Custom theme development
A theme written for your brand and your pages, not a purchased template with the colors changed. Lightweight code, fast load times, and layouts that hold up on every screen size.
Why we build on WordPress, and why so many WordPress sites are bad
WordPress runs more of the web than any other platform, and most of the sites on it are slow. The reason is not WordPress. It is the page builder and the 40 plugins the last agency installed to avoid writing code.
We build the other way. Every theme is coded for the one site it runs, the plugin list stays short, and your team edits content in the standard WordPress editor without touching anything that can break the layout. You get the part of WordPress that matters, a site you own and your staff can update, without the part that makes people leave it.

How we build a WordPress site
- A custom theme coded for your site, with no Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery underneath.
- The standard WordPress block editor for your content, so anyone on your team can update pages after one training session.
- A short plugin list, each one chosen for a job the site cannot do without.
- Templates built for speed and tested against Google Core Web Vitals before launch.
- URL structure, headings, and internal links planned with our SEO team so the site ranks from the start.
- A staging site for every project, so you review real pages before anything goes live.
- Full ownership of the theme, the code, and the content. No licenses tied to us.
Moving to WordPress from another platform
Businesses leave Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy builders, and proprietary agency platforms for the same reason. They want to own the site, edit it themselves, and stop paying rent for a front door they cannot change.
The risk in moving is losing the search traffic the old site earned. We handle that by mapping every URL before the build, keeping the ones that rank, and redirecting the rest one to one. The Trust Guss migration moved more than 1,000 pages this way without a drop.
Timeline
Most custom WordPress sites launch in 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff. Builds with custom plugins, integrations, or large migrations run 8 to 10 weeks so there is time to test everything. Content is the usual holdup, so we set the writing schedule on the first call.

What WordPress development costs in Orlando
A $2,000 WordPress website is typically a purchased theme customized with your logo and content. That is a real product and, in some cases, the right solution. It simply isn’t custom web development, and it’s important to understand which one you’re buying. The full breakdown, including hosting and maintenance costs after launch, is available on our web design pricing page.

Orlando WordPress development FAQs
Experienced WordPress developers bill $100 to $150 an hour. A custom business site takes 80 to 150 hours of skilled work, which is how agencies land at $8,000 to $25,000 for a project. Hourly work for fixes and small features is available too.
A custom WordPress business website that includes strategy, design, development, and SEO structure typically ranges from $8,000 to $25,000. WooCommerce stores typically range from $20,000 to $75,000 and up. The full breakdown is available on our web design pricing page.
The sites people leave are slow, bloated, and break when a plugin updates. That is a page builder problem, not a WordPress problem. A hand coded theme with a short plugin list is fast, stable, and still lets your team edit everything, which is why we build that way.
Yes, when it’s built properly. WordPress gives you full control over URLs, headings, metadata, schema, and internal linking—everything an SEO team needs to optimize a website effectively. Our Orlando SEO team plans the site’s structure before development begins, and you can see how our design process works on our Orlando web design page.
No. Page builders let non developers assemble pages at the cost of speed, code bloat, and layouts that break when the plugin updates. We code the theme and give your team the standard WordPress block editor for content.
Often, yes. We find what is loading, cut what should not be, and repair the templates that are dragging. If the theme is beyond saving we will tell you, and a rebuild usually costs less than fighting a bad one for another year.
No. Every URL that ranks is inventoried before design starts and either kept or redirected. Search traffic should go up after a rebuild, not down, and we track it to make sure.
Yes. Every project includes training and a handoff period. After that, monthly maintenance with updates, backups, and security monitoring is available and never required. The site is yours either way.
