Custom WordPress Theme Development

Bespoke, lightweight WordPress themes built from your design, fast, secure and SEO-ready.

Custom WordPress theme development gives you a website built exactly for your business, with no unused features, no heavy page builder and no fighting with someone else’s template.

I build bespoke WordPress themes from scratch or from your designer’s files, using clean, modern code that is fast, accessible and secure.

Why a Custom WordPress Theme?

  • Speed: only the code your site needs, which helps Core Web Vitals and SEO.
  • Brand consistency: every page matches your design system.
  • Security and longevity: fewer third-party dependencies and fewer things to go wrong.
  • Flexibility: custom post types, fields and integrations built around how your business works.

How I Build Themes

Design to WordPress

I turn Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch or PDF designs into pixel-perfect, responsive WordPress themes, or design a clean, professional layout with you if you don’t have one yet.

Gutenberg and ACF blocks

Your content is built from custom blocks such as hero sections, service grids, testimonials, FAQs and calls to action, built to match your design on every page.

Modern development workflow

SASS/SCSS, BEM methodology, version control on GitHub, staging sites and automated deployment keep your project organised and secure.

SEO and performance built in

Semantic HTML, correct heading structure, schema markup, optimised images and minimal JavaScript from day one. See speed and SEO optimisation.

Theme Development for Agencies

I work with design and marketing agencies as a white-label WordPress developer, turning your designs into robust, high-performing themes.

FAQs

Common Questions

Why choose a custom theme instead of a ready-made one?

Ready-made themes load features you don't use, which slows your site and makes it harder to maintain. A custom theme contains only what your site needs, so it is faster and more secure.

Can you build a theme from my designer's files?

Yes. I regularly turn Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch and PDF designs into pixel-perfect WordPress themes, and I'm happy to work alongside your designer or agency.

Do you support the theme after launch?

Yes. I offer ongoing support and maintenance, including new pages, updates and improvements, so your site keeps performing as your business grows.

Do you offer white-label theme development for agencies?

Yes. I provide white-label WordPress development for design and marketing agencies.
