if you require additional functionality.
Once I have completed the first draft of the website I will send you a link to the sub-domain that I've built the website on for you.
The project will include 2 rounds of revisions. Revisions are small tweaks to ensure that the website looks as much like the design as possible, or to fix any issues with the website.
Once we have completed the revision phase of the project, the website will be complete and ready to install on the clients website!
Once this has been paid we can arrange a date for me to install the new theme on the client's website.
Now it's time to install the new design on your clients website!
If the client already has a WordPress website up and running, the website will be put into maintenance mode so that I can install the theme. Otherwise, I will set up a fresh WordPress installation for the client.
Once the theme is installed on the client's website, I can then provide the client with training to show them how their new website works.
Training can be provided in one of three ways: a training call over Zoom, pre-recorded videos or written documentation.
It's finally time for the most exciting part of the process; launching!
I'll be on hand the day that your client chooses to launch their website just in case there are any teething issues.
Your client will also receive 30 days of technical support once the website has launched.
In order to build a WordPress website for your client, there’s quite a few things I will need from you, including designs of each page template required (provided as Adobe XD, Photoshop or Illustrator files), a features and functionality guide, and the content for the website.
But don’t worry! I’ll share a list of exactly what I need from you once we’ve booked the project.
I’m based in the UK but I’m happy to work with you where ever you are in the world. Just in bear in mind my office hours are GMT!
I avoid working with page builder as they are bulky and slow, and overall have a negative impact on the website’s performance. However, I do use the default WordPress block editor and can create custom blocks for this if you require any.
If your website currently uses a framework, such as Genesis, and you would like to continue using it, I may be able to create a custom theme using it. Please let me know in our introductory call if this is the case.
To secure your project I take a 30% deposit upfront, and then 30% is due before the start date for development.
The final 40% is due once the theme is developed and must be paid before it can be installed on your website.
All packages include 2 rounds of revisions.
Remember that revisions are small changes. If you would like to make bigger changes to the theme that vary from the design then this may incur additional charges.
If your client want to make changes to the initial design during the build phase please let me know as soon as possible. This may incur additional charges and it will have an impact on the timeline of the project.
I certainly can! If you already have a web designer in mind who you’d like to design your website for you, or if you are looking for recommendations for amazing designers I have collaborated with in the past, just drop me a message and let’s see what we can do.
The entire process normally takes around 6 weeks, but may take longer if additional functionality is required.
Of course! There’s nothing worse than owning a website that you can’t edit yourself, so I always make my themes as editable as possible, and will train your client how to use their website once it’s built.
Unfortunately not. If you’re client requires the ability to change the colours and fonts themselves, a custom WordPress theme might not be the best option for them.
My team comprises of me (Holly!) and another web developer; my partner Tyrone. Together we have over a decade of experience of developing websites, so you’re in safe hands!
