Custom WordPress websites built to last.

Page builders create bloated DOM trees, slow page loads, vendor lock-in, and ongoing licensing costs. They also make WordPress updates risky — page builder updates can break sites in subtle ways that take hours to diagnose. We build with PHP, native WordPress templating, and lightweight Gutenberg blocks where they fit. The result is a faster site, cleaner code, and a build that's easier to maintain over years rather than months.

Yes — migrations are a regular part of our work. We've handled migrations from Squarespace, Wix, Shopify (when paired with WooCommerce), Webflow, and various legacy CMS and static HTML sites. Migrations typically include content, images, page structure, blog and news posts, and SEO equity preservation through 301 redirect mapping. The migration phase is usually 1–2 weeks depending on data volume.

We host the sites we build, and update management is part of our managed hosting. WordPress core and security updates are applied within days of release after compatibility testing. Plugin updates are applied weekly after we've verified they don't introduce issues. If something does break, we have rollback capability — you don't lose your site to an automatic update.

Yes — content management is a primary design constraint for every site we build. We use the native WordPress editor with custom Gutenberg blocks designed around your team's content patterns. Several of our clients have non-technical staff who maintain their sites without developer involvement. The Corvallis School District communications coordinator is a good example — he maintains the site daily.

We build with the block editor. Gutenberg has matured significantly since its 2018 introduction, and the custom block ecosystem (especially ACF Pro blocks and block.json patterns) gives editors a clean, predictable content experience without the complexity of full-site editing or page builders. The classic editor is still available as a fallback for specific content types where it makes sense.

We tune every site for Core Web Vitals from day one. The typical performance stack includes: object caching (typically Redis), full-page caching with cart/checkout exclusions for WooCommerce sites, image optimization with modern formats (AVIF, WebP), lazy loading, CDN integration, asset minification and concatenation, and database query optimization. Target page load times: under 2 seconds on desktop, under 3 seconds on mobile.

Yes. WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility is the baseline for every site we build, not an upgrade. That includes contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, ARIA landmarks, focus management, and accessible form patterns. For public-sector clients, accessibility compliance often has regulatory implications (Title II of the ADA, Section 508), and we treat those requirements as non-negotiable.

A standard custom WordPress build runs 4–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger projects with complex integrations, multi-stakeholder review processes, or extensive content migration can run 8–12 weeks. Our Website in 1 Week option is a flat $3,500 for organizations that need to launch quickly without complex requirements.

Not always. For organizations that need to launch quickly with a focused budget, our Website in 1 Week option ($3,500 flat) is purpose-built for that case — still custom WordPress, still mobile-responsive, still tuned for performance, just with a tighter scope. We're happy to talk through whether that or a larger custom build fits your needs.
