No page builders
No Elementor, no Divi. The theme is written by hand, so pages load only what they need, the design stays consistent, and you are never tied to someone else's licence just to keep editing your own site.

Custom WordPress development in Puerto Rico, built to last
Custom themes and block patterns your team can edit without breaking the design.
01 · Overview
Our WordPress development in Puerto Rico starts from one simple idea: your site should be easy to edit and hard to break. We write a bespoke theme with Gutenberg blocks made for your actual content, instead of stacking a bought template on top of a page builder. The result loads quickly, looks the way it was designed, and does not need thirty plugins to stay upright.
A lot of WordPress sites come to us worn out: slow, buried in settings nobody understands, and one core update away from trouble. We fix that at the root. Every template is written by hand, every block has a clear job, and the plugins that remain are few, well known and maintained. Your team publishes with confidence, and updates stop being a gamble.
We work from San Juan with businesses across the island, and remotely with clients in the mainland United States, the Caribbean and Europe. Projects run on a fixed scope and fixed price with staged payments, and most take around eight weeks. At launch the site, the code and the content are yours, and the first thirty days of monitoring are included.
We build WordPress the way it was meant to be built: a bespoke theme, purpose-made blocks, and an editor experience that guides your team instead of handing them a thousand settings. No page builder bloat, no thirty-plugin dependency chain, no dread when a core update lands.
A custom WordPress site your team can actually run
Blocks that cannot break
We build Gutenberg blocks and patterns for your real content types. Your team picks one, fills in the fields and publishes; spacing, colour and type are already settled and cannot be knocked out of place by accident.
Updates without dread
With a short list of well-chosen, maintained plugins, updating WordPress stops being a gamble. We add security hardening and automated backups, so if something does go wrong it is a quick fix rather than an emergency.
You own all of it
The theme, the code, the content and every login are in your name. If you later decide to run the site in-house or work with another team, you can do it without asking us or paying to get anything back.
How we build your WordPress site
-
01
Discovery and scope
We look at your current site, your content and who will be editing it. That conversation becomes a written brief with the scope, the schedule and a fixed price, agreed before any work begins.
-
02
Design and content model
We design the key pages and, alongside them, define the blocks, patterns and content types your team will use. Design and the editing experience are worked out together from the start, not bolted on later.
-
03
Theme development
We hand-code the theme against a page-weight budget, with accessibility built in and plugins kept to a minimum. Existing content is migrated where needed, and everything is tested on real devices before launch.
-
04
Training and launch
You get a written handbook and a recorded walkthrough of the editor. We launch, set up backups and monitor the site for thirty days. After that, take it in-house or move onto an optional care plan.
Who this is for
- Teams that publish often and want to do it without calling anyone
- Businesses with a slow or fragile WordPress site that needs rebuilding properly
- Organisations stuck on a page builder that want a clean way out
- Puerto Rico businesses needing a bilingual site that is easy to maintain
- Anyone who wants to own their site outright, not rent it from an agency
What people ask about this service.
It depends on the number of templates, custom blocks, integrations and whether there is content to migrate. That is why we do not publish package prices: we hold a free scoping call, write a brief and send you a fixed price. The number you approve is the number you pay, split into staged payments tied to sign-offs rather than hours.
Yes. We migrate posts, pages, media and, where relevant, users and form data into the new theme. We keep URLs that already earn traffic or set up redirects so you do not lose search rankings. Before launch you review everything on a staging site with your real content already in place.
Because they add weight to every page, make the design depend on hundreds of settings, and tie you to a third-party licence. A hand-written theme loads faster, is easier to maintain and gives your team only the options they need. Editing is still visual, through WordPress's own block editor.
That is the point. Blocks are designed so they cannot be arranged into something broken, and we hand over a written handbook plus a recorded walkthrough. Most teams are editing confidently within a day. If anything comes up, the first thirty days of monitoring and fixes are already included.
Yes, through an optional monthly care plan for sites we built: core and plugin updates, backups, uptime and security monitoring, a set block of change requests and a quarterly performance review. It is not required; the site is yours, and you are free to run it in-house instead.
