Custom WordPress development
A WordPress development company that writes code you can keep.
WordPress can run a five-page brochure site or a large publishing platform. The difference is the code underneath. Many sites slow down and break because every new feature was added with another plugin. Our custom WordPress development replaces that pile with code written for your site and your workflow.
As a WordPress development agency, we build custom themes from scratch, write plugins for features you cannot buy off the shelf, and connect WordPress to the tools your business already uses, such as your CRM, ERP, booking system or email platform. We also plan and build WordPress multisite networks and headless WordPress setups for teams that need them.
Every project lives in version control, runs through a staging site and ships with notes your next developer can follow. You own all of the code. If you mainly need a new look rather than new features, our WordPress website design page is the better starting point.
What we build
Custom WordPress development, from themes to integrations.
Most projects combine several of these. Your proposal spells out which ones apply and how each will be tested.
Custom plugin development
WordPress plugin development for features unique to your business, written to WordPress coding standards.
API and system integrations
Two-way connections between WordPress and your CRM, ERP, payment, booking or marketing tools.
Custom post types and fields
Structured content for listings, locations, team members, products or resources, so editors fill in fields, not layouts.
Multisite and enterprise WordPress
WordPress multisite development, user roles, approval workflows and single sign-on for larger organizations.
Headless WordPress
WordPress as the editor with a separate front end, when speed or app-like features call for it.
Migrations to WordPress
Wix to WordPress migration and moves from other CMS platforms, with content, URLs and redirects mapped.
Code audits and rescue work
A review of an existing build, a written list of problems by priority, and fixes for the ones that matter most.
Process
How our WordPress development process works
Development work is easier to trust when you can see it. You get a staging site, regular updates and a clear sign-off before each release.
- 1
Technical discovery
We review your current site, hosting, plugins and integrations, and write down exactly what the new build must do.
- 2
Architecture and estimate
We plan the theme, plugins, data structure and integrations, then send a fixed-price proposal with a timeline.
- 3
Build in sprints
We develop in small batches on a staging site, so you can test real features as they are finished.
- 4
Testing and review
We test across browsers and devices, check speed and security basics, and fix issues before launch.
- 5
Deployment and documentation
We deploy with a rollback plan, hand over the repository and write notes on how everything works.
Pricing
WordPress development pricing
Custom WordPress development is priced by scope: what needs to be built, how many systems it touches and how much testing it needs. These are the three common shapes of a project.

One custom plugin, integration or set of templates added to an existing WordPress site.

What is included in WordPress development services?
It depends on what you need built. Typical work includes custom themes, custom plugins, integrations with other systems, custom post types, multisite setups and migrations. Your proposal lists every item in scope.
Do you build custom plugins or use existing ones?
We use well-maintained plugins when they do the job well. When they do not, or when several plugins would be needed to fake one feature, we write a custom plugin instead.
Can you work on a site another developer built?
Yes. We start with a code audit so we understand what is there, then fix or extend it. If parts of the build are risky, we tell you before we change them.
How much does custom WordPress development cost?
It depends on scope and complexity. A single feature costs far less than a full custom build or an enterprise multisite project. You get a fixed price after a technical discovery call.
Do you do WordPress ecommerce development?
Yes. Our WooCommerce development team handles WordPress ecommerce, including custom checkout flows, product types and store integrations.
Who owns the code you write?
You do. We hand over the full repository, documentation and all access when the project ends.
