Integrate — WordPress

WordPress

A fast, professional WordPress site your team can actually manage — custom-built around your brand, not a generic template with 40 plugins holding it together.

Honest fit

When WordPress is the right tool.

We build WordPress and custom Next.js sites, so the recommendation is about your case, not our tool.

A good fit if

  • Your site is mostly content your team edits often
  • Non-technical people need to publish without a developer
  • You’re already on WordPress and want it fast and secure
  • You want a custom theme, not a stretched premium template
  • You want a familiar editor with a fast Next.js frontend

Probably not a fit if

  • The site is really a web application, not a content site
  • You need complex integrations that outgrow a CMS
  • Performance needs go beyond what a CMS comfortably delivers
  • Nobody will maintain the site after launch

What we do

Custom themes, plugins and the work around them.

No premium theme stretched beyond recognition and no pile of plugins holding it together — just what your site needs, built properly.

  1. 01

    Custom theme development

    Themes built from your design, not a premium theme stretched beyond recognition — responsive, fast and on-brand down to the last block.

  2. 02

    Plugin development

    Custom plugins when off-the-shelf options don’t fit, built to WordPress coding standards with a proper admin UI and update support.

  3. 03

    Content migration

    Moves from Squarespace, Wix or an older WordPress install, with URL redirects, SEO preservation and image optimization handled for you.

  4. 04

    Performance optimization

    Caching, image optimization, database cleanup and plugin audits that cut load times and improve Core Web Vitals without breaking what works.

  5. 05

    Security hardening

    Login protection, file permissions, security headers, malware scanning and update policies that keep the site safe without slowing it down.

  6. 06

    Headless WordPress

    WordPress as the content backend with a Next.js or React frontend — the editing experience your team knows, with modern performance.

Ways to engage

Three ways we take on WordPress work.

Starting fresh, fixing what you have or keeping it healthy. Each is scoped individually around your actual site.

01

New build

A new site, or a move from Squarespace, Wix or another platform.

One-time project

Includes

  • Wireframes and mockups for key pages
  • Custom theme with Gutenberg blocks or ACF fields
  • Content types modeled around your content
  • Content migration with 301 redirects
  • Admin training before handoff

02

Rebuild & modernize

An existing WordPress site that’s slow, bloated or hard to edit.

One-time project

Includes

  • Audit of theme, plugins, hosting and security
  • An honest call: clean up, rebuild or start fresh
  • Plugin cleanup and Core Web Vitals work
  • Security hardening and malware scanning
  • Headless Next.js frontend where it makes sense

03

Care plan

WordPress sites we’ve built or audited that need someone responsible for them.

Monthly

Includes

  • Core, theme and plugin updates
  • Security patching and malware scanning
  • Daily backups and uptime monitoring
  • Support from the team that built it

Scope

What we build in, and what we leave out.

Clear scope before code — including the shortcuts we skip on purpose, because they’re how WordPress sites end up slow and insecure.

In scope

  • Custom theme built from your design
  • Gutenberg blocks and ACF content models
  • Custom plugins to WordPress coding standards
  • Content migration with 301 redirects
  • Yoast or RankMath SEO setup
  • Caching, image and database optimization
  • Security hardening and malware scanning
  • Staging site for review before launch
  • Admin training for your team

Not included

  • Premium themes stretched to fit your brand
  • A plugin for every small feature
  • Nulled or unlicensed premium plugins
  • Launching without backups or an update plan

Stack

The WordPress toolkit we work in.

Managed hosting on WP Engine or Kinsta, SEO through Yoast or RankMath, and a headless Next.js frontend when performance calls for it.

  • WordPress
  • Gutenberg blocks
  • ACF
  • Elementor
  • Beaver Builder

FAQ

What people ask about WordPress projects.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

01Why custom WordPress instead of a template theme?

Template themes ship with features you’ll never use, and that bloat is what makes most WordPress sites slow. A custom theme includes exactly what your site needs — so it loads faster, matches your brand instead of approximating it and doesn’t fight your team on every edit. If a template genuinely fits better, we’ll say so.

02Can you fix or take over an existing WordPress site?

Yes — it’s a big part of what we do. We start with an audit of your theme, plugins, hosting and security, then give you an honest recommendation: clean up what’s there, rebuild the broken parts or, in some cases, start fresh. You’ll know the tradeoffs before committing to anything.

03Do you handle WordPress hosting and maintenance?

Yes. We manage core, theme and plugin updates, security patching, daily backups and uptime monitoring, plus support from us when something needs attention. A WordPress site nobody maintains becomes a liability fast, so we treat launch as the start of the relationship, not the end.

04Will my team be able to edit content themselves?

That’s the whole point of WordPress. We build the admin experience so editing pages, posts and images is straightforward for non-technical people, and we train your team before handoff. If you still need a developer to change a headline, we didn’t do our job.

05WordPress or a custom Next.js site — which do I need?

It depends on what the site has to do. WordPress is a great fit for content-heavy marketing sites and blogs your team edits often; a custom Next.js build makes more sense for web applications, complex integrations or performance needs that outgrow a CMS. We build both, so the recommendation is about your case, not our tool.

06How much does a WordPress project cost?

Every WordPress project is scoped individually — a custom theme build, a migration and an ongoing maintenance plan are very different pieces of work. Share a rough budget range on our contact form and we’ll come back within 24 hours with a scoped estimate based on your actual site.
