Tickdoc · Accounting practice, Eastleigh, Hampshire
We replaced Tickdoc's old WordPress site with a fast, hand-built one where every figure is checked against GOV.UK. Its director, Sibo Armstrong, then reviewed every article and page herself, and ten of the twelve articles came back with corrections. It went live in October 2026, scores 100 in all four PageSpeed categories on mobile, and she has since given us five stars on Google.

“Really impressed with Press Forge. Their website alone shows how professional and clean their work is. You can tell they've got loads of experience and actually understand what businesses need, not just how to make something look nice.”
“I approached Mark at 365i to ask him to migrate my website to their server since my website was very slow on my existing server. Not only did he carry out the migration within 24 hours but he actually completely redesigned my website free-of-charge to a standard that I was blown away by.”
“He understood our vision for the Grange Transport website and brought it to life beautifully. His attention to detail, creativity, and responsiveness throughout the entire process was outstanding.”
Every project is led by Mark McNeece, founder of Press Forge and 365i.

Expert advice on WordPress design, development, security, and performance from our team of UK-based specialists.
Ask an AI to email you a PDF and it either says it can't, or it starts typing the file out as base64 and runs out of reply. That is not the model being bad at files. MCP tool arguments are JSON, and JSON has no file type, so every server hits the same wall separately. Here is the gap in the spec, what base64 really costs (including the figure we published wrong for a month), and the four routes we built instead.
An ability can pass every test, satisfy its JSON Schema and have a hardened permission_callback, and still be a bad ability, because the model will not pick it, picks it for the wrong job, or calls it four hundred times in a row. We ship a commercial MCP server with 32 mail tools and up to 21 calendar tools on live customer mailboxes. Here are the nine design rules that surface bought us, each translated into runnable wp_register_ability() code.
Yesterday we put a 23-page site live for a Lincolnshire chauffeur firm trading since 2006: a split-flap departures board, nine individually written town pages, mobile PageSpeed 99 with every Core Web Vital green, and AI Discovery Files from day one. Here is the full anatomy of a 2026 local business website, every figure real and dated, and why we banked 99 rather than chase a vanity 100.

A professionally designed WordPress website typically costs between £1,500 and £10,000+ depending on complexity. A brochure site for a small business starts from around £1,500, while an e-commerce store or custom web application can range from £3,000 to £15,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotes based on your specific requirements. No hidden fees or surprises.
Most WordPress websites take between 4 and 8 weeks from initial brief to launch. A straightforward brochure site might be ready in 3-4 weeks, while a complex WooCommerce store or custom-built solution could take 8-12 weeks. Timelines depend on scope, content readiness, and feedback turnaround. We agree a clear schedule before starting.
Absolutely. WordPress is designed to be user-friendly, and we build every site with easy content management in mind. We provide training on how to update pages, add blog posts, and manage basic settings. For anything more complex. Design changes, new features, or technical updates. Our support team is always here to help.
Our maintenance plans include core, plugin, and theme updates, security monitoring, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and monthly Website Care Reports. Plans start at £30/month (Essential), with Premium at £69/month and Business at £149/month adding more included edit time, priority support, and faster response times. Plans are exclusively for sites hosted with our sister company 365i, and free migration is included when you sign up.
Yes, WooCommerce is one of our core specialities. We build custom online stores with secure payment processing, product catalogue management, shipping integrations, and everything you need to sell online. Whether you're launching a new store or upgrading an existing one, we handle the full build from design through to launch and ongoing support.
If your site is already WordPress, yes: we move it from any host with zero downtime, preserving content, SEO rankings, and URLs through proper 301 redirects and metadata transfer. If your site is on another platform (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or static HTML), it can't be migrated as-is; we rebuild it in WordPress instead, bringing your content across and mapping every old URL with a 301 so your rankings carry over.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites worldwide, including major enterprises. It's inherently secure when properly configured and maintained. We implement security hardening measures including firewalls, malware scanning, two-factor authentication, and regular updates. Combined with our monitoring, your WordPress site will be well-protected against threats.
Every website we build comes with 30 days of complimentary post-launch support covering bug fixes and minor adjustments. Beyond that, our maintenance plans provide ongoing technical support, security monitoring, and regular updates. Many of our clients have been with us for years. We're a long-term partner, not a one-off supplier.
