If you want to add pages, posts, and sections yourself after launch, WordPress with Divi is the platform built for it. We design the site from scratch around your business, build it on a custom Divi child theme of its own, and hand it over with the familiar WordPress admin ready for you to run. We're a small studio in north Norfolk, a short drive from Norwich, designing WordPress sites for businesses there and across the UK. Starting prices for all three approaches sit side by side on the web design page.
WHAT WE MEAN BY IT
WordPress web design at BrainWeb means a design made from scratch for your business, then built for WordPress with Divi so you can edit and extend it yourself. Divi is the editor you'll use day to day; it is never the source of the design.
WHO IT'S FOR
This is the design approach to choose when:
It's probably not the right fit when:
The initial conversation settles it either way, and if WordPress isn't the right platform for the job we'll name the one that is.
HOW WE WORK
A few things that shape every WordPress design project at BrainWeb.
The child theme is built for your design alone, so no other site runs the same look and the design survives Divi updates cleanly.
The design is structured so you can add pages, sections, and posts over time without breaking it: editable areas behave predictably, typography stays consistent, and new sections drop in cleanly.
Typography doing the visual work, restrained colour, real photography. The full set is on the bespoke web design page; being a WordPress site changes none of it.
Contrast, focus states, type sizes, and reading order are decided at design, including the parts of Divi that need careful configuration to stay accessible. WCAG 2.1 AA basics are the default.
Before handover we walk you through the WordPress admin and Divi, cover the parts you'll use weekly, and leave notes for the parts you'll use twice a year.
PROJECT SHAPES
The design approach is the same; the scope and complexity of the build shifts depending on what you need the site to do.
A WordPress build with Divi, up to about twelve pages, with a blog. The typical content site for an SME: home, services, about, contact, the usual structure, plus a blog to publish from over time. Bespoke design, custom Divi child theme, ready to extend.
For larger or more structured projects: custom post types for events, properties, products, or team members; integrations with CRMs, booking systems, or accounting software; custom plugin work where the project needs it.
WooCommerce-based online shops. Bespoke design for the storefront, product pages, basket, and checkout. Stripe or PayPal integration, UK tax configuration, shipping setup, order email design, all part of the build.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything below is inside the fixed quote, whichever of the three shapes the project takes.
The build-phase details (custom plugins, integrations, e-commerce setup) are covered on the matching build pages.
RECENT WORK
A second website for a second business, launched off the back of Tank Clad's capability but sold under its own name, because the two serve different buyers.

“Ric was suggested to my by a complete stranger and I have been very pleased with his work. … I would certainly recommend Ric to anyone out there.”
A complete website for a Norfolk Broads education charity, built around several very different audiences so each one finds its own clear way in.
What we built
WordPress Web Design
We rebuilt our own site as a WordPress-to-Astro conversion, the same service we sell, built to the same standards we ship to clients, so the site is the proof rather than the claim.

WHAT IT COSTS
It depends on the shape: a standard site, a custom build with post types and integrations, or an e-commerce store each start at a different point, and the web design page puts the starting prices side by side. Whatever the shape, the quote is fixed in writing before work begins, paid 50% at design sign-off and 50% at launch, and the first year of managed WordPress hosting is part of the project.
THE HOSTING QUESTION
WordPress is the most popular publishing platform on the web, which also makes it the biggest target for automated attacks; a well-built site that's kept current stays safe, and one left to drift doesn't. That's why the first year of managed WordPress hosting is part of every new build, and why the hosting page explains exactly what looking after a site involves.
THE OTHER OPTIONS
All three are designed here; the difference is the platform underneath.
Design from a blank page rather than a Divi layout, for businesses that want a look nobody else has. Pairs naturally with custom development or modern JS framework builds.
The trade the other way: no plugins to keep updated and a much smaller attack surface, in exchange for editing in Payload rather than Divi.
If there’s nothing to edit week to week, one well-designed page costs less and launches in two to three weeks.
The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Tell us about your business and what you've got at the moment, and we'll come back with a view on what a WordPress project would involve and what it would cost.
