WordPress, Plugins & Custom Development Options
Good-looking is the starting point. Clever is where we come in.
Your website should make things happen. Help someone find the right product. Turn a complicated enquiry into a simple process. Give your team an easier way to manage content. Or bring that slightly ambitious idea you’ve been sitting on to life.
At Fort Hartley, we combine design and development to build websites with purpose and personality. From WordPress development and custom plugins to carefully considered HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP, we create the functionality your business needs, with an experience people enjoy using.
Built around the way your business works.
Every business has its own products, processes and peculiarities. Your website needs room for those details.
We help translate what you need into something practical: a searchable project portfolio, a product selector, a custom enquiry form, a client resource section or a content system your team can update confidently. We work through the user experience, the information behind it and the code that makes everything connect.

A website you can actually work with.
We build and customise WordPress websites with clear layouts, useful functionality and manageable content. That includes developing new websites, extending existing ones and working within builders such as Avada and Elementor. We consider the experience on both sides of the screen: the person visiting your website and the person responsible for keeping it updated.

Custom plugins allow us to build features around your requirements. Think interactive tools, tailored content displays, calculators, filters and functionality that supports how your business operates. Where it makes sense, we include settings so your team can change the content and appearance without editing the underlying code.
A little less admin.

Based on the inputs you choose.The right information, in the right places.
A project might need a location, gallery and list of services. An aircraft might need specifications, operating capabilities and supporting documents. Custom fields give that information a clear structure.
Using tools such as Advanced Custom Fields, we create organised editing interfaces and connect them to the website’s design. Your team fills in the relevant details, and the website displays them consistently across pages, listings and individual entries.

Brand & websiteThe details do a lot of the talking.
Typography, spacing, buttons, menus, hover effects and mobile layouts all influence how a website feels. We use CSS to bring those details together and create a consistent visual experience. From subtle glass effects to responsive layouts and carefully timed transitions, we give the interface the attention it deserves.
Make it feel like you.
A little detail.
A big difference.
Adjust the controls and watch the layout respond.
The code behind the good stuff.
HTML gives a page its structure. CSS shapes its appearance. JavaScript handles interactions in the browser. PHP supports the WordPress functionality behind the scenes.
We bring these together to create custom layouts, dynamic content and interactive features. The result might be immediately visible, like a product filter, or quietly useful, like automatically displaying related information across your website.

An interactive element can explain a service, demonstrate a product or make a complex choice easier to understand. It can also give people a reason to stop scrolling and explore.
We design and develop interactive website features with a clear purpose, then add the personality. Live previews, feature selectors, animated interfaces and useful little tools can turn something you would normally explain into something your audience can experience.
We start by understanding what the feature needs to achieve, who will use it and how your team will manage it. Then we work through the design and functionality, build it, and test the important interactions across desktop and mobile.
Along the way, we consider performance, compatibility and future changes. A useful website should give your business room to develop, with an editing experience that makes sense to the people maintaining it.
