WordPress Expertise
More than a template.
WordPress powers a huge share of the web, but getting it to perform at a professional, enterprise level takes real engineering. We build custom WordPress sites and web applications for organizations that have outgrown off-the-shelf themes and need WordPress to be fast, secure, and genuinely custom.
We’ve built and maintained WordPress sites in one of the most demanding environments there is, live events and the performing arts, where a site has to stay fast and stable through an on-sale. The Hanover Theatre runs on WordPress, built and supported by our team. That standard shapes how we build every WordPress project.
Whether you need a custom theme, a complex plugin, an integration with your ticketing or CRM, or a high-traffic site that won’t buckle, we engineer WordPress to do the job, not just to launch.
WordPress powers roughly 40% of all websites, but most run on bloated themes and plugins. We build the exception.
WordPress Solutions
Custom-built, secure, and fast.
We build WordPress the way it should be built: lean, secure, performant, and tailored to your organization, not forced into a pre-made theme.
Custom Theme & Plugin Development:
We build custom themes and plugins designed for your exact needs, no bloat, no fighting a template. Clean, maintainable code that does precisely what your organization requires.
Enterprise WordPress:
High-performance, secure WordPress for organizations that can’t afford downtime. We engineer for speed, security, and scale, including the high-traffic moments, like an on-sale, when the site has to hold. Ideal for Live Events & Broadway, Travel & Tourism, and enterprise.
Integrations:
We connect WordPress to the systems you run, ticketing platforms, CRMs, payment gateways, and marketing tools, so your site is part of a connected operation, not an island.
Migrations & Rebuilds:
Moving to WordPress, or rebuilding a slow, fragile, or hacked site? We migrate carefully and rebuild cleanly, so you keep your content and lose the problems.

WordPress needs upkeep. We keep it secure, updated, fast, and healthy with ongoing support, so small issues never become big ones.
