Custom theme development
Themes built from the design rather than bought and fought — clean markup, no page-builder bloat, and an editing experience your content team can actually use.
Our services / WordPress Development
WordPress, treated as software
Most WordPress problems are the accumulated result of solving each new requirement by installing another plugin. Four years later the site carries fifty of them, loads in nine seconds, and nobody dares deactivate anything.
We approach WordPress the way we approach any codebase: audit it, understand the dependencies, and fix the cause rather than adding a layer on top.
The essentials
What we can build
Custom plugin development
Business logic written as a maintained plugin instead of pasted into functions.php or bought from a vendor who vanished in 2022.
Performance rescue
Query profiling, asset optimisation, caching strategy, image handling and plugin elimination. Substantial load-time improvements are common on neglected sites.
Security cleanup and hardening
Malware removal, compromised-account cleanup, file permission and update policy, and closing whatever route let the attacker in — which matters more than the cleanup itself.
Headless WordPress
WordPress kept as the editorial interface with a React or Next.js front end, where content teams want familiarity and the site needs application-grade performance.
Complex content architecture
Custom post types, taxonomies, relationships and structured fields designed properly, so the content model matches how the business actually thinks.
In practice
Where this makes a difference
The site takes nine seconds to load
Almost always a combination of unoptimised images, a page builder, plugin overload and an underpowered host. The audit identifies which is doing the most damage and what fixing each is worth.
You were hacked and cleaned it, and it came back
Cleanup without closing the entry point guarantees a repeat. We find the route in — usually an outdated plugin or a reused credential — before restoring anything.
A plugin you depend on was abandoned
An unmaintained plugin holding a critical function is a live risk. The fix is a custom replacement of only the functionality you use, which is usually far smaller than the plugin.
Editors cannot update the site without breaking it
If your content team is scared of the CMS, the build is wrong. Properly structured fields and blocks make the editing experience predictable again.
Your questions
Before we begin.
For content-driven sites with non-technical editors, frequently yes — it is mature, well supported and inexpensive to staff. For application-style products with complex permissions, it is usually the wrong tool, and we will say so.
That is most of this work. A rebuild is recommended only when the existing theme and plugin stack is genuinely beyond economic repair, and we will show you the comparison before you decide.
No. Everything happens on a staging copy, is verified there, and is deployed in a short planned window. Content and orders created during the work are accounted for in the cutover.
Yes — updates, backups, security monitoring, performance checks and a written summary each cycle. Details are on the maintenance and support page.
