Peirene Press
WordPress and WooCommerce development
Peirene Press are an award-winning independent publisher of books from around the world, owned and managed by Stella Sabin and James Tookey.
The Brief
In 2022 Peirene launched under new management under a complete rebrand led by Glasgow-based art director Orlando Lloyd.
As part of the brand overhaul, the existing website design and WooCommerce integration needed redeveloping to bring it up to date, ensuring the ongoing stability and security for customers but without compromising the integrity of existing subscriptions or order data.


What We Did
Working closely with the client, the WordPress website was redeveloped to the exacting requirements of Orlando’s design. Ultimately Better, led by Jem Turner, created a bespoke WordPress theme prioritising accessibility, security and performance.
The site was integrated into the WordPress Gutenberg editor, allowing the client full control over their content and pages going forward, while still maintaining design standards to the brand guidelines.
The site makes use of some custom WooCommerce development as well as integration into the Glassboxx API to power e-book purchasing and downloads.
The Client Said…
Just wanted to say a Really Big Thank You for all your work [..] we really appreciate you guiding us into the port and getting the website looking and working great.
