Overview
WordPress sites that are fast, secure and easy to edit.
We build custom WordPress themes, Gutenberg blocks and plugins for businesses that need more than a template — without the bloat of heavy page builders. Your marketing team gets flexible, on-brand blocks to build pages with, and your visitors get a fast site.
Every build follows WordPress coding standards, uses as few plugins as possible and is hardened against the attacks that commonly target WordPress. Staging, backups and updates are set up properly, so the site stays healthy long after launch.
We also rescue existing WordPress sites: speeding up slow ones, untangling plugin conflicts, migrating from other platforms, moving to the block editor, or going headless with a Next.js front end when performance and flexibility demand it.
What's included
What you get with our CMS & WordPress service.
Custom theme development
A theme built from your design with reusable patterns and no page-builder overhead.
Gutenberg blocks
Custom blocks and patterns your editors can drop into any page while staying on-brand.
Plugins & integrations
Custom plugins and integrations with CRMs, payment gateways, booking systems and third-party APIs.
WooCommerce
Online stores with product, checkout, payment and shipping setups tailored to how you sell.
Speed & security hardening
Caching, image optimisation, database clean-up, security headers, locked-down admin access and malware scanning.
Migrations & headless WordPress
Moves from Wix, Squarespace or another CMS with redirects in place — or a headless build with Next.js.
Sounds familiar?
When teams call us.
- Your WordPress site is slow, fails Core Web Vitals or breaks after plugin updates.
- Editors avoid making changes because the page builder is fragile or confusing.
- You need features that off-the-shelf themes and plugins can't handle cleanly.
- Your site has been hacked or flagged for malware before.
- You're moving from another platform and want to keep your Google rankings.
Why DevSnippet
Why teams choose us for CMS & WordPress.
From marketing sites to full SaaS platforms, built in whatever stack fits the job — React, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Node, Django, .NET — and handed over with clean code you own.
No page-builder bloat
Native blocks keep pages fast and the editing experience simple.
SEO-ready from day one
Clean markup, structured data and redirect plans are part of every build.
Modern-stack developers
We also build in Next.js, so headless WordPress is an option rather than a rewrite.

FAQ
CMS & WordPress questions, answered.
We build custom themes with native Gutenberg blocks, so pages stay fast and editors get flexible, on-brand blocks instead of a heavy page builder. If your site already runs on Elementor or a similar builder, we can work with it or plan a gradual move away.
Usually, yes. We audit plugins, theme code, hosting and the database, then remove bloat, add caching and image optimisation and fix render-blocking scripts. Most slow WordPress sites improve dramatically once the heaviest plugins and builder output are dealt with.
Headless WordPress keeps WordPress as the editing back end but serves the site through a modern front end such as Next.js. It pays off for high-traffic or app-like sites that need top performance; for most business sites a well-built classic theme is simpler and cheaper.
Yes. Care plans cover core, theme and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime and security monitoring, and a set number of small content or design changes each month.
Most business sites take 3–6 weeks from approved scope to launch, depending on the number of templates, custom blocks and integrations. WooCommerce stores and migrations with lots of content take longer, and we confirm the timeline in writing.
Yes. We start with a health check — plugins, theme code, hosting, security and backups — fix anything urgent, then continue with improvements or a care plan. You get a short written report before we change anything.
