// Build — WordPress
WordPress Development that earns editorial trust without sacrificing performance
Custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce builds, and headless WordPress implementations. We build WordPress properly — semantic code, minimal plugin footprint, hardened security, and Core Web Vitals from day one.
// Capabilities
What our WordPress practice covers
Custom Theme Development
Pixel-perfect WordPress themes built from design files — no page builders, no bloat. Clean semantic HTML, Gutenberg-compatible, and performance-tuned.
Plugin Architecture & Development
Custom plugins for unique business logic: booking systems, custom post types, member portals, integration hooks, and admin extensions.
Headless WordPress
WordPress as a content API with a decoupled Next.js or React frontend — editorial power without compromising performance or deployment flexibility.
WooCommerce Development
Custom WooCommerce builds and extensions: checkout flows, product types, payment gateways, subscriptions, and warehouse integrations.
CMS Migrations
Moving from Joomla, Drupal, Webflow, or custom CMS to WordPress — content migration, URL preservation, redirect maps, and SEO continuity.
Performance & Security Hardening
WordPress-specific hardening: caching layers, image optimisation, file permission review, plugin audit, WAF setup, and Core Web Vitals tuning.
// Technical depth
Why most WordPress sites underperform — and how we fix that
The most common failure mode in WordPress development is the page-builder-plus-forty-plugins approach. It produces sites that score 40–55 on Lighthouse, break on PHP or plugin updates, and require developer intervention for basic editorial changes.
Our approach uses native WordPress APIs, custom Gutenberg blocks with ACF, and a minimal, audited plugin set. Every plugin added to a project is evaluated for: update cadence, code quality, permission requirements, performance impact, and vendor lock-in risk.
// Our WordPress standards
- Custom Gutenberg blocks over page builders
- ACF or CPT for all structured content
- Object-cache / Redis for transient and query caching
- CDN + WebP image delivery by default
- WordPress Coding Standards via PHPCS in CI
- Least-privilege user roles and 2FA on admin
- Malware scan and CVE review at every plugin update
- Multisite support where editorial structure requires it
// FAQ
WordPress development questions
Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?+
We recommend against heavy page builders for client projects requiring long-term performance and maintainability. We use Gutenberg blocks with custom ACF fields or Full Site Editing for editorial flexibility, which keeps the codebase clean and avoids builder lock-in.
How do you handle WordPress performance?+
Our WordPress builds include server-side caching (Redis/object cache), image optimisation and WebP conversion, minimal plugin strategy, CDN integration, and Core Web Vitals review as standard. Heavy page builder markup is one of the most common WordPress performance problems we fix.
Can you build a WooCommerce store with custom checkout?+
Yes. We build WooCommerce stores with custom checkout flows, custom product types, subscription models, and payment gateway integrations. We also write custom plugins when WooCommerce's default behaviour does not match your operational workflow.
What does a WordPress security audit include?+
File permission review, plugin and theme CVE check, user role audit, login hardening (2FA, login attempt limits), SSL and header configuration, database prefix, wp-config hardening, and vulnerability scanning.
