Custom WordPress website design and development.
WordPress powers more small business websites than any other platform, but most of those websites use an off-the-shelf theme with a logo dropped in. We build custom WordPress websites, hand-coded around your business — so you get WordPress's easy editing without the generic-template look or the extra plugins that usually come with it.
Custom WordPress design, not a theme swap
Most "custom WordPress" quotes are actually a page-builder theme with your colors and logo applied. We design every page from a blank canvas and hand-code the WordPress theme to match — so your site doesn't share a template with a thousand other small businesses, and doesn't inherit a theme's bloat, bugs, or design constraints.
Built for the person who has to update it
A website only stays current if someone on your team can actually edit it. We structure every WordPress build around the block editor (or a lightweight custom admin panel) so your team can update copy, swap images, and add pages without calling a developer for routine changes — while more structural changes still come to us.
Performance and security, not just plugins
A WordPress site loaded with fifteen plugins is a WordPress site that's slow and one abandoned plugin away from a security problem. We build lean — custom code where a plugin would normally go — so pages load fast and there's less surface area to patch when a plugin developer stops maintaining their work.
Migrating from Wix, Squarespace, or an old WordPress theme
Most WordPress projects aren't greenfield — they're a business moving off a page builder or a WordPress theme that's aged badly. We handle the migration so existing content, URLs, and SEO equity carry over instead of resetting to zero on a new domain structure.
WooCommerce-ready from day one
If ecommerce is even a possibility down the line, we architect the WordPress build so adding WooCommerce later is a configuration step, not a rebuild — a detail that's easy to overlook when a site starts as content-only and expensive to fix after the fact.
What people ask about wordpress websites.
Is a custom WordPress website more expensive than a template?
It costs more upfront than a $50 theme, but less than most businesses expect — because we're not billing for a page builder's learning curve or working around a template's limitations. Most WordPress projects fall within the same range as our other website design engagements; the first conversation always includes a real number.
Can I edit the WordPress site myself after launch?
Yes — every WordPress build we deliver is structured around WordPress's own block editor or a simplified custom admin, specifically so your team can handle day-to-day content updates without needing a developer.
Do you migrate an existing WordPress site or rebuild from scratch?
Both, depending on what's underneath. If the content and structure are sound but the design and code aren't, we often rebuild the theme while preserving your content and SEO equity. If the site has deeper structural problems, a full rebuild is usually faster and cheaper long-term than patching around them.
How many plugins will my WordPress site need?
As few as possible. We hand-code functionality that's commonly handled by plugins (forms, basic SEO fields, image optimization) directly into the theme, and only bring in a plugin for genuinely complex functionality that isn't worth rebuilding from scratch — which keeps the site faster and reduces long-term maintenance risk.
