Custom WordPress Development

Hand-written themes, plugins, and integrations — no page-builders, no template kits.

We build WordPress sites the way real software teams build software: version-controlled in GitHub, deployed through automated pipelines, monitored in production, and documented well enough that your team could pick up the codebase tomorrow.

No page-builders. No template kits. No “theme + 17 plugins” tax. Every line is hand-written or audited, and every dependency is justified.

Custom theme + ACF

Bespoke theme tuned to your brand and content model. ACF Pro fields wired through PHP for portability.
GitHub Actions CI/CD

Automated tests, staged deploys, one-click rollbacks. Every change traceable to a commit.
Server security hardening

TLS, firewalls, fail2ban, automated backups, audit-ready logs. WordPress core + plugin updates on a schedule.
Performance budgets

Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) measured in production with budgets enforced in CI.
Editor experience

Custom Gutenberg blocks where they make sense, ACF flexible content where they don't. Editors get a clean admin.
Translation-ready

Polylang or WPML integration. Multilingual menus, options, and dynamic content out of the box.

Discovery — week 1

60-minute call, written notes, one-page brief. We confirm scope, agree on success metrics, lock the timeline.
Engineering — weeks 2–5

Daily commits, staging URL from day one, weekly demos. You see progress while it is being made.
Ship — week 6

Deployed through automated pipelines with rollback ready. Performance budgets, monitoring, and analytics live before traffic hits.
Measure — week 7+

Weekly written report on what moved and what did not. We adjust based on real numbers, not opinions.

Can you migrate an existing site?

Yes. We do clean migrations from any WordPress install (or other CMS) — content, media, redirects, SEO. We profile the current site first, fix what is broken, and only then move it.
Do you handle hosting?

We can deploy to your existing host or set up a hardened Linux VPS for you. We do not run a managed hosting product.
How long does a typical project take?

Most engagements are 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope. We give a firm timeline at the end of the discovery call.
