Engagement options
Three ways to work with us.
Whether you want a single new build, a careful migration off page-builder bloat, or a senior team on retainer, we have a clean shape for the work.
Headless WordPress
WP as a headless CMS with Next.js or Astro front-end. Best of both worlds: editor familiarity, modern performance.
From $35,000
Care plan
Hosting monitoring, daily backups, security hardening, plugin and core updates, performance budgets, and small content edits.
From $450/mo
What's inside the build
Built for editors. Optimized for everyone else.
Most WordPress projects fail because nobody designed for the editor experience. We design that flow first, then layer on performance, security, and SEO without compromise.
Gutenberg + ACF blocks
Native block editor with custom blocks for the patterns your team actually publishes. Friendly previews, no Frankenstein layouts.
Performance & CWV
Image optimization, asset budgets, caching strategy, and database hygiene. Lighthouse 95+ at launch on the templates we ship.
Security hardening
Wordfence or Patchstack baseline, principle-of-least-privilege roles, hidden admin URL, 2FA, and offsite backups.
SEO baked in
Yoast or Rank Math configured properly, schema markup, internal-link architecture, and clean URL strategy from day one.
Hosting recommendations
Kinsta, WP Engine, or Cloudways depending on your stack. We set up staging, deploy, and CDN. No more dial-tone shared hosting.
WooCommerce option
For content-led commerce we build on WooCommerce with custom checkout and product templates. Pure DTC, we usually recommend Shopify.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?
Only when a client requires it. Our default is a custom theme with native Gutenberg blocks and ACF flexible content. That keeps the site fast, accessible, and easy to maintain without compounding plugin debt.
What does a custom WordPress site cost?
Custom WordPress themes typically run $15,000 to $45,000 depending on page count and integrations. Headless WordPress builds start around $35,000. Care plans start at $450 per month.
Do you build WooCommerce stores?
Yes. We build WooCommerce stores when WordPress is the right fit, especially for content-led brands. For pure DTC commerce we usually recommend Shopify; we will tell you which platform fits before we quote.
Can you migrate or rebuild an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We migrate from page-builder bloat, dated themes, and custom legacy code into a clean, modern WordPress build with redirect mapping, content audit, and zero indexation loss.
What does a WordPress care plan include?
Hosting monitoring, daily backups, security hardening, plugin and core updates, malware scanning, performance budgets, and a small monthly bucket of design and dev hours for content changes.
Will my team be able to edit pages easily?
That is the design constraint we start from. Editors get sensible blocks, clean previews, and a documented playbook so anyone on your team can publish without breaking the layout.
