CMS Development
WordPress, WooCommerce, and CMS projects — custom themes, plugin development, and integration work.
What It Is
Custom WordPress and CMS development — theme builds, plugin development, WooCommerce integration, content architecture, and migration work. Not template installs. Custom engineering on top of CMS platforms when a CMS is the right tool for the job.
CMS work is scoped separately from custom application development. If the project needs a CMS, this is the service. If it needs a custom app, see Business Systems or App Starter instead.
Who It's For
Businesses that need a WordPress or WooCommerce site with custom functionality beyond what templates offer. Teams migrating from one CMS to another and need the content architecture done right. Clients who want a custom theme built on their brand rather than a off-the-shelf template. E-commerce stores needing WooCommerce configuration, payment integration, or custom plugin work.

Pricing
Project-Based
- Scoped per project
- Fixed price after discovery
- Covers theme, plugin, or migration work
Ongoing Work
- Ad-hoc CMS development tasks
- Billed per task or per hour
- Plugin updates, content changes, fixes
CMS projects follow the same scoping process as other project builds. A short discovery call determines scope and confirms pricing before work begins.
How It Works
Discovery
We review your content requirements, existing site (if any), and business goals. This determines whether WordPress is the right fit or if a custom solution is needed.
Build
Custom theme development, plugin configuration, content architecture, and integration work. Milestone-based delivery so you see progress at each stage.
Launch
Deployment, DNS configuration, SSL setup, and handover documentation. Your team gets access credentials and a walkthrough of the admin interface.
