Rigorous Digital

Your website is your business. We make sure it performs like one

Rigorous Digital is a WordPress agency for online retailers and membership organisations who depend on their site to operate and grow. We build, support and improve websites where underperformance isn't an option.

SEE WHAT WE DO
Rich & Caroline

We've been doing this for over 12 years. Here's what that
means for you

Most agencies treat your website as a project. We treat it as part of your commercial operation - because for the businesses we work with, that's exactly what it is.

We work with a small number of clients at a time, which means you get genuine attention, not a support ticket queue. We'll tell you what you actually need, not what generates the biggest invoice. And when something goes wrong - and sometimes things go wrong - we move quickly, because we understand what every hour of downtime costs you.

Why businesses who depend on their site
choose us

We started as a generalist WordPress agency. Over time, we kept finding ourselves doing our best work for the same kind of client: product businesses and membership organisations where the website isn't a brochure, it's the engine. So we leaned into it.

That means when you work with us, you're not getting a team that builds anything for anyone. You're getting people who understand e-commerce, who know what good WooCommerce architecture looks like, who have helped clients out of genuinely difficult situations and stuck around afterwards.

We hold our sites to a 90+ Google PageSpeed score. We build without the bloated plugins and off-the-shelf page builders that slow sites down and create security risks. And when we take on your support, we don't just wait for you to tell us something's broken - we're watching, diagnosing and flagging issues before they cost you.

If you've outgrown your current agency or freelancer, or you've been burned before, we're probably worth a conversation.
