WordPress Development
Agency
AvixDigital is a WordPress development agency for businesses across the EU, the UK and the US. We build websites your team can edit with confidence, in Elementor Pro or as a custom theme, with integrations, WooCommerce and performance work scoped around your business.

Elementor, themes & builders
WordPress development services
The right build depends on your content, editing needs, integrations and maintenance budget. We compare an Elementor Pro build with a custom WordPress theme before development starts. Need a portal or business tool rather than a CMS? See our custom web application development service.
For a Bricks example, see the 42 custom Bricks elements we built for Products for Home.
01/ 03Elementor Pro
Elementor Pro website development
We build Elementor Pro websites with Theme Builder templates, reusable sections and global styles, so your team can update pages without breaking the design. Image sizing, asset loading and caching are reviewed alongside the design, with performance measured on your live website.
- Theme Builder templates
- Global colours & typography
- Dynamic content with ACF
- Add-on & asset review
02/ 03Custom themes
Custom WordPress theme development
A custom WordPress theme suits projects with specific layouts, structured content or unusual functionality. We build the templates, Gutenberg blocks and Advanced Custom Fields your editors need, keep plugin dependencies deliberate and test the agreed features before launch.
- Bespoke PHP templates
- Advanced Custom Fields
- Lightweight Gutenberg blocks
- Secure coding practices
03/ 03Bricks & Divi
Bricks & Divi website development
Already running Divi or Bricks Builder? We audit the existing setup, then agree which templates, components and features need work. Keeping a familiar editing workflow can save budget when a complete rebuild is unnecessary.
- Bricks Builder components
- Divi global presets
- Conditional display logic
- Clean custom CSS & JS
Speed, care & control
WordPress performance & maintenance
Your website should serve customers and the people maintaining it. We plan content structure, integrations, WordPress speed optimisation and ongoing maintenance together, so responsibilities are clear after launch.
At AvixDigital, we connect the approved interface design with the content model and functionality it needs. Custom fields, WordPress REST API integrations and hosting configuration are selected for your requirements, with access and third-party dependencies agreed before the build.

Updates & backups
We agree administrator access, core and plugin updates, backups and who maintains what. No website can be guaranteed immune to attacks.

/ Common questions
WordPress questions, answered
Straight answers on cost, Elementor Pro, custom themes, WooCommerce, speed and maintenance before you commission a WordPress website.
Should I choose Elementor Pro or a custom WordPress theme?
Elementor Pro suits teams that want to build and edit pages visually, usually with a quicker, lower-cost start. A custom WordPress theme suits structured content, unusual functionality or strict performance goals, but needs more development and technical support. We compare both against your content, editing needs and budget before recommending one; neither guarantees search rankings.
How much does a custom WordPress website cost?
Cost depends on the number of page templates, content migration, integrations, WooCommerce requirements and whether you choose Elementor Pro or a custom theme. Paid plugin licences and ongoing maintenance are quoted separately. We send a written scope and quote after reviewing your brief; our pricing page shows typical starting packages.
Can you speed up a slow Elementor or Divi website?
Yes. We audit the site first, then prioritise oversized images, unused assets, caching and hosting issues. Results depend on the theme, plugins, third-party scripts and server, so we measure Core Web Vitals and load times on your actual site before and after, rather than promising a fixed Lighthouse score.
Do you build WooCommerce stores?
Yes. WooCommerce works well when your shop sits alongside substantial WordPress content or needs custom product logic. We set up the products, checkout, payments and shipping rules agreed in the scope. See our WooCommerce checkout funnel for Products for Home. If ecommerce is the core of your business, our Shopify development service may be the better fit; we recommend a platform after reviewing your catalogue and operations.
Do you offer WordPress maintenance after launch?
Yes, if you want ongoing support, we agree it in the scope: core and plugin updates, backups, access and the hosting environment, with changes tested where practical before release. Security is an ongoing process: a rebuild or a security plugin alone cannot guarantee protection from malware, so post-launch responsibilities are written down clearly.
Can our marketing team edit the website without code?
Yes. We design the editing workflow around the content your team manages, using reusable Elementor templates, custom fields or Gutenberg blocks where appropriate. Each project ends with an editing handover that explains which changes are safe to make yourselves and which need developer support.
Do you follow SEO best practices when building WordPress websites?
We set up a clear heading structure, indexable pages, editable titles and meta descriptions, internal links, properly sized images and relevant structured data. When replacing a website, we plan redirects for existing URLs to help retain the search visibility you have already built. These foundations support SEO; rankings still depend on content, competition and other factors.
