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?

  • 5 5

    We commissioned Jem to create a new school website. We wanted a website which was well ordered, accessible with a simple design and, most importantly, easy to update by various, non technical members of staff.

    Jem provided us with really useful design ideas which helped us give her an idea of what we wanted. Jem very quickly produced a new website, which looks very impressive. Jem then provided an excellent training session which enabled us to add our own pages and menus. Throughout the whole process Jem has been quick in answering our many questions and her suggestions have always been very helpful.

    We have found Jem to be extremely professional, helpful and supportive and we would thoroughly recommend Jem to any school looking for a new website.

    When I needed a new website, that’s where Jem came in and did a great job:

    – Quickly understood what I do for a living, where a website fits in my marketing and what kind of website would work for me (and what wouldn’t)
    – Built a website that does exactly what I need
    – Jumped in immediately when a hacker tried to do their worst
    – Taught this trembling technophobe to embrace WordPress when it all changed

    Jem is knowledgeable, positive, patient and a joy to work with. Highly recommended

    Magiboards has been working with Jem for 9 years. She single handedly developed and continues to maintain the Magiboards’ website. Our brief to Jem was to design something which we can easily update ourselves. This has worked very well, leaving our budget to be spent on continually adding new areas to the website.

    An excellent web programmer, Jem understands what we are trying to achieve and always delivers. I would highly recommend Jem to any company wishing to use her services.

    Jem developed our new website on time and to budget. She worked through the detail excellently and we got a superb end product that was optimised for web and mobile. We were highly impressed by her approach and knowledge. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to embark on such a project.

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.
