Pioneers in WordPress & WooCommerce Development
LightSpeed Development Overview
We’re passionate about helping businesses make an impact online by putting control in the hands of our clients.
Founded in 2003 by Ashley Shaw, LightSpeed WordPress Development has progressed from a start as a WordPress website solutions company that catered to a spread of client requirements (with a focus on the tourism sector) on to becoming a leading WP specialist development company.
In 2020, the company now features valuable credentials gained via endorsements and associations with both the focal WordPress community and organisation. These have been earned over many years through engagement and participation in WordCamp and WP MeetUp conferences across the globe. At this time, the company now stands tall in its field as a result of the significant gains made since its founding, and is now a proud member of the elite few companies in the world that are both WooExperts and Mailchimp Experts.

With the help and service provided by LightSpeed, Jembi has achieved its’ intended objective of creating a new look and feel, and a more relevant and functional website, which forms a crucial part of the Jembi’s communication strategy.”
Roger Solomons – PM- Jembi Health Systems
“LightSpeed developers are knowledgeable and efficient, always going the extra mile to make sure they produce a final product that we were happy with. One thing I liked was their Great communication – prompt response to mails and swift action on requests. I found the experience prompt and professional. LightSpeed became part of our team during the development of this project and they accepted our outcomes and deadlines as their own. Great, knowledgeable and willing developers made for a productive partnership with them. I would absolutely recommend LightSpeed to people who need custom WordPress development services.”
