Our Agency’s Approach to Custom WordPress Web Design
At Maple, we are WordPress obsessed. The vast majority of our client sites are custom-built using the WordPress Block Editor. And our focus on backend usability empowers your internal, non-technical teams to keep growing and improving your site even if Maple isn’t in the picture. Here are the core beliefs that drive our process:
#1. Your Website Is the Foundation of Your Digital Marketing Strategy.
Every custom WordPress site we build is designed to support and enhance digital marketing activities that drive traffic, generate leads, and grow revenues.
#2. Your WordPress Website Is a Profit Generator, Not a Sunk Cost.
Your website can and should deliver a clear, measurable return on investment (ROI) in the form of qualified leads and increased sales.
#3. Website Strategy Drives Everything We Do.
Before we create a single design element or write a line of code, we collaborate with you to establish your website’s core strategy.
#4. No Third-party Themes, No Page Builders, No Nonsense.
We build sites that are 100% customized for our clients’ needs, with none of the junk code and performance issues of themes and page builders.
#5. Design for Mobile First.
We design websites with the smallest screen in mind and scale up from there, so you can be sure your mobile conversion rate is as high as possible.
#6. Websites Must Be Easy to Use — for You and Your Visitors.
One of the main reasons we choose to build custom in WordPress is the ease-of-use it delivers on the backend. That’s a must-have, not a nice-to-have.
#7. Your Website Should Grow With Your Business.
Our WordPress websites are designed to be flexible, scalable, and easy-to-use so your team is empowered to add and update marketing pages without needing technical expertise.
#8. Follow Web Design Best Practices, Not Trends.
We have been in the WordPress web design business long enough to know that design trends come and go, but usability and performance drive long-lasting results.
#9. Websites Must Be Secure & Accessible to All.
We build to the highest standards of data privacy and accessibility without compromising your site’s aesthetic appeal or usability.
