Why Custom WordPress

WordPress, built the right way

WordPress powers a huge share of the web because it lets business owners update their own sites. The trouble usually starts with how it's built: a heavy theme, a page builder, and twenty plugins stacked on top of each other. The result is slow pages, broken updates and a site nobody wants to touch.

A custom WordPress website keeps everything good about WordPress — the editor, the ecosystem, WooCommerce — and leaves out the bloat. The design is made for your business, the plugins are chosen carefully and kept to a minimum, and the editing screens are set up around the content you actually change.

I've spent 20+ years building custom PHP sites, which is what WordPress is underneath. When a feature needs more than a plugin, I can write it.

Oregon WordPress Developer

WordPress development and repair, one developer

As a WordPress developer in Oregon, I handle the whole site: new builds, redesigns, WooCommerce, custom code, hosting, and repairs when something breaks. Because I build WordPress sites, I know how to fix them, and because I fix them, I know how to build them so they stay fixed.

New builds & redesigns

Custom WordPress and WooCommerce sites, from a supplied design or from scratch.

Repair & rescue

Critical errors, hacked sites, failed updates, and inherited sites nobody else wants to touch.

Custom PHP, hooks, APIs, forms and integrations when an off-the-shelf plugin isn't enough.

Migrations & hosting

Moves between hosts, domain and DNS cutovers, SSL, email authentication and cPanel.

Ownership restoration

Locked out, or the last developer disappeared? I help you regain admin, hosting and domain access.

Choosing a Build

WordPress or hand-coded?

I build both, so you get a straight answer. Here's how they compare for a typical small business.

	Custom WordPress	Hand-coded custom site
Editing content	Familiar WordPress editor for the whole team	Custom admin area for what you change most
Best for	Frequent updates, blogs, WooCommerce, plugin features	Sites that should simply work; custom booking or store logic
Ongoing upkeep	Core and plugin updates, backups	Very little — no plugins to update
Speed	Fast when built lean	Very fast by default
Pricing	Fixed quote after consultation	Packages from $199 to $999

FAQ

Custom WordPress Website FAQ

How much does a custom WordPress website cost?

Every custom WordPress build gets a fixed quote after a free consultation, based on the number of pages, design work, features such as WooCommerce or bookings, and any content migration. You see the full price before any work begins. If a hand-coded package from $199 to $999 would serve you better, I'll say so.

What makes a WordPress site "custom"?

The design, layout and features are made for your business instead of adapted from a theme demo. Custom templates, custom post types and fields, and custom PHP where needed keep the site lean and make it easy to edit the parts you actually change.

Should I use WordPress or a hand-coded website?

Choose WordPress if your team wants to publish and edit content often, run a blog, or use WooCommerce. Choose hand-coded if you want a fast site with nothing to update every month. I build both, so the recommendation is based on your needs.

Can you build a WooCommerce store?

Yes. Products, variations, cart and checkout, shipping and tax rules, Stripe and other payment gateways, and order emails — tested end to end before launch.

Do you use Elementor or other page builders?

When a client already uses Elementor or wants drag-and-drop editing, I work with it and keep it fast. For new builds I usually recommend a lighter custom theme, so the site loads faster and has fewer moving parts.

Can you move my existing site to WordPress, or redesign my WordPress site?

Yes. Content, images, SEO settings and URLs are carried over, with redirects set up so you keep your search rankings.

Are you a WordPress developer or a designer?

Both. I design the site and write the code, and I work below the dashboard in PHP, the database and the server. That means one Oregon WordPress developer can handle design, development, WooCommerce, hosting and repairs.

Who maintains the site after launch?

You can maintain it yourself — I'll show you how — or I can handle updates, backups and fixes. Repairs start at $99, and you always get a price before paid work.
