WordPress

The most impactful websites don’t just look good. They move your mission forward.

A great WordPress website starts with a clear message, brought to life through thoughtful design and seamless usability for both your visitors and your team. When built with intention, your site becomes a powerful tool for impact and growth — one that adapts as your business evolves.

Our Approach
  • Strategy that aligns your website with how your business actually works.
    Your website should be a catalyst for growth, not a separate piece to manage. We help you clarify your goals, systems, and workflows, then translate them into strategic functionality that supports smarter operations, stronger client experiences, and faster scaling.
  • A trusted team, invested in your long-term success.
    We’re a tight-knit team of experienced developers and professionals who show up with thoughtfulness, skill, and strategy. Our focus is on long-term partnerships, delivering consistent, dependable support that evolves with your business and reflects our deep commitment to your growth.
  • Thoughtful code. Intuitive experience.
    Every WordPress backend we build is designed to give you clarity and confidence, so managing your site feels seamless, not stressful. Behind the scenes, we write custom code from the ground up, ensuring your WordPress website runs cleanly, efficiently, and is built to scale with your business, not break under it.

Why Choose WordPress

WordPress isn’t just a popular platform — it’s a powerful, flexible foundation for building a website that’s truly aligned with your business. Here’s why we often recommend it to founders and forward-thinking teams:

Intuitive to Use

The WordPress interface is straightforward and user-friendly, making it easy for your team to update content, publish blog posts, and manage your site — no developer required (unless you want one).

Deeply Customizable

From strategic front-end design to robust backend functionality, WordPress gives you the flexibility to tailor your site to exactly what your business needs. With custom development and smart use of plugins, we build sites that do more than look good — they work hard for your business.

Built to Scale

Whether you’re just launching or already growing fast, WordPress grows with you. It’s a platform that can evolve with your needs — so you don’t have to start over when you’re ready for what’s next.

Search Engine Friendly

WordPress has strong built-in SEO features and supports fine-tuned optimization, helping search engines find and rank your site more effectively — and helping your audience find you.

Secure and Supported

With built-in security tools, regular updates, and the ability to add features like two-factor authentication and malware scanning, WordPress keeps your site protected while you focus on your business.

A Platform with Possibility

WordPress integrates seamlessly with tools like WooCommerce for e-commerce, MemberPress for memberships, LearnDash for courses, and more — giving you a site that can do more than you imagined.

Alchemy + Aim is really an industry gold standard.

They’re best in class in so many ways. It’s not because the tech world will ever be seamless or perfect. It’s because, no matter what, they show up and they consistently refine their skills.

frequently asked questions

What does it look like to work with Alchemy + Aim?

No two businesses are the same, and neither are the paths we take to support them. Some clients come to us for strategy, others for branding or development. That’s why we always begin with a clarity call. We want to understand your business, your goals, and where you’re headed before making any recommendations. From there, we’ll define a phased approach that reflects what you actually need — nothing more, nothing less — and move forward intentionally from that foundation.

What’s the difference between a custom and a customized WordPress website?

We believe in building the right solution, not just the most elaborate one. We use a proprietary base theme for WordPress that gives us a stable, scalable foundation. A customized site uses that base theme’s pre-built structures and adapts them to your business and brand — updating layouts, styling, and functionality to match your goals. A custom site goes further: it includes uniquely designed pages, advanced features, and often custom-built blocks tailored just for you. Every project includes some degree of customization, but not every business needs a fully custom build to get strong results.

Do you use page builders like Divi, Beaver Builder, or WPBakery?

No. We intentionally avoid page builders because they tend to create bloated code that slows down performance and undermines SEO — which isn’t good for you or your users. Instead, we build using the Gutenberg block editor, the current standard for modern WordPress development. Our proprietary base theme includes both standard Gutenberg blocks and custom blocks we’ve developed, and we create even more custom ones as needed for specific projects. The result is a modular, intuitive editing experience that works like a streamlined box of Legos — powerful, flexible, and cleanly built from the ground up.

Will I be able to update my WordPress site after it’s built?

Yes, and we make sure you’re set up for success. While you won’t be able to rebrand your site or adjust global settings like fonts and colors, you will be able to update content throughout your site. We provide training for any custom features we build, often including video documentation your team can revisit or share. Our goal is to give you long-term autonomy with your content, while always remaining a strategic partner you can lean on when needed.

How long does it take to build a custom WordPress website?

Most projects take between 4 to 6 months, with some larger or more complex builds taking up to 12 months. A thoughtful, intentional website isn’t a quick-turn product; it’s a strategic foundation for your business. If someone promises you a custom site in two weeks, it’s likely based on a template that won’t be fully aligned with your needs or scalable for your future.

Can you help me migrate from Wix, Squarespace, or another platform to WordPress?

Yes. We’ve helped many clients move from platforms like Wix and Squarespace to WordPress. The exact migration process depends on the original platform and what needs to be transferred — but we’ll walk through all of that in a clarity call or technical strategy session. The goal is always to preserve what’s working, while creating a more scalable, flexible site for the future.

What makes your WordPress websites different from other agencies’ websites?

Our difference is in the details — not just visual details, but structural and strategic ones. We treat every site like a garden that needs careful tending, not just planting. From clean code and intuitive backends to our modular block-based development, everything we build is designed to evolve with your business. Our proprietary base theme lets us offer both stability and flexibility, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all or pre-set packages. We start by understanding your business, then we craft the right tech solutions to meet your needs.

Do you use off-the-shelf WordPress themes or build from scratch?

We don’t use third-party themes. Instead, we build from our own proprietary base theme, something we’ve developed and refined over time. It offers a solid foundation we know and trust, which we can then adapt to meet the specific needs of each client. Not everyone needs a fully custom blog layout or unique page structure, and using pre-vetted modules where appropriate helps us keep your project efficient and focused on ROI.

Can you help with SEO for my WordPress site?

Yes, both technically and strategically. We build SEO-friendly site structures, ensure meta fields are editable and optimized, and follow technical best practices. We also work with an SEO-focused copywriter (part of our extended team) who can support deeper optimization. That said, strong SEO also depends on content, so clients who are willing to collaborate on that front will see the best long-term results. We offer SEO packages to meet a variety of needs and goals.

Do you offer post-launch support or maintenance for WordPress sites?

We do. Our Support Services are designed to give you peace of mind after launch. That includes everything from regular updates and maintenance to design or development enhancements as your needs evolve. You’ll never be left wondering who to call. We’ll be there, whether you need a new section, a new strategy, or just a little extra help getting something updated.

I already have a WordPress website. Can you improve or rebuild it?

Potentially yes. The right next step depends on your current site’s structure and goals. Sometimes a light refresh through our support team is enough; other times, a full rebuild is the smarter long-term investment. If you’re unsure, we recommend starting with a Site Audit or a clarity call. We’ll help you assess whether it’s time to evolve what you have, or create something entirely new.

Do you offer headless WordPress development or API integrations?

We don’t offer full headless builds, but we do support a wide range of API integrations. Whether you need your WordPress site to connect to a CRM, marketing tool, scheduling system, or something else, we’ll help you identify the best path forward and build a solution that supports your systems and your goals.

Are your WordPress sites built using Gutenberg blocks?

Yes, that’s core to our approach. We develop all our sites using the Gutenberg block editor, which is the future of WordPress. This ensures a more intuitive editing experience for you and a more flexible, modular development system for us. We use a combination of native, custom, and proprietary blocks to build the exact layout and functionality your site needs — nothing bloated, nothing unnecessary.

Can you integrate my CRM, email marketing platform, or booking tools with WordPress?

Yes, integration is a critical part of making your website an active part of your business ecosystem. Whether it’s a CRM, email automation tool, booking platform, or something more custom, we’ll ensure your site supports your operations and creates a seamless experience for your users and your team.
