Custom theme development
A theme built to your design and content model, rather than a purchased theme bent until it fits.

WordPress theme & plugin development
Custom WordPress development for sites that have outgrown what a purchased theme or an off-the-shelf plugin can do—built as themes, plugins and integrations rather than as workarounds layered on top of someone else’s code.
What this coversWordPress
Custom themes and plugins that still work after the next update.
Custom plugin development
Functionality your business depends on, written as a maintainable plugin instead of edits scattered through a theme.
Headless & REST API integration
WordPress as a content back end behind a separate front end, or connected to the systems that already hold your data.
Performance and security hardening
Finding what is actually slow or exposed, then fixing it—rather than installing another plugin to mask it.
How it is judgedBefore you commission it
When it fits
- A plugin does 80% of what you need, and the last 20% is your actual business.
- The theme was purchased, and every change now fights it.
- It works, but nobody is confident enough to run the updates.
- Content editors are working around the site instead of with it.
How it is built
- Update-safe by construction: child themes, hooks and filters—never edits to core or to a third-party plugin.
- WordPress coding standards, so the next developer can read it without an introduction.
- Capability and nonce checks on every write path, and data escaped on output.
- Accessibility treated as a requirement during build, not as a pass at the end.
Not this
- Page-builder assembly
- Reselling a marketplace template
- One-off content or copy edits
Common questionsWordPress
Can you work on an existing site, or only new builds?
Both. Most WordPress work starts on a site that already exists and already earns its keep. The first step is reading what is there before proposing to change it.
Will I own the code?
Yes. Custom themes and plugins are delivered to you as source, with no licence to renew and no dependency on my continued involvement.
Can you work alongside our existing developer or agency?
Yes. Bringing in one specialist for a defined piece of work is common, and the handover is part of the deliverable rather than an afterthought.

Take the session when the work still needs scoping. Send the brief when you already know what needs building.
