Mako Digital provides expert WordPress development for businesses in Horwich. Custom themes built from scratch, bespoke functionality, WooCommerce, booking systems, member portals, and API integrations — all built in clean PHP without page builder bloat.
Whether you need a straightforward business site or a complex custom build, we scope it clearly, price it fairly, and build it properly. No templates, no shortcuts, no surprises.
From simple brochure sites to complex custom applications — all built in WordPress, all coded from scratch.
Every theme built from scratch in PHP with inline CSS — no Divi, no Elementor, no Beaver Builder. Clean code that loads fast, ranks well, and looks nothing like a template.
Custom WooCommerce builds for Horwich businesses selling online. Product catalogues, variable products, digital downloads, subscription models, and custom checkout flows.
Custom booking integrations for trades, services, health & beauty, hospitality. Amelia, Calendly, or bespoke built — whichever fits your Horwich business workflow.
Password-protected content, user registration, custom dashboards, document libraries, training portals. Built properly in WordPress without heavy membership plugins that slow everything down.
Connecting WordPress to CRMs, payment gateways, SMS platforms, email marketing tools, accounting software, and any other system your Horwich business relies on.
Existing WordPress site running slow? We audit, identify the bottlenecks, and fix them — caching, image optimisation, database cleanup, hosting configuration. Fast sites rank better and convert more.
Page builders like Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder are popular because they make building a website feel fast. The problem is what they leave behind — layers of bloated HTML and CSS that slow load times, create SEO problems, and break when the plugin updates.
Custom PHP development produces leaner, faster, more reliable sites. Every line of code serves a purpose. There are no unused widget libraries, no inline style overrides stacked six levels deep, no dependency on a third-party plugin that could change its pricing or discontinue without warning.
For Horwich businesses that need their site to rank, load quickly on mobile, and remain stable over time — custom development is the right foundation. It costs no more than a well-specced page builder build and outperforms it in every measurable way.
Clean, fast WordPress sites with prominent click-to-call, service area maps, before/after galleries, and testimonial systems. Built to rank for Horwich service searches and convert mobile visitors into phone calls.
Multi-page WordPress sites for accountants, solicitors, mortgage brokers, and consultants in Horwich. Credibility-first design with clear service pages, team profiles, and structured data that Google trusts.
Restaurant menus, online ordering integrations, event calendars, WooCommerce stores, and booking systems for Horwich hospitality and retail businesses. Custom-built around your specific workflow.
A web designer focuses on the visual layout and user experience. A WordPress developer builds the underlying functionality — custom themes, plugins, integrations, and bespoke features. At Mako Digital we do both: design and development handled by the same team, which means fewer handoff problems, faster builds, and better results.
No. Every WordPress site we build uses a custom theme coded from scratch in PHP. Page builders add significant code bloat, slow sites down, and create dependency on third-party plugins that can break on updates. Custom code is cleaner, faster, more SEO-friendly, and fully under your control.
Yes. If you already have a WordPress site and need additional functionality — a booking system, a member area, a custom form, an API integration — we can assess the existing build and add what you need without necessarily rebuilding from scratch.
Simple sites start from £149.99. Custom functionality — WooCommerce, booking systems, member portals — is priced on scope after a detailed brief. All prices are fixed before work begins. We do not give estimates that grow.
We host most of our client sites on Hostinger — fast, reliable, UK-accessible hosting at sensible prices. We are happy to manage hosting for you or deploy to your own hosting environment if you prefer.
