Bespoke Sites
A custom genealogy website, built for you.
AncestorPress builds bespoke WordPress websites for family historians, professional genealogists, and family history organisations. From a personal family archive to a full society website with records, memberships, and events.
Who We Build For
Genealogy websites for every need.
We have been building genealogy and family history websites since 2006. Every project is different, but most fall into one of three categories.
For Family Historians
Your Personal Family Archive
You want to share your family history research online - not just on a commercial platform you don't control, but on your own WordPress site that belongs to you.
For Professional Genealogists
Your Practice Website
You need a professional website that markets your research services, allows clients to commission work, and provides a portal for sharing results and research in progress.
For Societies & Organisations
Your Society or Group Website
Your family history society, one-name study group, or genealogical organisation needs a full-featured website - records, memberships, events, newsletters, and more.
How We Work
A clear brief, a fixed price, no surprises.
Every project starts with a conversation. We want to understand what you need, what you already have, and what success looks like for you. From that we write a clear scope of works and agree a price before any development begins.
We have been building WordPress websites since 2006 and genealogy sites specifically since 2009. We understand the data structures, the terminology, and the particular needs of family history projects in a way that a general web developer usually doesn't.

Our Process
Discovery call
Tell us about your project. We discuss your needs, your existing data, your timeline and your budget.
Scope of works
We write a clear brief covering exactly what we will build, what is excluded, and what we need from you.
Fixed price quote
You receive a price before any work starts. No hourly rates, no hidden extras.
Build and review
We build in stages with regular reviews. You see the work in progress before it goes live.
Handover and training
We hand over a live site with documentation and a training session so you can manage it yourself.
Ongoing support
Optional maintenance, hosting, and support packages available after launch.

Vital Records & BMD Databases
Many family history societies hold unique transcribed records - graves, census data, BMDs. We can build searchable online databases for your data and integrate with OurRoots where appropriate.
Ongoing Training, Support & Maintenance
Running a website is not always straightforward. We offer ongoing maintenance packages, security updates, content assistance, and training for committee members who manage the site.
Note on prices: All prices are indicative and will be confirmed once we have agreed a scope of works. Prices exclude domain registration, hosting, and third-party software licences. USD and EUR invoicing available on request.
