Custom WordPress Theme Development

Get a website that's built for your business, not adapted from someone else's. I develop custom WordPress themes from scratch with clean, lightweight code and no page-builder bloat slowing your site down. The result is a faster website that's easier to maintain and perfectly matched to your brand.

Custom Plugin Development & Integrations

Off-the-shelf plugins don't always fit the way your business works. I develop custom plugins and integrations that connect WordPress to your booking systems, CRMs, payment processors, and other business tools, so your website works with you instead of against you.

WordPress Development FAQ

What's the difference between web design and web development?

Web design focuses on how your website looks and feels: layout, colors, and user experience. Web development is the code that makes it all work, including custom features, integrations, and functionality. Most projects need both, and I handle the two together seamlessly.

Can you add custom features to my existing WordPress site?

Yes! I regularly build custom functionality for existing WordPress websites, including booking systems, calculators, member areas, and integrations with third-party tools. I’ll work with your current theme and plugins whenever possible.

Do you build custom themes or use page builders?

I hand-code custom themes for performance and flexibility. Page builders are convenient, but they add bloat that slows your site down. Custom code keeps your website fast, secure, and easy to maintain long-term.

Will custom development slow down my website?

Just the opposite. Custom development usually makes websites faster because it replaces heavy plugins and page-builder bloat with lean, purpose-built code that does exactly what you need and nothing more.

What other web services do you offer?

I also offer WordPress web design services, WordPress maintenance & care plans, and small business website hosting services.
