§ 01 · Anatomy of a project

What a 20-hour project looks like.

A real recent build. The same shape your project would take — same meter, same handoffs, same plain-English notes.

§ 03 · What we build

Six trades, all WordPress.

01

Custom themes

Hand-built Hello + Elementor templates, or fully custom themes when Elementor isn’t the right tool. Block-based, ACF, classic — your call.
02

Plugin development

A small plugin to do the thing your site can’t do yet. We write WordPress code the way the WordPress core does — boring, well-named, no surprises.
03

WooCommerce

Storefronts, custom product types, checkout customizations, subscriptions, payment integrations. We do this enough to know where the bodies are buried.
04

Gutenberg & Elementor blocks

Custom blocks your editorial team can actually use. Block patterns, reusable layouts, locked templates so the homepage stays the homepage.
05

Migrations & rescues

From other hosts, from Shopify, from a hacked site. We mirror, smoke-test, cut over — and bring SEO with us.
06

Performance & accessibility

Get to <1s. Pass WCAG 2.2 AA. We work in measurable units, not vibes — Lighthouse, axe, real-user metrics.
§ 04 · How a project runs

Discovery → quote → ship.

Five steps. No surprise contracts, no quarterly check-ins with someone who isn’t writing the code.

01

Discovery call

60–90 minutes. We learn the site, the team, the constraint. You get a written quote within 48 hours.
02

Quote in hours

Not “starting at,” not “TBD.” A real number with a range, and what would push it higher or lower.
03

Buy the hours

We start within 48 hours. No retainer needed; no contract beyond the SOW. WooCommerce checkout, card or invoice.
04

Build & ship

Daily commits. Staging links you can click. Plain-English progress notes — never just a Linear ticket id.
05

Hand-off & keep

Documentation in your repo. Optional maintenance plan to keep the new code healthy.

§ 06 · Common questions

Development questions, plainly answered.

Don’t see your question? 888-330-0399 — a real person picks up Mon–Fri.

Fixed prices either pad for risk (you overpay) or under-quote (we overbuild on margin). Hours keep us honest with you: you see the meter, you choose when to stop.

We tell you before we hit the cap and re-quote the remaining work in hours. You either top up or we ship what we have. No surprise invoices.

Yes. Mutual NDA up front, on your paper or ours.

A large share of our work is behind agency brands. We use your project management, your client-facing tools, your contracts. You keep the relationship.

“Rush” means we drop our regular pace. We do it, but at a 50% rush multiplier — and we’ll tell you up front if it’s likely to break something.

Yes. We write standard WordPress, in your repo, with no in-house “platform” layer. You can sack us tomorrow and pick up next week with anyone else.

§ 07 · Pairs well with

What our development clients also use.

01

Managed WordPress hosting

Fast, hardened, monitored. Includes updates, backups, and a real human when something is off.
02

Maintenance plans

Send us changes and we do them. Updates, backups, and a roll-back plan if anything goes sideways.
03

White-label partner

Behind your agency’s logo. We’ve been quietly powering studios since 2016 — your client never knows we’re here.
