WordPress development that actually ships.
Custom WordPress development, plugin builds, third-party integrations, and migrations — delivered without the agency bloat. We build the thing, wire it in, and hand you something that actually works.
WordPress should work for you
Most WordPress problems aren’t WordPress problems.
A slow site is usually a plugin pile-up or an untouched hosting config. A site that’s hard to update is usually a theme that was built for the agency, not for you. We build custom WordPress — plugins that do one job well, integrations that don’t require a support ticket to maintain, and migrations that don’t lose anything. And when we’re done, you run the thing without us on speed dial.
- Custom builds, not assemblies. We write the plugin or the theme feature you actually need — not a collection of off-the-shelf parts held together with filters.
- Integrations that hold. CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways, third-party APIs — wired in so they survive the next update cycle, not just the launch.
- Migrations that don’t lose anything. Old CMS, Webflow, custom PHP, another WP install — content, SEO, redirects, and history intact on the other side.
What we build
Six types of WordPress development work we do every week.
One job, done right
WordPress plugins that do exactly what you need and nothing else. No feature bloat, no subscription lock-in, no “close enough” compromises. Built and tested against your actual data.
Built for editors, not agencies
Custom block themes and full-site editing setups your team can actually use — without a developer on call. Clean markup, fast defaults, and no CSS you didn’t ask for.
Wired in, not duct-taped
CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways, scheduling tools, and custom APIs — connected to WordPress properly so updates don’t break them and you can debug them yourself.
Content, SEO, history — intact
From Webflow, Drupal, Squarespace, or a custom CMS — we map your content, preserve your URL structure, and set up the redirects so Google doesn’t notice.
Fast pages, no plugins needed
We audit and fix slow WordPress sites at the code level — not by adding a caching plugin on top of a caching plugin. Core Web Vitals, server config, and real load testing.
A dev, not a ticket queue
Monthly development retainers for teams that need a WordPress developer on call — new features, updates, bug fixes, and the occasional “why is this broken” at 3am.
WordPress sites we’ve built
Custom development across healthcare, nonprofits, e-commerce, and SaaS.
Questions, answered
What people ask before handing us their WordPress project.
What do you mean by “custom WordPress development”?
It means we write code specific to your requirements, not configure plugins designed for someone else. Custom plugins, theme features, REST API integrations, and block patterns — built against your actual use case and tested with your real content.
Do you work with existing WordPress sites or only new builds?
Both. Greenfield builds and inheriting sites someone else built. If it’s a messy inheritance, we’ll audit it first and tell you honestly what’s worth fixing and what needs rebuilding.
How is this different from your WordPress design services?
Design is what it looks like. Development is how it works. Some projects need both — and we do both — but this page is about the engineering side: plugins, integrations, migrations, performance, and custom functionality. If you need design-first work, see our <a href=”/services/”>services page</a>.
Can you migrate our site from Webflow, Squarespace, or Drupal to WordPress?
Yes. We’ve migrated from Webflow, Drupal, Squarespace, Joomla, and bespoke PHP systems. We map content types, preserve permalink structures, set up redirects, and verify in Google Search Console after cutover so nothing is lost.
What does a WordPress development engagement typically cost?
Custom plugin builds start around $2,500. Full-site development starts around $8,000. Retainers start at $1,500/month. Migrations vary by content volume and complexity. The clearest path to a real number is telling us what you’re trying to build — we scope it fast.
