The Webdom is a freelance web design and development company specializing in custom WordPress websites for small businesses, non-profits, and personal use.

Why not create a website yourself using a website builder?

“Drag and drop” website builders are easy to use but lack flexibility and may leave you frustrated with the process and the results.

What about using a free or premium WordPress theme?

Free and premium WordPress themes have similar pitfalls to website builders unless you know how to create new page templates and modify the theme stylesheet.

If your website needs are very basic, then there are some good themes that can be used as a starting point for your project. This is a good option for someone needing a quick web presence. If your project fits this description, a custom theme may not be needed.

For the majority of projects, a custom website is the best solution. With a custom WordPress theme, every aspect of your website will be designed to meet your requirements. Rather than force your design and content into an existing template, the style, layout, navigation and information flow will be customized to meet your specifications. Your maintenance and administration needs will be considered in the design, so that once your site is launched you will be able to update it, if you choose.

Custom sounds expensive.

It’s not as costly as you think. By leveraging frameworks such as Bootstrap, I can develop a responsive website efficiently and in a reasonable timeframe thereby lowering my cost. And by researching existing WordPress “plugins” (applications or tools that extend the functionality of WordPress) and choosing the best ones for your site, I will be able to deliver a feature-rich website at a reasonable cost. In many cases, these plugins will be modified to meet the exact requirements of your website.

I don’t want to deal with domain registration and hosting set-up!

Then leave that to me. The Webdom provides “start to finish” support if you don’t have the time or inclination to deal with those aspects of launching a website. I’ve learned (in some cases the hard way) which hosting companies offer the best performance and service.

Sounds good! What now?
