Custom Web Development
Custom web development, for when the template runs out.
Most businesses do not need custom. When you do, it is usually because a product, a pricing model or an integration refuses to fit a theme — and forcing it costs more than building it properly.
Why it matters
When custom is the cheaper option.
Templates are excellent value until the moment you start fighting them. The tell is a growing list of plugins, each patching a gap, each one more to update and more to break. At that point the theme is no longer saving you money; it is charging rent.
Custom means the code does exactly what your business does and nothing else. Fewer moving parts, faster pages, and no vendor deciding your roadmap. It also means the structure is yours — so when SEO work starts, there is nothing to undo first.
We build on modern, boring technology on purpose. Anything we hand over should be maintainable by another competent developer, not just by us. If a template genuinely does the job, we will tell you to use one.
No plugin tax
Fewer dependencies to update, break or pay for annually.

Questions
Frequently asked.
If you can describe your site as “a few pages and a contact form”, you don't. If you are describing logic — quoting, booking, tiered pricing, an integration with your operations system — you probably do. The audit gives you a straight answer.
Usually, yes — eight to sixteen weeks against four to six. What you get back is a site that stops needing workarounds, which is where template projects quietly lose the time they saved.
We can, or your team can. Everything is documented and built on mainstream tooling specifically so you are not trapped. Lock-in is not a business model we want.
