Wordpress: Development & Hosting

Wordpress support - WP Courseware, WoocommerceMore than 40% of all websites are built using Wordpress. The platform is free, enables clients to edit their own websites relatively easily (without coding) and it offers a huge range of functional 'plug-ins' that make new features easy to install in an extremely cost effective way.

At Firetop we specialise in responsive Wordpress websites and plug-ins that support B2B & STM publishers, recruitment and job boards, training courses (on and offline), 'drag and drop' email newsletters, e-commerce, subscriptions and events. Specific plug-ins that we can provide support on include WP Courseware, WP Job Manager, Woocommerce, Business Directory and Mailpoet.

Firetop has several dedicated Linux servers and a full back-up system allowing us to host Wordpress websites and other PHP platforms for our clients. We also host & support installations of the Revive Ad Server (formerly Open X) so that publishing clients can sell banner advertising on their websites.


Digital Marketing: Search, Email, Retargeting

Google Adwords management, SEO AuditsDesigning and building a user optimised website is only half the challenge, a website needs visitors and those visitors need to be relevant if they are to convert to customers. We offer the following digital marketing support services:

  • Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Audits & In-House Training.
  • Google Adwords Campaign Audits, Management & In-House Training.
  • ReTargeting Campaigns (Banners that track visitors across the Internet).
  • Email Marketing Campaigns & In-House Training.
  • Twitter Audits and Advertising Campaigns.


Digital Strategy: Analytics, RFP and Interview Support

In addition to the day to day digital activities of web development and marketing, our Director Matt is often engaged by clients to audit their entire digital strategy. Typically this involves a lot of web analytics & heatmap reporting as well as meetings with client management and their support teams to discuss operational processes and customer needs. Sometimes it also means assisting with tendering on large digital projects and even digital candidate interviewing where relevant Q&A expertise is lacking.
