Working with us
Custom WordPress development with less friction behind the scenes
You get a WordPress site that is easier to publish on, faster to load, and built around how your business actually works. That can mean cleaner editorial workflows, safer migrations, better search stability, stronger conversion paths, or custom admin tools that remove manual work.
We handle WordPress development for media companies, membership businesses, ecommerce brands, and service firms that have outgrown themes, patchwork plugins, or hard-to-maintain legacy sites. Common work includes custom builds, WooCommerce development, and WordPress migrations.
What we cover
A better WordPress site starts with the right build decisions.
01
Custom Website Development
We build custom WordPress websites around your content model, user flows, and business goals instead of forcing everything into an off-the-shelf theme. You get a site that fits your team and stays easier to extend.
02
WordPress Redesigns
We redesign outdated WordPress sites without losing sight of what already works. That includes improving navigation, templates, and mobile behavior so the new site looks better and performs better.
03
Platform Migrations
We migrate sites into WordPress from legacy CMS platforms, old WordPress setups, or fragmented publishing systems. We map content, preserve URLs where needed, and reduce the SEO and data-loss risks that usually make migrations stressful.
04
WooCommerce Development
We build WooCommerce stores and paid content experiences with custom checkout flows, product logic, subscriptions, and integrations. You get ecommerce tools your team can manage without developer workarounds.
05
Custom Gutenberg Blocks
We create custom Gutenberg blocks and editorial components so your team can build pages, landing pages, and content layouts without touching code. That gives editors more control while keeping the site consistent.
06
Plugin and Integration Work
We develop custom WordPress functionality when plugins are not enough, and we connect WordPress to CRMs, email platforms, paywalls, analytics, and internal tools. You get cleaner operations and fewer manual steps.
07
Performance and SEO Foundations
We improve site speed, template structure, and technical setup so your WordPress site is easier for users to use and easier for search engines to crawl. That includes the practical work behind better Core Web Vitals, cleaner markup, and stable migrations.
08
Ongoing Support
We stay involved after launch with maintenance, security updates, feature work, and iterative improvements. You get a WordPress partner who already knows your system when the next priority shows up.

Their project manager was among the best I've worked with. They migrated 1,000+ articles, handled testing through production, and let our team focus elsewhere without micromanaging.

Refact is great to work with in our complicated business. They launched a great-looking WordPress site, and our overall engagement grew by about 20% after launch.

Refact's response speed is fast, and answers or solutions come as fast. Site speed went from a D to a B+, themes were safely updated, and we did not need an in-house webmaster.

FAQS
Commonly asked questions
What does a WordPress development company actually do?
A WordPress development company plans, designs, builds, and supports websites on WordPress. That can include custom themes, WooCommerce development, migrations, integrations, performance work, and ongoing maintenance.
Can you migrate our current site to WordPress without hurting SEO?
Yes, if the migration is planned properly. We map URLs, redirects, content structure, metadata, and QA steps carefully because that is what protects search visibility during launch.
Can you build custom Gutenberg blocks and admin tools?
Yes. We often create custom Gutenberg blocks, editorial tools, and admin workflows so your team can manage content without relying on developers for routine updates.
Is WordPress a good fit for publishers and content-heavy sites?
Yes, especially when it is customized around your editorial workflow and content model. WordPress is strong for publishing, archives, memberships, sponsored content, and teams that need a usable CMS.
Do you use prebuilt themes or build custom WordPress sites?
We usually build custom WordPress sites when the business has specific workflow, design, or functionality needs. We make that call during discovery so you do not overbuild or inherit a setup that is hard to maintain.
Do you offer WooCommerce development services?
Yes. We build WooCommerce stores and paid content systems with custom checkout logic, subscriptions, product setup, and integrations with the rest of your stack.
Do you help with WordPress performance and plugin issues?
Yes. We improve WordPress performance by auditing themes, plugins, templates, and hosting setup, then fixing the things that actually slow the site down or create instability.
Do you provide support after the site launches?
Yes. We stay involved with maintenance, security updates, feature work, and ongoing improvements because most WordPress sites need steady attention after launch, not a handoff and silence.
