WordPress Theme & Plugin Development
Custom themes, child-theme improvements, plugin development and performance work for WordPress sites, done with hooks, security and updates in mind.
Most WordPress problems come from patched cores, heavy page builders and plugins that fight each other. We build with the WordPress API so the site stays fast and upgradeable.
What you get
- Custom or child themes that survive parent updates
- Plugins with proper hooks, nonces, capabilities and escaping
- Speed: caching, image optimisation, script trimming
- Migrations, integrations and WooCommerce work
Deliverables
- Versioned theme or plugin in a Git repository
- Staging and deployment workflow
- Documentation for editors and administrators
Stack we use
From requirements to production
- 01Requirements
A discovery call, then a written scope with acceptance criteria and a realistic estimate.
- 02Design
Architecture, data model and API contracts agreed before code is written.
- 03Build
Short iterations with demos; code reviewed, typed and documented as we go.
- 04Test
Unit, integration and end-to-end tests; QA passes against the acceptance criteria.
- 05Deploy
Docker, CI/CD and cloud setup with monitoring, then a production handover.
- 06Support
Production bug fixing, performance tuning and improvements after launch.
Ways to work together
Fixed-scope project
A written scope, milestones and a fixed price. Best for a defined feature, integration, migration or redesign.
Monthly retainer
Reserved engineering hours every month for ongoing development, maintenance and production support.
Hourly & advisory
Architecture reviews, code reviews, pairing sessions and second opinions, billed by the hour.
Recent work
W3Colleges: a full redesign that kept every URL
This site is our own case study: a new design system, article reader, listing pages, search, login, hub pages and a CI/CD pipeline, delivered as a child theme without touching WordPress core, while 400+ articles, their URLs and SEO metadata stayed intact.
Questions
Do you fix broken or hacked sites?
Yes: cleanup, hardening, backups and a fixed-scope recovery plan.
Can you improve an existing theme instead of rebuilding?
Usually yes, through a child theme, which keeps the cost low and updates safe.
