WordPress development

WordPress websites built to last.

We build custom WordPress websites for associations, regulators, and non-profits: fast, accessible, easy for your team to run, and on a platform you own.

WordPress development

Your team runs your website every day. We build it that way.

Most websites look good on launch day. The real test comes a year later, when a new staff member publishes a page, a plugin needs an update, or your membership system changes. We build for that year, and the years after it, with a senior, in-house team writing every line.

Standards

What every website we build includes.

Whatever the size of the project, this is the standard we hold our work to.

The latest WordPress, a custom block theme. No page builders and no multipurpose themes.

Blocks, patterns, and templates for your content. The approved design is built into the editor, so new pages stay on brand.

WCAG 2.2 AA, tested by people. Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and screen reader testing. We don’t use overlays.

Fast on any device. Optimized assets, caching, and load testing against Core Web Vitals.

Ready to be found. Semantic markup, structured data, metadata, sitemaps, and redirects from every changed address.

Connected to your systems. Your AMS, CRM, learning platform, payments, and analytics, through supported APIs.

Secure by default. Validated input, escaped output, role-based access, and only commercially supported plugins.

Reviewed and tested. Version control, code review, and testing across devices and browsers, guided by ISO 9001 principles.

Yours from day one. Training, documentation, and a three-month warranty on the code we write.

Process

Six phases, one senior team.

WordPress shapes every phase of our process, not only development. By the time we write code, you have approved the plan, the style book, and a prototype of the blocks your team will use. Every phase includes two rounds of revisions and ends with your approval, a dedicated project manager keeps you updated throughout, and every website we build includes a three-month warranty.

Code quality

Code we would be happy to inherit.

Great WordPress development is mostly invisible. It lives in hundreds of small decisions about who can do what, what the website accepts, and what happens when something unexpected arrives. Every feature we build gets that same care.

Capabilities

Themes, plugins, and integrations, built for you.

Custom development is where WordPress stops being a template and becomes your platform.

Custom themes

A block theme built around your brand, with your design system defined once and applied to every block, pattern, and template.

Custom blocks and patterns

Templates and style books

Editor styles that match the website

Custom plugins

Features that belong to your organization rather than your design, so they survive a redesign. We build our own, too, including Canopy, a membership platform for WordPress.

Custom content types and directories

Admin tools and workflows

Member and learning features

Integrations

WordPress connected to the systems you already run, so information is entered once and stays in sync everywhere.

AMS, CRM, and learning platforms

Payments and analytics

Single sign-on

Questions

Fair questions about development.

Why WordPress?+

WordPress is open source, widely supported, and flexible enough for complex organizations. You own your website and your content, and you are never tied to a single vendor.

Can we edit the website ourselves?+

Yes. That is the reason we build with blocks. We train your team before launch and provide documentation for the blocks on your website.

Do you use page builders?+

No. We build for the native block editor. Page builders add weight, make content harder to move, and make it easy to break the design. The block editor keeps your content portable and ready for future WordPress releases.

Can you work on a website another agency built?+

Often, yes. We start with a review of the theme, plugins, and hosting, then recommend what to keep, fix, or rebuild.

How long does a build take?+

It depends on scope. A full website project, from discovery to launch, typically takes around six months, with time at the end of each phase for your review. We set specific dates at kickoff.

What if something breaks after launch?+

Every website includes a three-month warranty covering bugs or defects in our code and in how we integrated third-party tools. After that, our support and maintenance plans keep the website updated and secure.
