Custom WordPress theme development
A professional, flexible foundation for your website—built to grow with your organisation.
About this service
We do some, you do some
—
We design and develop a lightweight, tailored WordPress theme that reflects your brand and fits your content needs perfectly. Unlike a pre-built template, your custom theme gives you control over pages, layout, and features, while letting you add new content confidently. We guide you along the way with coaching and support, so you can manage your site independently.
Who it’s for:
Ideal for organisations that want a professional, scalable website without paying for a full multi-page custom build—and don’t mind getting hands on.
Included with this service:
Initial consultation
Design mockup
Template build
Coaching and support
Website launch
What to expect
The process
Great websites come from a solid process. We’ll guide you through our proven five-step workflow so your site not only looks amazing but works for your audience.
Most custom WordPress themes are delivered within 6-8 weeks, though timelines can shift depending on features, content, and your deadline.
// Step one
Discovery and briefing
We’ll step you through a discovery process to understand how your goals, audience, and vision shape the strategy behind your new build. This culminates in a briefing document, to lock in the key details and information architecture.
// Step two
Design phase
We design a high-resolution mockup of your site’s key pages and templates. Think of it a bit like an architect’s drawings. This is the time to drop in any design related feedback, and make sure we’re all set on the overall look and feel.
// Step three
Build phase
Once the design is signed off, we start laying the proverbial bricks. We’ll turn the design mockups into a real life WordPress site which you’ll get to preview on our test server. This is usually when the final content will be added.
// Step four
Testing and launch
After testing, and when you’re ready, we flick the switch and your site is live for the world to see! We normally recommend a 7-day ‘soft launch’ for key stakeholders to review the site before you advertise it.
// Step five
Handover and support
First, we’ll make sure you’re well briefed on how to use the WordPress back-end. If you choose a website care plan, we’ll be available whenever you need for technical support, as well as general help with keeping your site up to date.
