When your business has requirements WordPress doesn't handle out of the box, we build what's missing.
Not every website fits a standard template. Some businesses need functionality that doesn’t exist off the shelf, integrations with internal systems, or architecture that handles specific operational requirements.
That’s where custom development comes in. We build WordPress solutions for organisations that have outgrown basic websites, where the technical decisions matter as much as the visual design.
We don’t force your business into WordPress’s limitations. We build WordPress around your business.
Every project is different. Our approach stays consistent.
If off-the-shelf solutions aren't working, we can help.
Calculators, configurators, portals, or multi-step workflows that standard plugins can't handle.
Your site needs to talk to CRMs, ERPs, APIs, or other business systems.
High-traffic sites, large databases, or real-time data that demands optimised code.
Previous developers left messy code, broken features, or a site you can't maintain.
A product, platform, or tool that doesn't exist yet and needs building from scratch.
Six stages, two-week sprints, and a working demo at the end of each sprint.
Requirements gathering, system mapping, and feasibility assessment.
Database design, API specifications, and development roadmap.
Work broken into 2-week sprints with clear deliverables and checkpoints.
Clean, documented code with version control and automated testing.
Automated and manual tests on a staging site, then your sign-off. Nothing reaches production untested.
Staged rollout with documentation and training. Care plans from $147 a month after launch.
Every capability built with longevity and maintainability in mind.
Fast, accessible interfaces built from your designs and tested on real devices.
The server side your site runs on: database design, server configuration and the infrastructure underneath.
When existing plugins don't fit, we build custom solutions. Functionality designed specifically for your requirements and maintained as part of your website.
Connect WordPress to your business systems. CRM, ERP, marketing automation, inventory management, payment gateways. Data flowing where it needs to go.
Organise complex content properly. Products, locations, team members, resources. Structured data that's easy to manage and flexible to display.
Centralised management for organisations running multiple websites. Shared users, consistent functionality, efficient maintenance across all sites.
“From the initial discovery questionnaire to the final implementation, their team took the time to truly understand our brand, goals, and audience.”

Custom development is only valuable if it works reliably and stays maintainable over time. We build with that in mind.
Code that follows WordPress standards and best practices. Properly commented so any competent developer can understand and extend it.
Functionality tested across browsers, devices, and scenarios before launch. Edge cases considered and caught, not discovered in production.
All development tracked in Git. Clear history, easy rollbacks, collaborative workflows with your team if needed.
Changes tested in staging environments before touching production. No surprises when you go live.
Technical documentation so your team isn't dependent on us. How it works, why decisions were made, how to extend it.
Care plans from $147 a month keep custom code tested against every WordPress update.
If a well-supported plugin does most of what you need, use it. Custom code earns its place when a plugin would need heavy changes, or when the feature is core to how you make money. On Kitzee, the review verification was custom and the search runs on Algolia.
Most integrations come down to two systems agreeing on data: what moves, which way and how often. We map that before writing code. Ackcio’s site forms feed HubSpot directly, so sales sees every lead without retyping it.
We start with a code audit: what’s there, what’s risky and what’s worth keeping. You get a written report and a recommendation before anyone talks about a rebuild.
Proven, stable, supported. We don't chase trends. Every tool is chosen for reliability and long-term viability.
The answers to your questions. Get in touch if you can't find what you're looking for.
We start with discovery to understand requirements, constraints, and priorities. From there, we provide detailed specifications and fixed-price proposals. No vague estimates or open-ended hourly billing.
Yes, regularly. We’ll assess the existing codebase and advise on the best path forward. Whether building on what exists or starting fresh, we’re transparent about what makes sense. We start with a written code audit.
We use a structured change process. New requirements are documented, impact is assessed, and we agree on scope and timeline adjustments before proceeding. No scope creep, no surprises.
Yes. Custom functionality needs maintenance as WordPress evolves. Our care plans start from $147 a month and cover updates, compatibility testing and ongoing development.
Security is built into our development process from the start. Secure coding practices, proper authentication, data encryption where appropriate. We follow WordPress security standards and can work within compliance requirements.
Usually, yes. If there’s a documented API, we can build an integration. We’ll assess feasibility during discovery and be upfront about limitations or risks.
Most of our WordPress websites cost $8,000 to $15,000. Sites with integrations, member areas or a big migration start from $20,000. We fix the price after discovery, so there’s no open-ended hourly billing.
You do. Once the project is paid, the design, code and content are yours, on standard WordPress that any developer can work on. If you ever leave, you take everything with you (files, database, logins and documentation), and we’ll help with the move.
