Classic & Block Themes Custom Gutenberg Blocks

WordPress Theme Development

We build Classic and Block Themes, customise existing themes, and develop custom Gutenberg blocks — responsive, fast and easy for your team to use.

What We Build

From ground-up theme builds to custom blocks for the editor, here's how we cover WordPress theme development end to end.

Classic Themes

PHP-based themes built the traditional way, for full control over every template and detail.

  • PHP templates
  • Full control
  • Proven approach

  • ACF blocks
  • Dynamic blocks

Classic & Block Themes

Both are valid, well-supported approaches to WordPress theming. The right one depends on your project, not on which is "newer."

Classic Themes

PHP-based, template-driven

Built with traditional PHP template files. A mature, well-documented approach with the widest plugin and page-builder compatibility.

  • Best for highly custom, developer-maintained builds
  • Broadest compatibility with existing plugins
  • Fine-grained control over every template file
Block Themes

Full Site Editing, block-based

Built around the block editor giving your team more layout control directly from the WordPress dashboard.

  • Best when your team wants to edit layouts themselves
  • Global styles managed centrally through theme.json
  • Built on WordPress's current direction for theming

We build in both, and can advise which fits your project, your team and how the site will be maintained.

Gutenberg Development

When the default blocks can't do what your content needs, we build custom blocks that fit your exact use case, not a generic template.

Static & dynamic blocks

Blocks that render fixed markup or pull live data, depending on what the content needs.

ACF & native blocks

Built with Advanced Custom Fields or the native Block API, whichever suits your setup.

Editable, safe controls

Sensible InspectorControls so your team can make real changes without breaking the design.

Update-proof code

Built to WordPress core standards, so blocks keep working through theme and core updates.

Theme Customisations

Already have a theme, purchased or existing? We can extend, fix and tailor it, rather than rebuilding from scratch.

  • Classic & Block themes custom development
  • WordPress default theme improvements
  • Speed and performance fixes on your existing theme
  • Custom sections, layouts and page templates
  • WooCommerce and shop page styling
  • Responsive and mobile-specific fixes
  • Accessibility improvements
  • Rebranding: colours, typography and spacing

Our Theme Development Process

A structured process so design, build and testing come together without surprises at launch.

Step 1 of 5

Design Handoff

We review your designs (or help create them) and confirm scope, breakpoints and interactions before any code is written.

Step 2 of 5

Build

The theme or blocks are built to spec, with clean, standards-based WordPress code.

Step 3 of 5

Cross-Browser & Device Testing

We test across real browsers and devices, not just a single preview window.

Step 4 of 5

QA

A structured pass on functionality, responsiveness, performance and content editing before it goes anywhere near launch.

Step 5 of 5

Handover

You get a working, documented theme, plus support if anything needs adjusting after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a classic theme or a block theme?
It depends on how much editing control your team needs and how the site will be maintained long-term. Classic themes suit highly custom, developer-maintained sites. Block themes suit teams who want more layout control from the WordPress dashboard itself. We can help you decide based on your specific project.
Can you convert my classic theme to a block theme?
Yes. We assess your existing theme and content structure first, then plan a conversion that keeps your design and content intact while moving the underlying build to the block editor.
Do you build custom Gutenberg blocks?
Yes, we develop custom blocks using either Advanced Custom Fields or the native WordPress Block API, depending on your setup and how the block needs to be edited.
Can you customise a theme I already purchased?
Yes. We regularly extend, fix and tailor existing themes, including third-party and marketplace themes, rather than rebuilding from scratch.
