Wordpress

WordPress powers over 40% of the world's websites, and offers a cost-effective, flexible and easy to use platform for creating an online presense. WordPress can be further enhanced through it's extensive ecosystem of plugs-ins and third-party tools. RobotPixel can help you design & build a custom WordPress website that's easy to maintain and matches your brand identity.

Even though our origins are in custom web development, we try and apply much of the same philosophy to our WordPress projects. This means thinking holistically about the project, keeping the site as lean as possible and avoiding plug-in bloat with dozens of single purpose add-ons (we especially appreciate ASE in this regard). Beyond just helping with general performance, this avoids re-occuring subscription fees that can add up to hundreds of dollars per year.

WordPress Services

  • Site Set-Up

    One of the greatest benefits of the WordPress platform is the ability to quicky create an attractive website for a relatively low cost.

    RobotPixel has extensive experience with the entire process of creating and launching a WordPress site, including design & development, server set-up, and user training. We work with a number of hosting providers to offer affordable, mananged hosting solutions.

  • Site-Builder Websites

    Site-builder tools offer a fast, often code-free way to create a WordPress website. This is ideal for clients that may want to build out pages and content for themselves.

    Lots of these types of tools exist, but we prefer Oxygen Builder for it's powerful query-builders and custom code options while also working well with WordPress's built-in block editor.

  • Custom Theme Development

    RobotPixel can help clients develop a custom WordPress theme that will set their site apart, fulfill online business goals and work across the widest possible range of screens & devices.

    Unlike site-builder tools, a custom theme requires the entire front-end structure to display the CMS content. This is especially valuable for companies that have strict branding guidelines or require more complex features.

  • E-Commerce Tools

    WooCommerce is a free plug-in that adds all the necessary tools to create a basic online storefront. This includes the product database, categorization tools and checkout/payment functionaliy. Paired with a service like Stripe, it can be one of the fastest ways to get up and running.

    WooCommerce has it's own ecosystem of plugins and enchancements allowing for almost endless customization.

RobotPixel has teamed up with CloudWays to offer performant, scalable and managed WordPress hosting. RobotPixel maintains several Virtual Private Servers, or clients can choose to spin-up their own dedicated server within minutes. Hosting plans include free SSL Certificates, Cache management, Chron Job functionality (for automating tasks) and daily back-ups. We can even help you migrate your current site to our platform.
