Frequently Asked Questions
- How is custom theme development different from using a page builder?
Custom themes are coded from scratch with clean, optimized code specifically for your needs. Page builders add significant bloat, slow down your site, and limit customization. Custom themes are faster, more flexible, and provide better SEO performance.
- Can I update the theme myself after it's built?
Yes! We build custom theme options panels that let you modify colors, fonts, layouts, and content without touching code. For content updates, you’ll use WordPress’s familiar editor. We also provide full documentation and training.
- Will my custom theme break when WordPress updates?
No. We follow WordPress coding standards and best practices to ensure compatibility with future updates. Unlike some pre-built themes, custom themes are designed to work seamlessly with WordPress core updates.
- How long does custom theme development take?
A basic theme takes 6-8 weeks, professional themes 8-10 weeks, and enterprise themes 10-16 weeks depending on complexity. Timeline includes design, development, revisions, testing, and deployment.
- Do I own the theme after it's developed?
Absolutely! You receive complete ownership of the theme code and all design assets. No licensing restrictions, no ongoing fees—it’s 100% yours to use, modify, or even resell if you wish.
- Can you make my theme compatible with WooCommerce?
Yes! We can integrate full WooCommerce support with custom product pages, cart, checkout, and shop layouts that match your brand perfectly. This includes custom styling for all WooCommerce elements.
- What if I need changes after the project is complete?
Minor tweaks and bug fixes are included during the support period (30-90 days depending on package). After that, we offer maintenance plans or hourly rates for updates, new features, or enhancements.
- Will my custom theme be mobile-friendly?
Yes! All our custom themes are built with a mobile-first approach, ensuring perfect display and functionality on all devices. We test extensively on various screen sizes, browsers, and devices.
