1WL Agency is a Bedford based, WordPress focused team, working with companies across the UK.
We design and build WordPress websites; we host them, support and maintain them.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or already have a website, we make sure your WordPress site is secure, fast and properly maintained every month.
New builds, re-builds and ongoing WordPress support
Most clients come to us for one of two reasons.
Either they need a new WordPress site designed properly from the start, or they have an existing site that has grown messy over time and needs rebuilding or restoring.
In both cases our approach is the same.
We look at how the site fits within your business, design a clean structure, and move everything onto a managed WordPress stack where hosting, updates, security and performance are handled by one team.
From there we provide ongoing WordPress support every month – fixing issues, making content and layout changes, improving speed and working with you on things like WooCommerce, SEO and AI search.

How We Built a Scalable WordPress Platform for a National Childcare Provider
Grandir UK operate a growing network of nurseries across the country, supporting families through brands including Kiddi Caru and Dicky Birds. With multiple brands, hundreds of locations, and a wide range of users — from parents searching for nursery places to job seekers exploring early years careers — their digital platform needed to do considerably more than look the part.
We built them a bespoke WordPress platform with a postcode-based nursery finder, dedicated pages for each location, a full careers section, and a CMS structured for their team to manage independently. Every decision was made with local SEO and long-term scalability in mind.
The result is a site that has grown alongside the business — and continues to.
