I will build a fast custom wordpress theme with generatepress


About this gig
Page builders are why your site is slow. Bloated multipurpose themes are why nobody can maintain it.
I build custom WordPress themes as GeneratePress child themes: a clean, lightweight, actively maintained foundation, extended with real PHP templates and hooks instead of drag-and-drop layers.
What you get: A theme built around your exact layout, not a template you fight against Custom templates: homepage, archives, categories, author, single post, search Custom post types and taxonomies with structured fields software, listings, directories, recipes each with its own archive and single template Strong Core Web Vitals: minimal CSS, no unused scripts, optimised images Clean, commented code your next developer can actually read Upgrade-safe: GeneratePress updates never break your customisations Compatible with WooCommerce if you add a shop later
Ideal for magazines, content sites, directories, portfolios and business sites that need to keep publishing for years without a rebuild.
Have a Figma design, a site to rebuild properly, or simply a reference site you like? Send it over and I'll tell you what's realistic before you order.

FAQ
Why GeneratePress rather than a theme built entirely from scratch?
Because you get a maintained, security-patched, accessible foundation for free, and I spend the budget on what actually makes your site different. A from-scratch theme costs more and ages faster. If you specifically need one, message me.
Where do custom post types live — in the theme?
In a small companion plugin, not in the theme. That way your content survives any future theme change. Registering them inside the theme is a common shortcut that traps your data the day you switch.
Do I need a GeneratePress Premium licence?
No. I build with the free version and write the templates and hooks myself, so there's nothing extra to buy and your theme doesn't depend on a paid add-on. If you already own GP Premium, I'll use it — but the theme works without it.
Can you rebuild my existing site without losing content or SEO?
Yes. Content, URLs and metadata stay untouched — only the presentation layer changes. I work on a staging copy first, so your live site keeps running until the new theme is approved.
I don't have a design — can you still build it?
Yes, most projects start without one. Send me a reference site you like, your brand colours and fonts, and a short list of what each page must show. I turn that into a working layout you can review before the build is finished.
