Your London Team is Stuck Waiting on WordPress. You Need a Jamstack Rebuild.

If you're a growth marketer watching competitors hit Core Web Vitals while your site crawls, you've found the agency that fixes it.

Sub-second load times with Astro, Next.js, and Nuxt. Headless CMS. Edge delivery. Built by UK developers who ship fast.

Jamstack Development

Jamstack is an architecture that pre-renders your site at build time and serves it from a global edge network, eliminating the server round-trips that make WordPress slow. Pages load from static assets cached close to each visitor rather than being assembled on demand by PHP and a database. The result is measurably faster load times, a smaller attack surface, and hosting costs that scale without surprise bills.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Your WordPress site fails Core Web Vitals on mobile and desktop, costing you paid search quality scores and organic ranking positions your competitors are quietly taking.
Risk: Google's page experience signals directly affect ad auction pricing and organic placement, so every week of poor LCP and CLS is compounding lost visibility and higher CPC spend.
Every content update requires a developer to babysit plugin conflicts, PHP version mismatches, or a staging environment that drifts from production within days.
Risk: Editor bottlenecks mean campaign landing pages miss launch windows and time-sensitive offers go live late, reducing conversion opportunity during your highest-traffic moments.
Your hosting bill spikes during traffic surges because your server-rendered stack cannot absorb sudden load without expensive vertical scaling or a CDN bolted on as an afterthought.
Risk: Unplanned infrastructure spend erodes campaign ROI and creates a situation where your site is most likely to go down exactly when it matters most to your business.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

UK GDPR by Default

We configure headless CMS deployments and third-party script loading to respect UK GDPR consent requirements from day one, keeping analytics and tag firing conditional on verified user consent rather than relying on retroactive cookie banners.

WCAG 2.2 AA Accessibility

Every component we build is tested against WCAG 2.2 AA criteria, including keyboard navigation, focus management, and colour contrast ratios, so your site meets the accessibility standard expected by UK public sector procurement and reduces legal exposure under the Equality Act.

SOC 2 Edge Hosting

We deploy exclusively to edge platforms that hold SOC 2 Type II certification, meaning your build artefacts and CMS API credentials sit within an audited security posture rather than a shared hosting environment with no formal controls.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Framework Selection and Architecture Scoping

We match your content model and rendering requirements to the right framework: Astro for content-heavy marketing sites where zero JavaScript is the target, Next.js for applications needing incremental static regeneration and API routes, and Nuxt for teams already invested in Vue. You get a written architecture decision record before a line of code is committed.

Headless CMS Migration and Configuration

We migrate existing WordPress content to a structured headless CMS such as Sanity, Contentful, or Storyblok, mapping your current post types and ACF fields to typed content schemas that editors can use without developer support for day-to-day updates.

Edge Deployment and CI/CD Pipeline

Every project ships with a production pipeline on Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages, including preview deployments on pull requests, automated Lighthouse runs as a build gate, and branch-based content environment separation so editors can preview changes before they reach your live URL.

Core Web Vitals Optimisation

We instrument LCP, CLS, and INP using field data from Chrome User Experience Report alongside lab testing in CI, then systematically eliminate render-blocking resources, oversized images, and layout shifts until your pages score green on real mobile hardware on UK mobile networks, not just a simulated desktop audit.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Discovery and Technical Audit

1 week

We run a full crawl of your existing site, review your analytics, and interview your content and development teams to document page templates, integration dependencies, redirect requirements, and the CMS workflows your editors actually rely on. You receive a gap analysis and a proposed Jamstack architecture before any contract is signed.

02

Design System and Component Build

2-3 weeks

We build a component library in Storybook against your brand guidelines, covering every template type identified in discovery. Each component is typed, documented, and tested in isolation so your team can extend the system after handoff without reverse-engineering undocumented markup.

03

CMS Migration and Integration

1-2 weeks

Content is migrated from WordPress or your existing platform into the agreed headless CMS using scripted import jobs that preserve publish dates, authorship metadata, and internal link structures. We connect third-party tools including form providers, analytics platforms, and e-commerce APIs via the appropriate build-time or edge function patterns.

04

Performance Validation and Launch

1 week

Before go-live we run a structured checklist covering Core Web Vitals on real devices, redirect mapping verification, structured data validation, accessibility audit, and a rollback plan. We handle DNS cutover during a low-traffic window and monitor field data for 72 hours post-launch before closing the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

A small Jamstack site starts around £5,000-£8,000. Mid-complexity business sites with headless CMS integration typically run £8,000-£25,000. E-commerce or multi-language builds range from £20,000-£50,000+. Every quote is fixed-fee in GBP. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
Astro's the right fit for content-heavy sites where minimal JavaScript matters -- blogs, marketing sites, documentation. Next.js makes more sense for full-stack applications that need authentication, dashboards, or complex data fetching. Nuxt is worth considering if your team already works in Vue. We recommend based on what your project actually needs, not whichever framework we feel like using that week.
A headless CMS stores and delivers content via API without dictating how it's displayed. Your content team edits in a familiar interface while developers build the frontend in whatever framework fits. It removes plugin vulnerabilities, enables multi-channel publishing, and means you can swap frontends entirely without touching your content.
Jamstack sites typically achieve Core Web Vitals scores two to five times better than WordPress. Pre-rendered pages served from a CDN load in under 100ms -- no database query, no PHP execution, no plugin overhead getting in the way. That translates directly into better SEO rankings and bounce rates dropping 20-30%.
Yes. Headless CMS platforms like Sanity and Payload offer visual editing interfaces, live preview, and scheduled publishing. Content editors can create pages, update copy, and manage media without going near the codebase. With Incremental Static Regeneration, changes show up on the live site within seconds of hitting publish.
We deploy to both. Vercel is our default for Next.js because of native optimisation and edge functions. Netlify works well for Astro and Nuxt builds -- atomic deploys and built-in form handling are solid. Both give you global CDN, preview deploys, and automatic HTTPS. If data residency is a requirement, self-hosted options are available.
