WordPress Redesigns
Outdated design, clunky mobile experience, bloated plugins nobody’s audited in years? We’ll fix that for you!
As an engineering-led website redesign agency based in Leeds, Dev-WP transforms underperforming, legacy WordPress sites into fast, modern, and high-converting commercial assets. We don’t just apply a cosmetic facelift—we systematically resolve technical debt, re-architect sluggish codebases, and deliver custom, mobile-first experiences engineered to pass Google’s Core Web Vitals, protect your search visibility, and drive measurable revenue.
A slow, fragile website directly erodes customer trust and costs your business valuable leads. If your WordPress site feels slower than it should, harder to manage than it should, and isn’t converting the way it used to, you need far more than a superficial cosmetic refresh.
As a dedicated website redesign agency, we’ll give you a newly designed, high performing website that works for you. No shortcuts, no commercial theme dumped on top of your old problems – and no generic page builders that drag down your page speed. Just a rebuild grounded in data, focused on commercial conversion rates and search performance, and handled by people who actually care whether it works for you.

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
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
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
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.

Our Recent Creations
Each project reflects our data-driven, solution-focused approach, dedicated to doing things properly—whether through bespoke WordPress website design, tailored development, or ongoing support.
Your website, rebuilt the right way
Every redesign by Dev-WP runs on clean, efficient code — it's the DEV-WP way — paired with modern design practices, so what you get is a site that actually performs, not just one that looks good in a screenshot.
Unlike conventional creative agencies that prioritise visual styling at the expense of technical performance, our website redesign agency builds exclusively with lightweight, modular Gutenberg block architecture. By eliminating bloated third-party page builders like Elementor and Divi, we reduce DOM depth by up to 80%, strip out render-blocking JavaScript, resolve Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and deliver clean, lightweight markup that search engines can crawl, understand, and index with total efficiency.

How we redesign your WordPress website
Our website redesign services cover everything you need to create a high-impact website, including:
Discovery & audit
Before we touch a single page, we find out what's actually going on. We dig into your analytics, review how people are using your site right now, and execute deep architectural crawls using Screaming Frog. No assumptions, no guesswork — just a clear picture of what's working, what's costing you, and where the real opportunity sits. We benchmark your current keyword rankings, user journeys, backlink profiles, and Core Web Vitals to establish a data-led foundation for your redesign.
UX and UI
We wireframe before we design, and we design mobile-first — because that's how most of your visitors will actually find you. Every layout decision gets made with intent: where attention goes, how people move through a page, what's stopping them converting. We design user journeys that eliminate checkout and enquiry friction while ensuring all touch targets and contrast ratios meet strict WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines. You'll see interactive prototypes and mockups before anything gets built, so there are no surprises when the site goes live.
Theme & Builder Decision
We look at your content, your team's technical comfort, your budget, and your performance needs, then recommend the right stack. While other agencies rely on heavy, off-the-shelf page builders that slow your site down, our website redesign agency prioritises lean, bespoke Gutenberg block development. We engineer tailored design systems that guarantee sub-second page loads, long-term codebase stability, and complete visual freedom for your editors.
