Custom WordPress Development
Cude Design provides custom WordPress development for businesses across the UK. From bespoke functionality and API integrations to migrations, multisite, membership platforms and complex WordPress builds, our developers work around the technical requirements of each project. We also provide ongoing development for existing WordPress websites, whether you need new functionality, performance improvements or help solving a specific technical problem.
Custom WordPress Development Services
Our WordPress developers build and extend websites around specific technical requirements, from bespoke functionality and API integrations to custom workflows and complex backend features.
We work on both new WordPress projects and existing websites that need additional functionality, performance improvements or technical changes. Each project is scoped before development begins so the requirements, approach and expected outcome are clear.
Whether you need a custom plugin, member area, third-party integration, multisite setup or functionality that standard plugins cannot provide, our team can design and develop it within WordPress.
WooCommerce Development
We develop WooCommerce websites that need custom functionality beyond a standard store setup, including bespoke checkout logic, subscriptions, marketplaces, payment integrations and connections with third-party systems.
Where the project becomes primarily eCommerce-focused, our dedicated WooCommerce team can handle the wider store build, optimisation and ongoing development.
WordPress Migration Services
We migrate WordPress websites between hosting providers, domains and development environments, as well as moving websites from other platforms into WordPress.
The migration is planned around the existing content, functionality, URLs and integrations so important data and SEO value are not lost during the move.
For more complex websites, we can also handle staging environments, database migrations, redirects and compatibility issues before the new site goes live.
Enterprise WordPress Development
We develop WordPress websites for organisations with more complex technical requirements, including large content structures, multiple user roles, integrations, custom functionality and multisite environments.
For larger projects, we plan the architecture, permissions, integrations and development requirements before work begins, giving the project a clear technical scope from the outset.
Our dedicated Enterprise WordPress service covers projects where scalability, governance and ongoing development need more detailed planning.
Custom WordPress Theme Development
We develop custom WordPress themes for businesses that need greater control over performance, content structure and functionality than an off-the-shelf theme can provide.
Themes are developed around the approved website design and content requirements, with reusable components that allow your team to manage and expand the site without relying on fixed templates.
We can also develop or extend custom themes for existing WordPress websites where the current setup has become difficult to maintain or limits further development.
Client Success Stories
Custom WordPress Plugin Development
We develop custom WordPress plugins when existing plugins cannot provide the functionality a project requires.
This can include bespoke business tools, calculators, integrations, automated processes, customer-facing functionality and extensions to existing WordPress features.
Where appropriate, we can also modify or extend existing plugins rather than building everything from scratch. Each project is scoped around the required functionality, compatibility and how the plugin will be maintained as the website changes.
About Cude Design
Cude Design has specialised in WordPress for more than 16 years, working with businesses that need custom development, integrations and ongoing technical support.
Our developers work on both new WordPress projects and existing websites, from custom themes and plugins to API integrations, multisite, membership platforms and other bespoke functionality.
We take the time to understand the technical requirements before development begins, then scope the project clearly so you know what is being built, how it will work and what is required to maintain it afterwards.
For ongoing projects, we can continue supporting and developing the website after launch, giving you access to the same team as your requirements change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a WordPress development company do?
A WordPress development company builds, extends and maintains WordPress websites that need more than standard theme or plugin functionality.
That can include custom themes, bespoke plugins, API integrations, multisite, membership platforms, eCommerce functionality and ongoing technical development.
How much does custom WordPress development cost?
The cost depends on the complexity of the project, the amount of custom functionality required and whether we are working on an existing website or building something new.
Smaller development tasks may be quoted individually, while larger projects are scoped in detail before we provide a fixed proposal or ongoing development arrangement.
Can you work on an existing WordPress website?
Yes. We regularly work on WordPress websites built by other agencies or developers.
We can add new functionality, improve performance, resolve technical issues, integrate third-party systems or take over ongoing development and support.
Do you develop custom WordPress plugins?
Yes. We develop custom plugins where existing WordPress plugins cannot provide the required functionality reliably.
This can include integrations, calculators, automated workflows, customer tools and other functionality built specifically around the business.
Can you integrate WordPress with our existing systems?
Yes. We can connect WordPress with CRMs, payment providers, booking systems, marketing platforms and other business software through APIs.
We scope the data flow and integration requirements before development begins.
Do you provide ongoing WordPress development?
Yes. We provide ongoing development for businesses that need regular improvements, new functionality, technical fixes or integrations after the initial project is complete.
This can be arranged as ongoing support or scoped development work depending on what you need.
Can you migrate an existing website to WordPress?
Yes. We can migrate websites from other platforms into WordPress, as well as moving existing WordPress sites between domains, hosts or development environments.
We plan migrations around content, functionality, URLs and existing SEO value.
