WordPress website design services built around your business

WordPress runs a large share of the web because it is flexible and easy to update, but most WordPress sites are slow, bloated with plugins or built on a theme that looks like everyone else’s. Our WordPress website design services build a custom theme for your brand, keep plugins to what you need and set up an editor your team can use without breaking anything. Then we keep it secure, updated and fast.

What it is

What WordPress website design services include

Every site starts with design: understanding your customers, mapping the pages they need and designing a site that looks like your own business. We then build a custom WordPress theme with reusable blocks, so your team can create new pages that stay on brand. The result is a site that looks like your business and is easy for your team to keep up to date.

If you are looking for a WordPress developer in NYC, we are a New York agency working with businesses across the US and the UK. Our developers write clean, fast code, use a small set of well-supported plugins and build with search in mind from the first wireframe, so the site is ready to rank on launch day.

Signs you need a new WordPress site

In depth

WordPress website design services in depth

What makes a WordPress site fast, secure and easy to run for years.

Fewer plugins, better code

Every plugin adds code, updates and potential security holes. Many sites use plugins for things a few lines of theme code would do better. We build common features into the theme, choose well-maintained plugins only where they add real value and document every one, so the site stays fast and easy to update. When a plugin is the right answer, we pick ones with active development, good reviews and a clear update history.

An editor your team can use

WordPress is only easy if the editing experience is designed. We build custom blocks for your layouts, such as service cards, testimonials and calls to action, lock the parts that shouldn’t change and leave the rest flexible. Your team can build new pages that look right without calling a developer.

Security and care after launch

Most WordPress sites that get hacked are running out-of-date software. Our care plans keep WordPress, the theme and plugins updated, run daily backups, monitor uptime and security, and fix problems before they reach your customers. If something does go wrong, a recent backup and a developer who knows the site mean it is fixed in hours, not days.
