Service Overview
A clear look at what this service covers, how we approach delivery, and where it creates the most value.
WordPress powers over 43% of the web — but most WordPress sites are held back by bloated commercial themes and page builders that prioritise visual drag-and-drop over actual performance. A site running on Elementor or Divi with a premium theme typically carries 4–8MB of unused CSS and JavaScript, directly harming Core Web Vitals scores and Google search rankings.
At Mavin Agency, we build custom WordPress themes using a block-based, component-driven approach. Clean PHP, semantic HTML5, Tailwind CSS, and the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) — themes that give your content team creative control without handing the performance keys to a third-party plugin. The result: faster sites, better SEO, and zero licensing dependency.
Deliverables
What We Deliver
Architecture, integrations, performance, and release-ready execution — without unnecessary scope fluff.
Block Editor (Gutenberg) Development
Custom blocks your editors can use like building blocks — without needing to touch code. Full Site Editing (FSE) compatible for WordPress 6.x.
WooCommerce Theme Integration
Custom WooCommerce templates for product pages, checkout flows, and account areas — matching your brand precisely, not a WooCommerce default.
Page Builder to Custom Theme Migration
Moving off Elementor, Divi, or Beaver Builder? We migrate your content cleanly into a custom theme with measurable performance improvements.
Headless WordPress Frontend
Use WordPress as your CMS with a React/Next.js frontend via WPGraphQL or the REST API. Best of both worlds: editorial simplicity meets frontend performance.
Multisite & Multilingual Architecture
WordPress Multisite configuration and WPML/Polylang integration for businesses managing content across multiple regions, brands, or languages.

GDPR-compliant cookie management (Cookiebot/CookieYes integration), EU data residency, and accessibility standards built into every European theme delivery.
🇿🇦
