Custom WordPress websites

These websites start from a design, either your graphic designer’s or one drawn for the occasion, and are then hand-coded on WordPress.

Why not an off-the-shelf theme

A bought theme or a page builder such as Elementor or Divi loads dozens of features the site will never use. It also imposes its own margins, fonts and way of laying out pages, so that in the end the design gets bent to fit the theme.

Here, the code contains only what the design calls for: pages are lighter and a design change is made in one place.

What you get

• a template for each type of page (home, news, entries, contact…)
• the mobile and tablet version, drawn from the design if the designer did not plan one
• the animations and effects from the mock-ups
• a back office with a dedicated form for each type of content
• training at delivery, then three months of technical support

The back office

You don’t lay out pages, you fill in fields. The WordPress block editor, which lets you move anything and so break anything, is switched off: years later, the pages still look like the design.

After launch

The site can grow step by step: a new section, a new type of page or an extra language is built like the rest, in the same code.
