WordPress Development

Whether you’re rebuilding an ageing public-facing site, consolidating multiple departmental microsites, or developing a custom digital service, our team brings deep WordPress expertise and a collaborative, sector-aware approach to every project.

Understanding WordPress Development in the Public Sector

The public sector faces unique digital demands: accessibility by default, multi-stakeholder input, content-heavy environments, and strict security and compliance obligations. WordPress — when developed properly — offers the flexibility, control, and cost-effectiveness needed to meet these demands at scale.

But not all WordPress builds are equal. At 6B, we treat WordPress as an enterprise-grade platform — one that, when extended thoughtfully, can power complex service delivery, integrate with critical systems, and support distributed editorial teams.

We build custom WordPress solutions that prioritise performance, usability, and future scalability. Every build is aligned to your organisational goals, your users’ needs, and the technical standards required in the public sector — including WCAG 2.2, GDPR, and relevant government digital service frameworks.

Our WordPress Development Approach

We begin by aligning your technical requirements, content needs, and organisational goals. Through discovery and collaboration, we define how WordPress should serve your users — and how it can be structured to support your internal teams.

Our development process is modular, scalable, and standards-driven. We create custom themes, reusable components, and intuitive block-based editing experiences that allow your teams to manage content with confidence — without breaking layouts or introducing inconsistencies.

We develop with accessibility, responsiveness, and performance baked in — from semantic HTML and ARIA roles to page speed optimisation and SEO readiness. Our developers follow coding best practices, version control workflows, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure stability, security, and maintainability over time.

For more advanced needs, we also integrate with third-party systems (e.g. CRMs, form platforms, APIs), implement multilingual functionality, and build secure, user-friendly portals for service users or internal teams.
