Question 1

Custom WordPress Theme Development

Accepted Answer

Yes. Custom themes are built from scratch or from a minimal starter, depending on the project requirements. Off-the-shelf themes are not used for new builds.

Question 2

WooCommerce Development and Setup

Accepted Answer

Yes. WooCommerce setup, customisation and extension development are all available depending on the scope of your project.

Question 3

Taking Over an Existing WordPress Site

Accepted Answer

Yes. An initial audit of the existing site is carried out to assess code quality, plugin stack and technical configuration before any work begins.

Question 4

What is the difference between WordPress development and WordPress maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Development covers building or significantly changing a website. Maintenance covers ongoing management after the site is live.

Question 5

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

For most Telford businesses, meaningful local search improvements start appearing within 2 to 4 months of consistent work. Some sectors are more competitive than others locally: trades and professional services both have active competition. GBP and map visibility often improves faster than organic rankings, particularly for less contested terms. The work compounds over time: a site that has been properly optimised and maintained for 12 months will significantly outperform one that received a single round of work and was then left.

Question 6

Do I need a new website to improve my SEO?

Accepted Answer

Not always. If your existing site is fundamentally sound, loads quickly and gives you proper control over the technical elements, it can often be optimised without rebuilding. If it is slow, built on a restrictive platform or has architectural issues that prevent effective SEO work, rebuilding is usually the more practical option. I'll assess your specific site and tell you which situation you're in before recommending anything.

Question 7

What is structured data and does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Structured data is code added to your website that explicitly tells search engines what type of business you are, where you are based, what your opening hours are and what services you offer. Rather than Google inferring this from your page content, you are providing it in a format it can read with certainty. For local Telford businesses, this contributes to how your business appears in local knowledge panels and map results. It is part of the technical setup I include on every project.

Question 8

How much does SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing local SEO for a Telford business typically starts from around £250 to £450 per month depending on scope and competition. That usually covers on-page optimisation, GBP management and citation building. A one-off technical audit and remediation is a different engagement and priced separately. I give a fixed cost and a clear description of the work before anything begins.

Question 9

Do you work with Telford businesses directly and in person?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I'm based in Telford and work with local businesses both remotely and in person where that's useful. You deal with me throughout: no account managers, no handovers, no one who needs briefing because they were not part of the original conversation. I'm responsible for the work from start to finish.

Question 10

Do you work with businesses in Telford?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Daylan Design works with businesses across Telford and the wider UK. Most projects run entirely remotely with no impact on quality or communication.
