Custom WordPress Themes
A WordPress theme coded for your site and easy for your team to edit
Custom WordPress Themes
Ready-made themes are a quick start, but they often bring layouts you don't need and settings that work against your design. We code WordPress themes from scratch, based on your Figma design or brand guidelines, with only the templates and blocks your site uses. Your team edits pages through the block editor and clearly labelled ACF fields, so routine changes to text, images and sections don't need a developer. If you sell online, we build the shop pages on WooCommerce.
What We Deliver
What's included in Custom WordPress Themes.
Built from your design
We turn your Figma file or brand guidelines into a theme with the same fonts, colours and spacing on every page. If you don't have a design yet, we can start from your logo, colours and a few sites you like.
Custom blocks and fields
Gutenberg blocks and ACF fields for the sections you use often, such as banners and service lists, so editors can build pages without breaking the layout.
Fast pages
Lean templates, resized images and scripts loaded only on the pages that use them. The speed comes from the theme itself, not from extra plugins.
Accessibility and SEO basics
Proper heading order, alt text fields, readable contrast and menus that work with a keyboard. The theme works alongside your SEO plugin rather than replacing it.
Responsive templates
Templates are checked on phones and desktops, including blog archives, single posts and custom post types such as projects or team members.
Editor guide
A short guide for your staff on the edits they make most, with hints written next to each field in the admin.
Our Process
How the work runs, step by step.
Review
We go through your design or brand material, your content and your current site, and list the templates and blocks the site needs.
Plan the theme
We agree on the page types, the block library and the fields editors will fill in, and confirm the scope and timeline with you.
Build
We code the templates and blocks on a staging copy, so your live site is untouched while the work is in progress.
Test
We check pages in common browsers and on phones, test the plugins you rely on, and fix any speed or accessibility issues we find.
Launch and handover
We put the theme live, move content across if needed and show your team how to edit. We can stay on for updates after launch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Custom WordPress Themes.
We build themes by hand and use the WordPress block editor with ACF for editing. That keeps the theme light and still gives editors a visual way to build pages within your design. If your team already works with a page builder, we'll talk through what a switch would mean before anything is decided.
Yes, for day-to-day changes. Text, images, new pages and blog posts are all handled in the WordPress admin using the blocks and fields we set up. Bigger changes, such as a new kind of page layout, are usually quicker with a developer.
Usually, yes. We list the plugins you rely on, such as WooCommerce, contact forms or your SEO plugin, and test them during the build. If a plugin is outdated or slowing the site down, we'll tell you and suggest an alternative.
Typically four to eight weeks for a business or marketing site, depending on scope: the number of templates and custom blocks, and how much content needs moving. Shops and larger sites take longer. We confirm the timeline after the review.
Yes. We can stay on for WordPress and plugin updates, fixes and small changes after launch. What that covers is agreed with you up front.
