Custom WordPress websites built by a team that also runs SEO for a living, so your site is fast, clean, and search-ready from day one.
Four disciplines that decide whether a WordPress build holds up under real traffic, real editors, and real security review.
Hand-built themes compiled from your design system, not a marketplace template with the colors swapped. Semantic markup and a lean asset pipeline from the first commit.
Purpose-built functionality when an off-the-shelf plugin does not fit, and clean integrations when your stack needs to talk to something else.
Core Web Vitals treated as an engineering problem, not a plugin you install and hope. We profile first, then fix the actual bottleneck.
Hardening, monitoring, and patching handled on an ongoing basis, so a known CVE in a plugin does not become your incident.
When a standard theme stops being enough, these are the architectures we deploy instead.
WordPress kept as the editorial backend your team already knows, with a decoupled frontend that renders in milliseconds.
Next.js · Astro · NuxtTyped, versioned content APIs so your app, mobile client, or partner platform can consume WordPress content predictably.
WPGraphQL · REST · WebhooksVersion-controlled infrastructure with staging that actually mirrors production, and deploys that roll back cleanly.
Docker · GitHub Actions · CDNThe engineering surface we cover in-house, without subcontracting the hard parts.
Custom blocks, block patterns, and editor UX your marketing team can use without breaking layouts.
Modern PHP 8 with typed interfaces, plus query and schema work that holds up as your content scales.
React, TypeScript, and Astro frontends wired to WordPress content without sacrificing editor workflow.
LCP, INP, and CLS treated as release criteria, measured on real field data rather than a lab score.
Catalog architecture, checkout flows, and payment integrations built to survive real transaction volume.
Network installs, hreflang, and translation workflows for brands running more than one market.
Content, media, and URL mapping from any CMS with redirect tables that preserve your search equity.
PHPUnit, visual regression, and Lighthouse budgets running on every pull request before anything ships.
Six stages, each with a deliverable you can actually inspect before we move to the next one.
We audit your current stack, content model, and traffic patterns, then document the information architecture, template map, and integration surface before any code is written. You get the plan in writing, not a verbal promise.
Layouts are built as reusable components mapped to real content, so the design survives contact with your actual pages instead of only looking right in a mockup.
Development happens in feature branches against a staging environment that mirrors production. Every change is reviewable, revertible, and documented in commit history you keep.
Cross-browser and cross-device testing, Core Web Vitals budgets, and accessibility checks run before launch, not as a post-launch cleanup ticket.
DNS cutover with a full redirect map, sitemap submission, and Search Console monitoring through the transition, so rankings carry over instead of resetting.
Patch management, uptime monitoring, and iterative improvements on a retainer, so the site keeps improving after the launch announcement fades.
Sectors where the constraints are as important as the design.
Compliance-conscious builds where audit trails, access control, and uptime matter as much as the marketing site itself. We work within your security review rather than around it.
Marketing sites and documentation platforms that ship as fast as your product does, with programmatic templates for scaled content and clean handoff to your growth team.
Multisite networks with departmental autonomy, strict accessibility requirements, and content workflows that survive staff turnover and academic calendars.
Commitments that apply to every WordPress engagement, regardless of size.
Source lives in your repository under your account. No proprietary page builder, no license you have to keep renewing to edit your own site, no lock-in if you take the project elsewhere.
Marketivv runs SEO as its primary business, so crawlability, structured data, and site architecture are build requirements here rather than a remediation project after launch.
We audit what each plugin costs in queries, assets, and attack surface. If custom code is leaner and safer than a bloated add-on, we write the custom code.
Scope drives price here, so there are no package tiers to squeeze your project into. Pick the shape of the engagement and we quote the actual work.
Continuous engineering capacity

Defined outcomes, defined timeboxes
WordPress powers a huge share of the web because it is flexible, extensible, and genuinely good for SEO when it is built correctly. The problem is most WordPress development shops are not SEO people, and most SEO agencies do not build websites. That gap is exactly where a lot of sites end up: technically functional, but slow, bloated with unnecessary plugins, and structurally invisible to search engines.
Marketivv builds WordPress sites from the SEO side of the table. Every theme we build or customize ships with clean semantic markup, fast load times, proper heading structure, and schema-ready templates, because that is the same foundation our SEO clients need anyway. You are not hiring a generic dev shop and a separate SEO agency and hoping they talk to each other. You get both from one team that already thinks this way by default.
Not every project needs a fully custom theme built from scratch, and we will tell you honestly when it does not. A custom build makes sense when your brand or functionality needs something a template genuinely cannot deliver. Heavily customizing a solid existing theme makes sense when you need to launch faster without sacrificing quality. We scope this with you upfront rather than defaulting to whichever option is more profitable for us.
For stores, the build has to handle real commercial pressure: product catalogs that stay organized as they grow, a checkout flow that does not lose sales at the last step, and payment integrations that just work. We build WooCommerce sites with the same performance and SEO discipline as everything else we ship, since a slow product page loses both rankings and customers.
If you are moving from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or an older CMS, the risk is never really "can this be done." It is losing search rankings, broken links, or content that quietly disappears in the move. We handle migrations with a full content and URL audit first, mapping every important page to its new home with proper redirects, so your existing SEO equity carries over instead of resetting to zero.
A website is not a one-time deliverable. WordPress core, themes, and plugins need updates, security needs monitoring, and something eventually needs a small fix or addition. Ongoing maintenance is available as a separate service after launch, so your site stays current and secure without becoming your problem to manage.

Both, depending on your budget and timeline. We custom-build when your brand needs something specific, or heavily customize a solid existing theme when speed to launch matters more. We will tell you honestly which fits your project.
Yes. We build decoupled frontends in Next.js, Astro, and Nuxt with WordPress retained as the editorial backend, exposed over WPGraphQL or the REST API. Headless is the right call when you need app-grade performance or a shared content layer across several properties, and we will tell you when a well-built traditional theme would serve you better for less money.
Yes. We handle migrations from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and legacy CMS platforms, moving your content, SEO equity, and redirects over carefully so you do not lose rankings or traffic in the process.
We profile before we optimize. That means measuring real field data in Search Console, identifying whether the bottleneck is server response, render-blocking assets, or unoptimized queries, and then fixing that specific cause. Typical work includes database index tuning, object and edge caching, critical CSS, deferred JavaScript, modern image formats, and removing plugins that cost more than they contribute.
Yes, when it is built correctly. WordPress itself is SEO-friendly, but a poorly coded theme or bloated plugin stack can undo that. Because Marketivv is an SEO agency first, every WordPress site we build ships with clean markup, fast load times, and proper technical SEO foundations already in place.
Yes. Core, theme, and plugin updates, security monitoring, backups, and uptime checks are available as an ongoing service after launch, so your site stays secure and current without you having to think about it.
A focused brochure or service-business site typically takes a few weeks. A custom build with WooCommerce, integrations, or a large content migration takes longer. We will give you a realistic timeline once we understand your scope.
