Morris Communications

What Morris Communications does

Morris Communications is a bootstrapped, founder-owned WordPress web design agency founded in 2015 by Priscilla Morris and operated from Caerphilly, Wales. The firm designs, develops, and supports bespoke WordPress websites for charities, schools, education networks, and mission-driven organisations, primarily in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Its technical foundation is standard WordPress, augmented by third-party integrations including Stripe for payments, ActiveCampaign (via MailBlue) for email marketing, ClickUp for task management, SharePoint for file storage, and the Hotjar/Google Analytics analytics stack. The firm applies a proprietary 'PURPOSE method' framework that emphasises human-centred design and mobile-responsive builds, and differentiates with an environmental initiative (a tree planted for every website via 'Mini-Morris-Forest').
