Built With The Best
Jonny and the team were fantastic in redeveloping our company's site. Communication was excellent and they were all helpful in ironing out any and all minor issues once the site was live. Would recommend.
From Cameron Low
5* service! I recently came to Dev-WP to design and develop our new YouthSCA website for our organisation. The team at Dev-WP are brilliant to say the least! Anything we needed in terms of site structure, content, features and usability were covered without question. When the website was handed over to us we were also given a full demo, explanation of each feature and how best to keep the site performing to its optimum. What I also really enjoyed about working with Dev-WP is that no question asked is considered a stupid one. They are always on hand to help and we're very pleased with the service we received overall. If you are looking for a reliable web developer that can do it all to a high level - look no further than Dev-WP
From Thomas William
The guys have been brilliant in migrating our website from our old platform EKM to Shopify, a move we were initially nervous about. But our new website design is not even comparable to our original (and very dated) site. Our customers are also really impressed with the functionality and the ease of the new website. We are now working on the SEO side of the business and have already seen some really positive results - hoping to see this continue.
From IMA Trading
Dev-WP recently helped the business I work for to develop a bespoke webpage to advertise training-related content and manage participant registrations. As our business hosts training for staff from different organisations and sectors across the UK, it was really important that the webpage was designed in the most user-friendly way possible to enable learners to understand the training requirements and easily book onto the sessions. Rob and his colleagues at Dev-WP were fantastic, building a webpage that offered all the functionalities we needed, as well as fitting in visually with the rest of our website. The team were on hand again when some changes needed to be made to the training dates and automated messages regarding remaining capacity on the courses. I will definitely be returning to Dev-WP for future webpage development work if and when we are able to expand our range of training offerings.
From Matthew Greenhill
The team at Dev-WP has helped us create 2 incredibly well put together, one-of-a-kind websites with all the bells and whistles! Even after the completion of the websites, they are always available to help with any questions/queries we may have! Really great team - highly recommend.

WordPress Done Properly
At Dev-WP, our Drupal to WordPress migration service is built on one simple principle: WordPress done properly. We strictly prohibit automated conversion plugins that corrupt database schemas, strip relational metadata, or link back to orphaned file paths. Instead, every migration is manually executed by senior developers in our Leeds office on an isolated Google Cloud staging environment. We cleanse years of legacy database bloat, engineer sub-second page performance, and implement strict redirect mapping to guarantee zero downtime and 100% digital asset ownership from day one.

WordPress To Drupal Migration Services
Migrating complex relational databases from Drupal’s entity framework into WordPress requires disciplined software engineering and meticulous technical SEO oversight. Our Drupal to WordPress migration service is divided into four dedicated, transparent phases:
Strategy creation
We begin with an exhaustive technical audit of your live Drupal setup using Screaming Frog and database profiling tools. Our developers catalogue every custom content type, node relationship, entity reference, user access level, and active taxonomy vocabulary. We benchmark your complete URL footprint, keyword rankings, and analytics profiles to establish a comprehensive migration roadmap, identifying technical risks before writing a single line of production code.
Read MoreExecution & Implementation
Operating within an isolated staging environment, our engineers extract your Drupal database and map legacy nodes, CCK fields, and revisions directly into streamlined WordPress Custom Post Types (CPTs) and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). We extract all assets from /sites/default/files/ directly into the native WordPress library, rewrite all internal link paths, and build clean, custom Gutenberg block templates that eliminate render-blocking script dependencies.
Read MoreTesting & Quality Assurance
Prior to live deployment, we execute rigorous multi-point quality assurance protocols. We run relational database integrity checks, test multi-step forms and transactional workflows, validate user authentication paths, and conduct cross-device responsiveness testing. Crucially, our technical SEO leads run an automated redirect audit to verify that 100% of your legacy Drupal path aliases resolve to exact WordPress destination URLs via server-level 301 redirects.
Read MoreOngoing Support
Following an off-peak DNS cutover, our Leeds team provides dedicated hypercare to monitor server resources, indexation velocity, and user journeys. We offer structured SLA maintenance agreements encompassing 24/7 uptime monitoring, core and plugin security hardening, automated off-site backups, and direct UK developer access to ensure your new WordPress ecosystem thrives over the long term.
