Almost Custom Themes

“Almost Custom Themes” are all that is needed to create a beautifully branded website experience. Long gone are the days of $10k websites!

What do you get in a Custom Kadence Theme?

You get RESULTS! Period.

How do we do that? That is the complicated part. Cathy studies new research in user experience, Search Engine Optimization and Digital Marketing. (Some of the relevant bits are published in the Webmaster’s Weekly newsletter.)

Armed with market research, target audience information and your business goals – we create a plan to guide a website user from A to B.

Then we get to work adding your branding to the Kadence theme. The end result is always positive movement toward your goals. (See this Case Study)

You get ALL of this in one package:

FAQ

Get some answers to your questions!

The answer to both is yes! The Kadence Framework provides the basis of all our WordPress themes (since 2021).  The framework is yours and comes with free upgrades for life.  The child theme is the custom-part of the framework that we will create for you, and will be available exclusively for you and your site(s).   Our code is top quality; we use very few plugins when structuring your site. We follow best practices as outlined here and here..

Of course!  We know that one of the biggest benefits to WordPress are the plugins that you can add to your site.  We do our best to reduce any potential for conflicts with plugins. We code according to standards set out here and here by WordPress.  It is still a good idea to discuss any desired plugins with us so we can keep your site safe and secure.

Absolutely. One of the benefits of WordPress is the ease of use.  We will show you how to use it and send training emails designed for small business owners to develop a useful and profitable website.

Your website will come with a ‘documentation’ tab right under the Dashboard tab. It will have tutorials on how to use all the features of your new theme. If you’re wondering about the Block Editor, we recommend the class here.

Absolutely! Remember that these are block themes and you will have an entire library of blocks with which to create unlimited pages. However if you’d like our Fabulous designer to create a couple extra templates for you, we do that at $399 (with purchase of a custom theme).

During our initial conversation we’ll discover if you need other functions like shops, directories or maps added to your project. Anything is possible with WordPress!
