WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet — and for good reason. It is flexible, powerful and when built correctly, easy to manage. At On the Grid Web Design, WordPress development is one of our core specialties. Whether you need a brand-new site built from scratch or help with an existing one, we have the experience to get it done right.
What We Do With WordPress
We handle every aspect of WordPress development, from initial setup to complex custom builds. Our services include:

- Website migration — convert your existing site to WordPress while preserving your look and content
- Security hardening — protect your site from hackers, malware and unauthorized access
- Site repair and troubleshooting — fix broken layouts, plugin conflicts and performance issues
- Plugin and theme updates and maintenance — keep your site running smoothly long-term
- eCommerce integration — WooCommerce setup, configuration and custom development
- SEO setup — proper configuration of SEO plugins, sitemaps and on-page fundamentals
Custom Themes & Plugins Built for You
Most WordPress agencies install a pre-built theme and hand you the keys. We go further. If you need a design that doesn’t look like everyone else’s site, we build a custom theme — designed around your brand, your content and your goals.
The same goes for plugins. The WordPress Plugin Directory has thousands of options, but sometimes none of them do exactly what you need. We’ve built custom plugins for clients ranging from simple utilities to complex tools that integrate with third-party APIs, databases and mobile apps. We have also published our own plugins in the WordPress Plugin Directory and offer premium plugins for sale.
Migrating an Existing Site to WordPress
Already have a website built on another platform and want to move it to WordPress? We handle migrations from a wide range of platforms — including Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, and custom-built sites — while preserving your design, content and SEO rankings as much as possible. If you want the same look and feel on your new WordPress site, we can make it happen.
We have also worked extensively with other content management systems including Joomla, Drupal, and MODx, so if your existing site runs on one of those platforms, we know our way around it.
WordPress Maintenance & Repair
WordPress sites require ongoing care. Outdated themes, plugin conflicts and neglected updates are among the most common causes of broken and hacked websites. We offer maintenance services to keep your site secure, updated and performing well — and if something has already gone wrong, we can diagnose and fix it.
Common issues we resolve include:
- Site down or showing errors after an update
- Hacked or malware-infected WordPress installations
- Slow page load speeds
- Broken layouts or display issues across devices
- Plugin conflicts causing functionality to fail
- Lost admin access
Why Choose On the Grid for WordPress Development?
We have been building WordPress sites since the platform was in its early days and we’ve seen every version of what can go right — and wrong — with a WordPress build. We do not just install themes and plugins and call it done. We understand the underlying code, which means we can build things other developers can’t, fix things others give up on and make sure your site is lean, secure, and built to last.
We also write clean, efficient code for plugins and themes we develop. That means no unnecessary plugins bloating your site, no stacked third-party libraries slowing it down and no fragile setups that break every time WordPress releases an update.
