WordPress websites with stunning visuals, built for performance, simplicity, and scalability.

Flexible and lightweight websites

Our WordPress websites are built to be both flexible and lightweight, with a custom backend tailored for non-technical users. All content can be managed through intuitively laid-out ACF custom fields.

Using re-usable components

We break down designs into reusable content modules and integrate them with ACF. Each module is configurable and can be reused across your site when you create new pages and content.

No DIY page builders

We avoid using DIY page builders like Divi and Elementor as they add unnecessary bloat, slow down your site, and make future updates harder. Instead, we deliver lightweight, hand-coded solutions using ACF and CPT for better performance and scalability.

A plugin-less approach

While WordPress offers a wide range of plugins, relying on too many can cause security risks and compatibility issues. That’s why we keep plugin use to a minimum—usually just 3-5 for a standard build—ensuring a secure and lightweight website.

Custom post-types and taxonomies

We organise content based on what makes the most sense for your site. Whether it’s a page, custom post, or taxonomy, we structure your content so it’s logical and easy to manage.

Built for content management without needing a developer

We understand the importance of your Ops team being able to update content and create pages without needing a developer. That’s why the backend we built is made super intuitive, making it easy to manage content, images, and key site elements like logos and footer text whenever needed.

eCommerce (WooCommerce) Expertise

Whether you’re looking for a straightforward WooCommerce store or a more advanced setup with custom filters, product bundles, memberships, or subscriptions, we’ve got you covered. We specialise in building fully functional WooCommerce themes and take care of styling all essential store pages—including cart, checkout, account pages, order confirmation, and email notifications—even if detailed designs aren’t provided. This ensures your store looks cohesive and provides a seamless shopping experience.

ACF done right

At MockupToCode, we harness the power of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to develop robust and user-friendly builders. Our approach centress on organising custom fields in a structured and intuitive way. Below, we outline some of the key techniques and best practices we implement when working with ACF.

Preview images and instructions

We frequently add a preview image of the front-end block within the ACF instructions, giving a visual representation of how the block appears on the frontend. Moreover, we provide concise, necessary text instructions for blocks where explanation is required, ensuring they are informative without being overly detailed.

Using appropriate field types

We’re careful in using appropriate field types to match the design and content needs precisely. For example, we use repeater fields for repeating content within blocks, and choose suitable WYSIWYG, single line, and multi-line fields to closely resemble the designed text content. Additionally, we use flexible content fields to facilitate the creation of highly customisable and reusable layouts that adhere to your design specifications.

Every little detail counts

Semantic HTML

We focus on creating high quality semantic HTML content,and always using correct tags to best present the content. For example:

• <h1> – <h6> for heading levels
• <ul> and <ol> for lists
• <blockquote> and <cite> for testimonials and citations
• <figure> and <figcaption> for figures and image captions
• and much more

Built with Accessibility in mind

We craft frontend code with ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA standards in mind, encompassing features like keyboard focuses, aria-labelling, and alt text. Additionally, our team possesses the expertise to achieve full ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA compliance, ensuring the highest level of accessibility.

Optimal image compression

The size and compression of imagery plays a big part in the loading speed of your website. We uses lossless compression tools like TinyPNG to efficiently reduce the size of the images, ensuring they retain their quality while contributing to faster page load times.

Smart and intelligent layouts

We use grid systems and flexbox layouts to build layouts with flexibility in mind. This ensures that the layout maintains its integrity and appearance, even when columns or content are added or removed.

Modular WordPress theme structure

Modular theme structure

All page builder modules are broken down and organised for easy maintenance. We also separate various utility functions and include a readme.md file upon delivery to document the build architecture, with the aim of ensuring that the theme not only looks and functions exceptionally but is also as maintainable as possible.
