FNO Services Europe
Remote WordPress Developer for UK Businesses
Direct WordPress development support for UK businesses
If you are searching for a WordPress developer in the UK, you may not need to employ a full-time developer or commit to a large digital agency.
FNO Services Europe provides remote WordPress development and technical support to businesses throughout the UK. We are based in Portugal and work directly with UK companies that need an experienced developer for website fixes, customisation, WooCommerce, hosting, migrations and integrations.
You communicate directly with the person examining the website and completing the technical work. This makes it easier to explain problems, review priorities and maintain continuity across future tasks.
When should you hire a WordPress developer?
A WordPress developer is useful when the work goes beyond routine content editing or installing a standard plugin.
You may need development support when:
- A website displays errors or stops functioning correctly
- A theme or plugin update causes compatibility problems
- Existing functionality needs to be changed or extended
- A WooCommerce checkout, payment or order process fails
- A website needs to connect to an API or external platform
- The site must be moved to different hosting
- PHP, database or server changes affect the website
- The original developer or agency is no longer available
- Several unresolved technical tasks have accumulated
- You need ongoing access to a developer without hiring an employee

WordPress support for websites built by another developer
We can work on WordPress websites originally created by another freelancer, agency or internal team.
Before making significant changes, we normally review:
- WordPress administrator access
- Hosting and server access
- The active theme and child theme
- Installed plugins and licences
- Custom code and manual modifications
- PHP and database versions
- Backups and recovery options
- Scheduled tasks and external integrations
- Known errors or unfinished work
This review helps us distinguish an isolated task from a wider problem involving the hosting environment, codebase or account ownership.
If access or ownership is uncertain, begin with our Website Takeover Check.
WordPress and WooCommerce developer support
WooCommerce websites require both WordPress knowledge and an understanding of ecommerce processes. A technical change can affect payments, orders, stock, customer accounts, email and connected systems.
WooCommerce development support can include:
- Investigating checkout failures
- Correcting payment gateway problems
- Customising product and order behaviour
- Maintaining webhook and callback processing
- Supporting subscription or membership extensions
- Improving product imports and feeds
- Connecting marketplaces and fulfilment systems
- Reviewing slow queries and scheduled actions
For recurring store care, see our WooCommerce maintenance service.
Custom WordPress integrations
A WordPress website may need to exchange information with services outside WordPress. This can include customer records, products, orders, payments, bookings or reports.
We can help evaluate and implement connections involving:
- CRM systems
- Payment providers
- Accounting platforms
- Email marketing services
- Supplier product feeds
- Marketplaces
- Booking and reservation systems
- Shipping and fulfilment providers
- Custom PHP applications
Availability depends on the external platform providing a suitable API, feed or supported integration method.
See our dedicated API integration services for larger integration projects.

- Need occasional or ongoing WordPress help
- Prefer clear GBP pricing
- Want support coordinated across UK and European working hours

WordPress developer or maintenance plan?
WordPress development support
Suitable for fixes, custom functionality, integrations, migrations, theme changes and code-level troubleshooting.
WordPress maintenance plan
Suitable for recurring updates, backups, checks, small fixes and having an established technical contact.
Many clients use both. A development task may solve an immediate problem, while a maintenance plan provides continuing support after the work is complete.
See our broader website support services and maintenance packages.
