Your website is the living, breathing representation of your brand, values, personality, and capabilities. WordPress is the first choice for most businesses to make an online presence.
While premium themes are reasonable, you usually have to look further than the standard templates if you want a business website that truly reflects your goals. That’s where WordPress theme development comes in: it takes that standard framework and turns it into a vibrant canvas telling your story.
At Cude Design, we specialize in creating custom WordPress themes so that your site is anything but standard.
Why Choose Custom WordPress Theme Development?
Unique Design That Converts
Pre-built WordPress themes can be restrictive when competitors use the same templates. A custom WordPress theme designed specifically for your business gives your business a unique look, matches your branding—from typography to colour scheme—and increases user engagement.
Custom Functionality That Works For You
Custom themes can easily include important features relevant to your business, such as booking systems, advanced payment gateways, and interactive elements that drive traffic and increase engagement.
Better Performance
Pre-built themes are often filled with bloat. By developing a custom theme, your WordPress site will load faster and run more efficiently, improving user experience and SEO.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a custom theme and a pre-made theme?

How do custom themes affect SEO?
Since custom themes are lightweight and have no redundant code, they improve loading times and optimize SEO.
How much do developers charge to make a WordPress website?
It can range from simple—£1,000—to upwards of £5,000 for basic WordPress sites, and in some cases, especially for the more complex ones with specialized or custom designs, upwards of £10,000 or more. You will need to discuss your requirements with a developer, and only then can you gauge how much your project will cost.
