Discover
We map today’s process, systems and data for custom themes, Gutenberg blocks and WooCommerce, talk to the people who run it and agree the baseline for page speed score and plugins in use, so progress is measured from week one.
Design
We design the flows, roles, approvals and integrations for custom themes and Gutenberg blocks, and review a clickable prototype or technical design with the people who will use it before anything is built.
Build
We build in weekly demos, starting with custom themes, then Gutenberg blocks and WooCommerce. Each release is tested on your own data and passes a human approval gate before the next begins.
Launch
We migrate data, train your team and support go-live. After 30 days we review page speed score and plugins in use against the baseline and agree what to extend next.
