With extensive experience working across a wide range of WordPress themes, frameworks, and block libraries, I am highly familiar with the tools available to create visually stunning and highly functional websites. I’ve worked on numerous projects involving custom WordPress theme development for various industries, ensuring that each site is not only visually appealing but optimized for performance and usability. Whether it’s creating fully custom solutions or modifying existing frameworks, my goal is to deliver seamless, responsive designs that meet both client expectations and technical demands.

A Fully Custom WordPress Theme Built from Scratch

You’re currently viewing a basic, fully custom-built WordPress theme, designed from the ground up to be fast, flexible, and fully responsive.

This isn’t just a modified template; it’s an original theme that will soon become part of an upcoming overall theme and plugin project. While this version is a solid starting point, more advanced themes can be made to suit specific needs – that means enhanced features, unique customizations, and a tailored design.

Key Features of This Custom Theme:

  • Custom Theme Settings: Tailored theme options that allow easy management of the site’s content and functionality. A dedicated settings panel includes the ability to add or modify social media links in the footer, ensuring you stay connected with your audience on all platforms.
  • Hamburger Mobile Menu: A fully custom mobile menu solution. With an intuitive “hamburger” icon that expands into a smooth, animated dropdown, this ensures easy navigation for mobile users while maintaining a sleek look.
  • Responsive Design: Built with mobile-first principles, this theme ensures seamless adaptability across all screen sizes, from desktop to mobile, providing a consistent experience for all users.
  • Optimized for Performance: This theme was designed to be lightweight and fast-loading, minimizing server requests and optimizing assets to ensure high performance across devices.
  • High PageSpeed Insights Scores:
  • Performance: Achieved a score of 99, highlighting the fast-loading nature of the theme.
  • Accessibility: Scored 95, ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can easily navigate and interact with the site.
  • Best Practices: Scored a perfect 100, showcasing adherence to web development best practices, enhancing both security and user experience.
  • SEO: Scored a perfect 100, demonstrating that the theme is well-optimized for search engines, helping it site rank higher in search results.

Some of the key frameworks and tools I’ve worked with:

  • Elementor: A popular page builder framework used to create highly customizable, drag-and-drop layouts without coding. I’ve developed numerous custom layouts using Elementor, enhancing both design flexibility and performance.
  • Genesis Framework: Known for its lightweight and SEO-friendly structure, Genesis has been a go-to for building fast, secure, and scalable WordPress sites. I’ve worked extensively in customizing child themes and integrating Genesis with various plugins.
  • Divi: A powerful theme and page builder, I’ve used Divi to craft visually appealing websites with advanced layouts, custom modules, and mobile-friendly designs.
  • Kadence Blocks: A robust block library designed to enhance the Gutenberg editor, I’ve used Kadence Blocks to create dynamic content layouts and optimize sites for better user experience and faster loading times.
  • Stackable: Another block library that provides advanced features and customization options for Gutenberg, I’ve utilized Stackable to build responsive, highly interactive pages with minimal coding.
  • Astra Theme: One of the most popular lightweight themes, I’ve worked with Astra to deliver high-performance, SEO-optimized websites. Its flexibility makes it ideal for integrating with page builders like Elementor and Beaver Builder.
  • Beaver Builder: A flexible page builder framework that allows for creating visually dynamic sites without touching code. I’ve developed custom modules and templates to extend Beaver Builder’s core capabilities.
  • Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg (UAG): I’ve integrated UAG to provide additional blocks and design flexibility within the Gutenberg editor, improving content creation workflows and adding custom functionality.
  • WPBakery (Visual Composer): As one of the most widely used page builders, I’ve leveraged WPBakery’s drag-and-drop interface to build custom layouts, making content management easier for clients.
  • Gutenberg Block Editor: As the core WordPress editor, I’ve extensively customized the Gutenberg editor with custom blocks, extending functionality and improving the user interface.
