Custom WordPress Theme Development from Figma

We take your Figma file and build a hand-coded WordPress theme that matches every component, spacing token, hover state, and responsive breakpoint from the design. No generic starter themes. No visual builders under the hood. Every template is clean PHP and a well-structured stylesheet that your client can maintain, and that future developers can work in without retraining. We review the Figma file before starting and raise any gaps – missing mobile views, undefined states, unclear spacing – so development does not stall mid-project.

Gutenberg Block and Full-Site Editing Development

The Block Editor is now the standard authoring environment for WordPress, and we build for it properly. We create custom blocks using the Block API with full client-side preview, accessible markup, and clearly labelled controls your client can use without developer help. For sites on a block theme, we build full-site editing templates and parts that give editors control over every region of the page while keeping the structure consistent. Where inner blocks and block patterns make sense, we use them. Where they do not, we keep it simple.

Advanced Custom Fields and Content Architecture

Most agency clients need more than a title and body text. We design the content model first, then implement it using ACF or ACF Pro. Field groups are built to match how the client thinks about their content, not how the database thinks about it. Repeaters, flexible content fields, relationship fields, and options pages are used where they genuinely solve an editing problem. Every field is labelled with clear instructions so editors do not need documentation to understand what to do. ACF data is also properly exposed for headless or REST API use where the architecture requires it.

WooCommerce Development and Store Configuration

WooCommerce stores built under your brand cover the full setup: custom storefront theme matched to the design, product catalogue structure, variable products, pricing rules, shipping zones and methods, payment gateway integration, tax configuration, and a thoroughly tested checkout flow. We build with a focus on conversion – clear product pages, accessible forms, fast loading, and no checkout friction. For complex WooCommerce needs such as custom product configurators, subscription billing, or multi-vendor setups, we scope those under our dedicated WooCommerce white label service.

WordPress Plugin Development

Off-the-shelf plugins rarely do exactly what a client needs. We build custom WordPress plugins for requirements that sit outside the CMS core or that need to integrate with a client's existing systems. Common builds include custom post type plugins, admin dashboard tools, REST API endpoints for third-party integrations, payment or booking logic, membership gating, and front-end filtering systems. Plugins are built to WordPress coding standards, tested across the supported PHP version range, and documented so your agency can hand them off to any future developer.

Page Builder Customisation and Elementor Development

When a client is committed to a page builder workflow, we work within it properly. We build Elementor, Elementor Pro, and Beaver Builder templates that your clients can edit without breaking the design. Custom Elementor widgets, dynamic tags, theme builder templates, and popup builder setups are all in scope. We keep builder installs lean by disabling unused modules and ensuring the builder does not inflate the page weight unnecessarily. For clients already on Divi, we handle customisation and child theme work there too.

WordPress Migration and Site Redesign

Moving a WordPress site from an old theme to a new one, from one host to another, or rebuilding it from scratch without losing SEO equity – we handle all three. Migrations start with a full backup and a URL audit. All indexed URLs are preserved or redirected with a 301 map agreed before cutover. Content is migrated including custom post types, taxonomy terms, media, user data, and any plugin data relevant to the new build. We work on staging until sign-off, then run through a pre-launch checklist before touching the live environment.

Ongoing WordPress Maintenance and White Label Support

After launch, WordPress sites need consistent care. Our monthly maintenance retainers cover WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates on a tested schedule; uptime monitoring with fast response; monthly Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals checks; security scanning and hardening with Wordfence or Solid Security; database optimisation; and a monthly allocation of content updates and minor feature additions. Every report is branded to your agency. Your client receives it from you, not from us. Maintenance plans run month to month with no lock-in.

What makes our white label WordPress
development different

Figma-to-WordPress with Zero Interpretation

Most WordPress developers interpret a Figma design rather than build it. They pick the closest theme option, adjust what they can, and leave the gaps. We work the other way. The Figma file is the source of truth. We extract design tokens, map them to CSS custom properties, and build each component exactly as designed – typography scale, spacing, colour, grid, transitions. Before we write a single line of PHP, we review the Figma file for completeness and flag any undefined states. You get a WordPress site that matches the design, not one that approximates it.

Pixel-precise theme builds

Gutenberg-First, Builder-Optional

We build with the WordPress Block Editor as the default because it produces faster, lighter, and more maintainable sites than page builders. Custom blocks are built with the Block API, include proper edit and save components, and give editors a clear authoring experience without requiring developer knowledge. We do not recommend a page builder unless the client's workflow genuinely calls for one. When we do use Elementor or Beaver Builder, we configure it lean and supplement it with custom widgets, not a stack of third-party add-ons that inflate load times and create update risk.

Block Editor specialists

Performance and Accessibility as Non-Negotiables

Every WordPress site we deliver targets a Lighthouse performance score of 90 or above. That is not a best-effort target – it is our delivery standard. Optimised WebP images, deferred non-critical scripts, clean caching, correct font loading, and a structured critical rendering path are part of every build, not add-ons for premium tiers. WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility follows the same principle: keyboard navigation, proper focus indicators, ARIA attributes, logical heading structure, and colour contrast testing are on our standard QA checklist. Your clients get sites that load fast and work for everyone, including users with disabilities and search engine crawlers.

90+ Lighthouse on every delivery

Pure White Label with Honest Scoping

We will never appear on any client-facing file, email, staging URL, or invoice. Your agency gets full credit. The NDA is signed before the briefing call. We do not add our portfolio links to live sites, do not claim credit on third-party directories for work your agency billed, and do not disclose the partnership to anyone. Beyond confidentiality, we scope projects honestly. If a brief is under-specified, we will raise it before quoting. If work is growing beyond the agreed scope, we flag it before we build it. No surprises on invoice day.

NDA on day one, always

From brief to WordPress launch
in four clear steps

Full Partnership Guide
Step 01
Brief and Discovery

You share the project brief, Figma files or design references, any existing WordPress install details, and the hosting environment. We review the Figma file, ask questions before development starts, and confirm scope, timeline, and pricing in writing. NDA is signed before this conversation happens.

Step 02
Theme Build and Block Development

We set up a staging environment, install WordPress, and build the custom theme or blocks. ACF field groups, custom post types, and content management are configured to the agreed content model. You receive staging access to review progress at agreed milestones before we move to the next section.

Step 03
QA, Accessibility, and Performance

Before delivery we run cross-browser testing, keyboard navigation checks, WCAG 2.1 AA audit, Lighthouse performance tests on mobile and desktop, Core Web Vitals verification, and a full functional check of all forms and integrations. Revision rounds from your agency are actioned within 24 to 48 working hours.

Step 04
Launch Under Your Brand

We handle the live deployment to the production environment, DNS cutover coordination, and a post-launch check including a final Lighthouse run and uptime confirmation. All files, credentials, and handover documentation carry your agency's branding. We have never existed on this project.

WordPress development capabilities
across every layer of the stack

Theme and Front-End Development

Custom PHP theme development, WordPress template hierarchy, enqueueing scripts and styles the correct way, child themes, and responsive CSS with no framework dependencies. We write semantic HTML that search engines and screen readers can parse, and we build interactive states – hover, focus, active, empty – so nothing is left undone at delivery.

PHP 8+WordPress Template HierarchyCustom LoopsWP Hooks & FiltersResponsive CSSSemantic HTML

Block Development and Content Architecture

Custom Gutenberg blocks built with the Block API, ACF-powered content models, custom post types, taxonomies, meta fields, and options pages. We design the CMS architecture before we build it, so editors have a clear, logical authoring experience. Block patterns and reusable blocks are set up where they reduce editorial effort without adding layout confusion.

Integrations, REST API, and Headless WordPress

Third-party integrations via the WordPress REST API, custom REST endpoints for decoupled front-ends, WooCommerce REST for headless store builds, CRM integrations, webhook handlers, and JavaScript-heavy components where the page design calls for them. When a brief points toward a headless architecture with Next.js or a React front-end, we scope and build the WordPress back-end to serve it cleanly.

SEO and Content Agencies

Agencies That Win the SEO Client but Need the Site

You rank the client's competitors, win the brief, and then the client asks you to rebuild their WordPress site as part of the retainer. We handle the WordPress build so you do not have to turn down the work or bring in a random freelancer. Every build preserves indexed URLs and existing structured data, so you are not dismantling your own SEO work. The site ships under your agency name. The SEO retainer continues uninterrupted.

Digital Marketing Agencies

Agencies Running WordPress Campaigns That Need Fast Builds

Landing page sprints, campaign microsites, A/B test variants on an existing WordPress site – these need to ship in days, not weeks. We build lean, fast WordPress pages that carry your agency brand and slot into a client's existing WordPress install without conflicting with their theme. Our WordPress expertise means we work in the client's environment rather than around it.

Design Studios

Design Studios That Produce Figma Files but Not WordPress Themes

You design beautiful sites. You should not need a WordPress developer on your permanent payroll to implement them. Hand us the Figma file and we build the pixel-precise WordPress theme. Every component, every breakpoint, every interaction. You present the finished site to the client and take the credit. We send the invoice to you, not to them.

Web Agencies at Capacity

Agencies Overloaded with WordPress Work and Losing Bids

When your internal developers are three sprints deep and a new WordPress brief arrives, you have three options: turn it down, promise a timeline you cannot keep, or call us. We slot in as a silent extension of your team. You brief us the same way you would brief your own developer. We build. You deliver. The client never knows the difference, and you keep the revenue instead of passing it to a competitor.

What agencies say about our
white label WordPress development

"Axis Web Art has been an exceptional white label agency partner for us. They delivered a complex Shopify Plus build exactly on spec and on time. Our client had no idea we had a partner team involved – which is exactly what we needed. We will be working with them on every future project."

John Huey
Nexonta Technologies · Canada

"We have used several white label development partners over the years. Axis Web Art stands apart – the communication is proactive, the code quality is consistently high, and they understand what it means to work under our brand. They feel like an extension of our own team, not a vendor."

Martey Quaye
Digital Movement · Australia

"Reliable, skilled, and completely invisible to our clients – that is everything we ask for in a white label agency. The Axis Web Art team handled a full WooCommerce migration for one of our most demanding clients. Delivered clean, on time, and without a single revision request."

Shaw Walas
Unify Interactive · USA

"The level of professionalism and technical depth at Axis Web Art is impressive. We brought them in on a WordPress build with tight timelines and multiple stakeholders. They navigated the complexity with ease, communicated clearly at every stage, and delivered work that genuinely impressed our client."

White label WordPress development:
questions agencies ask us

White label WordPress development means our team builds WordPress sites for your agency clients entirely under your brand. Your clients see your agency name on every deliverable, every email, and every staging link. We have no visible presence anywhere in the project. We design and build the WordPress theme, configure plugins, set up content management, and hand everything over to you ready for client delivery. All work is covered by a mutual NDA signed before the project brief is shared.
We recommend and build with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) as the primary authoring environment. This keeps the site lightweight, future-proof, and free of page-builder lock-in. We develop custom block patterns, custom blocks using the Block API, and full-site editing templates where the brief warrants it. When a client already uses Elementor, Elementor Pro, Beaver Builder, or Divi and wants to continue with that workflow, we build and maintain within those environments too. We will always recommend the lowest-overhead approach for the specific project.
Yes. Figma-to-WordPress is our most common workflow. We take your Figma file, review it for responsiveness gaps and component completeness, raise any questions before development starts, and then build a pixel-precise custom theme. Components are built to match Figma tokens where they exist, and we use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or the Block Editor's custom field integrations to give editors full control over every editable element. All interactive states – hover, focus, active, empty – are covered before delivery.
We work plugin-lean by default. Core installs typically include Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or ACF Pro for structured content, Yoast SEO or Rank Math for on-page SEO metadata, WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache for caching and performance, Wordfence or Solid Security for security hardening, and UpdraftPlus or ManageWP for backups. For eCommerce we use WooCommerce and WooCommerce-approved extensions. We do not install plugins that duplicate native WordPress functionality, and we audit the existing plugin list on migration or redesign projects to remove bloat.
Yes. Accessibility compliance is on our standard delivery checklist for every WordPress build. That includes sufficient colour contrast on all body and heading text, keyboard-navigable menus and interactive elements, ARIA labels on icon buttons and form inputs, skip-to-content links, logical heading hierarchy, descriptive alt attributes on images, and visible focus indicators. We run automated checks and manual keyboard and screen-reader tests on every site before we hand it over.
Our target for every WordPress production build is a Lighthouse performance score of 90 or above. We achieve this through properly optimised WebP images with correct dimensions and lazy loading, deferred non-critical JavaScript, no render-blocking resources in the critical path, preloaded above-the-fold fonts, a clean caching setup, and a correctly configured CDN where the hosting environment supports one. Core Web Vitals – LCP, CLS, and INP – are verified on both mobile and desktop before delivery.
Yes. WordPress migration and redesign projects follow a documented process. We take a full database and file backup before any changes, build the new theme on a staging environment, migrate all content including custom post types and taxonomies, map any URL changes with 301 redirects to protect SEO equity, test all forms, integrations, and dynamic elements on staging, then run a final UAT checklist before the live cutover. We do not touch the live site until staging is signed off.
Yes. WooCommerce store builds are included in our white label WordPress development service. We configure products, categories, variable products, shipping zones, payment gateways, tax settings, and the full checkout flow. For heavier eCommerce briefs with custom product configurators, subscription models, or multi-vendor requirements, those are handled under our dedicated white label WooCommerce development service, which covers the full eCommerce scope in more depth.
All feedback routes through your agency. We do not contact your client directly unless you have arranged a white-labelled introduction. You collect client feedback, consolidate it into annotated Figma comments or a written revision brief, and pass it to us. We action revisions within 24 to 48 working hours on active projects. Revision scope is tracked against the agreed brief. If the project grows beyond the original scope, we raise it before we build the additions.
Our post-launch retainers cover WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates on a monthly schedule; uptime monitoring with alert response; monthly Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals reporting; security scanning and hardening; database optimisation; and content or feature updates within a monthly hours allocation. All maintenance reports are branded to your agency so they can go straight to your client.
