Striped Horse

WordPress Development Agency

Most WordPress sites are built on generic templates with code that slows them down and boxes you in. At Striped Horse, we build WordPress websites tailored to what your business actually needs. Whether that is a clean, fast site on a reliable framework or a fully custom build from the ground up. Every page loads fast, every detail is intentional, and your team can manage the site without needing a developer for every small change.

LET’S GET STARTED

Whether you need a brand new build or want to improve what you already have, we are the WordPress development company that handles every part of the process in house - whether you need a simple page builder site or a fully custom experience with unique animations and functionality.

Custom WordPress Web Design

Your site should look like your brand, not a theme someone else already bought. We design every WordPress site from scratch with your goals, your audience and your visual identity at the center.

WordPress Web Development

Hand-coded, performant builds with no bloated templates and no off-the-shelf shortcuts. Every line of code is written for your specific site so it loads fast, scales well and stays easy to maintain.

Plugin development and customization

Need functionality that does not exist out of the box? We build custom WordPress plugins tailored to your requirements so your site works exactly the way your business needs it to.

WooCommerce development

Custom online stores built on WordPress and designed to convert. From product pages to checkout, every touchpoint is built to reduce friction and drive revenue.

WordPress migration and rebuilds

Moving from another platform or starting fresh on a better foundation? We handle the full migration without losing your content, your SEO rankings or your existing traffic.

WordPress performance and security

Slow sites and security gaps cost you customers. We audit and optimize for Core Web Vitals, load times and WordPress-specific vulnerabilities so your site stays fast, secure and reliable.

WordPress integrations

Connect your WordPress site to the tools your business already runs on. CRMs, marketing platforms, third-party APIs and more - we handle the integration so everything works together without the headaches.

01.
Discovery & Strategy
We start by understanding your business, your goals and your audience. We review your existing site if you have one, map out your technical requirements and confirm that WordPress is the right platform and setup for what you need. By the end of this stage we have a clear project scope, a defined tech stack and a roadmap everyone has signed off on.
02.
Design and wireframing
Before any code gets written, we design the full visual direction of your site. Wireframes come first to align on layout and user flow, then full mockups that bring your brand to life. Every design decision is made with WordPress in mind so what you approve is exactly what gets built.
03.
WordPress development
This is where we build. Custom theme development, plugin setup and development, and all integrations configured and tested. Whether we're working with a framework or building from scratch, the code is clean, well-structured and written specifically for your site and how your team will use it.
04.
Content migration and CMS setup
We migrate your existing content, configure the WordPress CMS and set everything up so your team can manage pages, posts and media without needing a developer. If you are starting from scratch we get the structure in place and ready to populate.
05.
Every build goes through thorough QA before it goes live - cross-browser testing, mobile responsiveness, plugin conflict checks, Core Web Vitals and security hardening. Once everything passes we manage the full go-live including DNS, hosting and a hands-on CMS training session for your team.
Testing and launch
06.
Ongoing support
The relationship does not end at launch. We offer flexible retainer options covering updates, plugin management, performance monitoring and new feature development so your WordPress site keeps performing as your business grows.
Design and Development Under One Roof

Your design and your code are built together by the same team. No vendor juggling, no miscommunication, no brand inconsistencies between mockup and final build.

Built to Convert From Day One

We come from a marketing background and it shows. Every layout, every user flow and every call to action is built to turn visitors into customers, not just impress them visually.

WordPress experts, not generalists

We build in WordPress every day. Custom themes, purpose-built plugins, performance optimization and CMS configuration - we know the platform inside out and build to its strengths, not around its limitations.

SEO-conscious builds

Every WordPress site we build is structured with search in mind from day one. Clean code, fast load times, proper heading hierarchy and technical SEO best practices baked into the build before it goes live.

Deep Industry Experience

eCommerce, SaaS, healthcare, education, nonprofits and more. We bring cross-industry context to every project, not just technical execution.

We stay after launch

We stick around after go-live with retainer support for updates, optimizations and new features. No starting over with someone new every time something needs to change.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"They're great in every category, and not only the work they do is great, but they are very accommodating and communicative. I was very fortunate to have Danielle leading the web development team-- it was no easy task to take over a year-long project along with a bunch of new devs to work with into a working product in less than two months' time. One of the challenging project-wise for our university website project and she got the team doing good work and managed to get where we need to be. I will continue to work with her!"

I can't say enough good things about working with the Striped Horse team in designing a new website for our Center at Stanford. They were fantastic -- really responsive, creative and solutions-oriented, hard-working and on-the-ball in all aspects of managing and executing a complex project like this. Their rates are quite reasonable given the incredible value you get from the work. And the outcomes are terrific - they created a great-looking, user-friendly site designed to optimize for our goals. My strong recommendation is: do not delay, and try to get the Striped Horse team to work with you on your project! You can't do better, and you won't regret it.
