Off-the-shelf themes look like off-the-shelf themes. We build custom WordPress sites from scratch - clean code, fast load times, and an admin panel your team will actually use. No page builders, no plugin bloat, no surprises six months after launch.
what you get.
custom theme, zero bloat
No Divi, no Elementor, no 40-plugin stack. A hand-coded theme built for your exact requirements runs 3 to 5x faster than a page-builder site and is trivial to maintain.
core web vitals green
Page Speed above 90, LCP under 2.5s, images in WebP, server-side caching. We test on real devices before launch, not just in Lighthouse emulation.
security hardened
Hardened login, two-factor auth, daily off-site backup, and plugin update monitoring. WordPress powers 43% of the web and attracts automated attacks - we close the standard entry points.
editor you can use
Carbon Fields and Gutenberg blocks configured for your content structure. Edit text, images, prices, and team members without touching code or calling us.
five steps from brief to launch.
discovery
We map your pages, goals, and audience in a structured brief. You get a written scope document before any design or code starts - no vague 'we'll figure it out' agreements.
wireframe & design
Low-fidelity wireframes first, then visual design on top. You see every key page before a line of code is written. Two design revision rounds included in the base fee.
development
Custom WordPress theme, Carbon Fields for content management, and any integrations you need - CRM, booking system, payment gateway. We build to a spec, not to a guess.
testing
Cross-browser, cross-device, Lighthouse audit, form submission test, and 3G load test. We find the bugs before your clients do.
launch & handover
Deploy to your server, domain switch, admin training, and written documentation. 30 days of post-launch support included - we stay until everything is stable.
the questions you actually have.
Why WordPress and not Webflow, Wix, or a custom framework?
WordPress gives you ownership. Your content, your code, your server, your choice. Webflow and Wix lock you into their platform - if they change pricing or shut down, you start over.
A custom framework makes sense for web applications. For a marketing site or service business, WordPress with a custom theme is the best balance of flexibility, speed, and long-term maintainability.
How long does a WordPress project take?
A standard 5 to 7 page site runs 4 to 6 weeks from signed contract to launch. Larger projects with e-commerce, multilingual, or custom integrations run 8 to 12 weeks.
Timeline depends equally on us and on how fast you deliver feedback and content. We hold our deadlines and ask the same in return.
Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?
No. Page builders add thousands of lines of unused CSS and JavaScript to every page load. They make sites slower, harder to maintain, and create security vulnerabilities through their plugin dependencies.
We write clean, hand-coded themes. The result is a faster, more secure site with an editor that does what you need - not a general-purpose tool you have to fight.
Can I edit the site myself after launch?
Yes - that is one of the main reasons we build in WordPress. We configure the admin panel to show only what's relevant to your site. You can change text, images, prices, team members, and blog posts without touching code.
You get a 60-minute live walkthrough after launch and a short video guide for the most common tasks.
Do you handle hosting and domain?
We can, or we deploy to your existing hosting. We recommend managed WordPress hosting (Kinsta, WPX, or similar) for serious business sites - better uptime, faster TTFB, and daily backups included.
Domain and SSL are always registered in your name, never ours. You own everything after day one.
What is included in post-launch support?
30 days of post-launch support is included in every project. That covers bug fixes, content corrections, and minor adjustments at no extra charge.
Beyond 30 days, we offer monthly maintenance packages: plugin updates, security monitoring, daily backup verification, and a fixed number of content change hours each month.
