How it works
From kick-off to launch in three to six weeks
Four clean steps. Honest timelines. Nothing handed off offshore, nothing built on auto-pilot.
Design and approval
Wireframes first, then a full visual mockup of every key page. You approve before we write a single line of code.
Build on staging
We build your site on a private staging URL. You get a dedicated review window to test, comment and request tweaks before launch.
Launch and look after it
Go-live day, then ongoing hosting, security, updates and content changes handled by our Bristol team for as long as you need us.
Real results
The maths behind a managed site
A typical UK agency build is £12k upfront plus another £4k a year on hosting, maintenance and security. Our Standard plan rolls all of that into £395 a month, no upfront fee.

A taste of what we build on WordPress
From simple landing pages to full e-commerce stores. If it runs on WordPress, we have probably built it.
Our toolkit
Built on the platform that powers 43% of the web
WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor, Yoast, Cloudflare, Google Analytics, PHP and MySQL. Battle-tested, well documented, easy to hand off.
No proprietary builders, no locked-in platforms. If you ever want to take your site elsewhere, every file is yours, fully exportable.
Why it makes sense
How Helmflux stacks
up against the rest
