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 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.

    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

    Working with Jem has been nothing but a pleasure. From the get go she was friendly and understanding. She knew exactly what I wanted and already had a plan in place from the first phone call!

    She kept to the schedule she laid out and was very transparent the whole way through and I cannot recommend her enough. Even when problems arised (admittadly my own fault) she sorted them out without a fuss. She responded to every question I had in a professional and curteous manner.

    I will definitely be using her in the future for any WordPress work than I need.

    We wanted to update our old website, Jem came highly recommended and I can see why. She had lots of great ideas and design skills, nothing was too much trouble, with very prompt replies to our emails. The end result blew me away, and I would recommend her web design services to anyone. 100% total satisfaction.

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!)
