Bespoke design, built in WordPress. Every page is designed around your real content and goals, then built so your team can keep it fresh without calling a developer.
We work in the platforms you already use.

Sounds familiar?
- Your website looks like everyone else’s in your sector.
- The design was lovely, but the finished site isn’t.
- Your team is afraid to edit pages in case they break something.
- Visitors arrive but don’t know what to do next.
- A competitor’s site makes yours look dated.
- A template was fine at the start and now holds you back.
If two or more ring true, it’s worth a call.
What we do.
Easy to edit, hard to break.
Your team works with the content. The layout stays as designed.
Built from blocks
Every section is a block your team can edit, move or duplicate.
Safe by design
Type, spacing and colour are fixed in the theme, so edits can’t break the design.
Training included
We walk your team through the editor and leave a short guide.
How it works.
Discover
We learn about your buyers, your competitors and what the site has to do.
Design
You review designs for the key pages and refine them with us.
Build
We build the approved designs in WordPress, on a private staging site.
Launch
We test, launch and train your team to edit the site with confidence.
Design that doesn’t get found doesn’t earn its keep.
A good-looking site still has to be found. We build search into the structure from the start, then help the site rank through SEO and AI visibility.
What clients say.
“StreamAlive has seen a real improvement in visibility across both Google and AI search since working with Riverforge. They’re like an extension of our team and really got to know our business. We didn’t have huge budgets like other tech companies but they worked within that constraint to bring in quality traffic, with #1 Google results and AI tools recommending us over our competitors - visitors arriving through ChatGPT and Gemini convert at around 20%. For us, the value has been in turning visibility into actual product signups.”
“You came in, quickly understood the problem, cut through the noise and focused on the things that would make the biggest difference. The results speak for themselves, but what I’ve really valued is how clearly he explains what needs doing and why.”
How it’s priced.
Websites are a fixed price from a written specification, set after a short call. What affects the price:
- How many pages and templates the site needs
- How much custom design, photography and motion it involves
- Features such as booking, a shop or a members area
- Whether we write the copy or work from yours

Why WordPress?
It’s flexible, widely supported and yours to own. Your team can edit it, and any good developer can work on it later.
Do you use templates?
No. Each design starts from your content and your brand.
Will we be able to edit the site ourselves?
Yes. We build with Gutenberg blocks and train your team before handover.
How is this different from your website design service?
It’s the same team and the same process. This page is for organisations that have already chosen WordPress. Our website design page also covers choosing the right platform.
How long does it take?
Most projects take 5 to 16 weeks, depending on the size of the site and how quickly feedback comes back.
Do you write the content and supply photography?
We can write the copy and brief photographers, or work with what you have. We agree this in the specification.
