Generally speaking, they are heavily reliant on 3rd party plugins. The result is that they can be very slow and sluggish, depending upon how well the plugins are written. They can also be prone to security breaches. The off-the-shelf WordPress themes usually use common plugins that, due to their popularity, are targeted by hackers for vulnerabilities. We can develop custom WordPress theme that is Fast and Secure that are Block based full site editing (FSE) compatible WordPress themes.

We have also found, despite claims by theme designers, that a lot of common themes are not SEO ready. Firstly there is the speed issue, search engines don’t like slow websites. Secondly, a lot the correct SEF (Search Engine Friendly) coding practices are not incorporated into the WordPress theme development. Our custom WordPress websites are designed to be fast and Search Engine Friendly, as well as fully responsive.

One of the main things about having a bespoke WordPress theme developed for you business is that we can build into the design custom WordPress functionality. We are experienced WordPress developers. This is of benefit on two levels. Firstly we can build complex site functionality like Booking systems, Directories or WordPress e-commerce Websites. We can also make the addition of content types super easy, developing custom Blocks and ensuring that it is compatible with WordPress’s FSE. For example, case studies or projects that you would like displayed in a consistent format on the front end.

And, Lastly, but not least, your website does not have to look like everybody else’s. Most common WordPress themes are built using common website design frameworks. For example something called “Bootstrap” is commonly used by web designers. Not only is this very bloated, using a lot of code (making websites slow) all the websites end up looking extremely similar. Looking the same as everyone else can be good, but standing out from the crowd is better. There are so many websites now, in every sector, that you need your website to be memorable! Getting your custom WordPress theme designed means that together we can come up with a design that looks good and is unique.
