Why a bought theme falls short
A bought theme is built for everyone, so it carries code and options you never use, and it fights your design. A custom theme contains only what your site needs, which makes it faster and easier to maintain.
The usual way
- A theme with hundreds of unused options
- Plugins added to cover gaps
- A page builder slowing every page
How I do it
- A theme built from your design
- Only the code the site uses
- Pages your team can edit safely
What theme development includes
Figma to WordPress
I build your design as drawn, on a staging site, and check it on real phones. Tabby was built this way.
Editable by your team
Blocks or fields for the parts you change, so you do not need a developer for every edit.
Fast by default
Little code shipped and images handled properly. Tabby launched with Core Web Vitals above 90.
Built to survive updates
Clean code that keeps working when WordPress and plugins update.
Handover and care
Backups, updates and changes after launch, on a care plan if you want one.

Tabby
A website relaunch for Tabby: front end, back end, custom plugins and payments, then the full 2.0 rebuild with its SEO kept in place.

TubeOnAI
Why a WordPress site keeps going down: on TubeOnAI it was leftover cache plugin files, fixed at the root.

How a theme project runs
- Step 01
Study your competitors
I look at what competitors do well and where they leave gaps, before a single screen is drawn.
- Step 02
Design the UI and UX
I design the screens myself, so what you approve is what gets built.
- Step 03
Build frontend to backend
Pages, accounts, orders, payments and the admin dashboard, built as one job.
- Step 04
Launch and look after it
Speed checked on a phone, then backups, monitoring and changes through website care.

Will I be able to edit the pages?
Yes. I make the parts you change often editable and keep the rest in code, so edits do not break the design.
