Ultimately Better Ltd

Bespoke WordPress theme development for Shropshire-based agency start-up

After nearly 10 years working as a freelancer and sole trader, I launched Ultimately Better Ltd in 2021 to better facilitate and serve my rapidly growing customer base without compromising on customer service and quality.

Ultimately Better is a remote-first digital WordPress micro-agency based predominantly in Shropshire, but with clients based worldwide. Using a team of vetted freelancers, we are able to offer a broader range of services and a faster turnaround time than as a single freelancer.

The Ultimately Better website is built ‘live’ with WordPress, utilising the latest block editor experience (codename Gutenberg) to give flexibility as the site grows. The site is designed to be fast with a performance optimised bespoke WordPress theme, and privacy friendly – no anti-privacy tracking cookies here!

Why hire Jem for your WordPress project?

    We needed a quick refresh of our website, which is heavily used by prospective and existing parents, staff and pupils. We needed to make sure that our site was flexible to appeal to all our end users and showcased our school. Working with Jem, I was able to quickly turn my thoughts into a brief, and then into a final product.

    Jem clearly knows what she is doing with WordPress, and her work showcases her considerable knowledge and no nonsense approach. I intend to use her again, when required, and would recommend her to others looking for a developer who knows WordPress inside out.

    After having numerous difficulties with another website designer, we asked Jem to provide some assistance. Jem managed to overhaul our website and provide a user friendly site that we are thrilled with. She is extremely thorough, and knowledgeable – which gives us confidence that we are getting the best care for our site. She has provided support throughout challenging times when we have needed information to be readily available for parents. All we can say is, we are more than happy, and fully recommend Jem. If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

    We needed to refresh our website and had lots of ideas; Jem was great as well as providing all of the technical expertise she was able to help us think through our design options and we now we have a great website that not only looks good but has additional features such as YouTube videos & training materials.

    I loved working through the process of developing my website. I concentrated on the words and imagery while Jem did her magic with the technology. I get so many compliments about our website and it’s definitely helped our business to grow quicker than we could have imagined. Being a lot of a technophobe, Jem’s calm assurance is always very much appreciated. I’d really recommend her.

Why I love working with WordPress

I've been using WordPress since the heady days of version 1.0 and developing WordPress websites commercially since version 1.5 (released in 2005!)

Open-source

Free software: now and forever. No crazy license fees or contract tie-ins. Pay only for your site development.

Massive user base

Over 75 million sites are powered by WordPress, with thousands of developers worldwide contributing to core development & free plugins.

Infinitely flexible

WordPress can be anything you want it to be: from a simple blog to a full e-Commerce platform utilising WooCommerce, and more.
