WordPress and WooCommerce Development

Custom WordPress websites, WooCommerce stores, and custom PHP plugins. Softlimes builds fast, editable sites and custom inventory or checkout logic without bloated page builders.

  • Custom Themes Without Bloat
  • WooCommerce BOM & Stock Plugins
  • Easy Editor Fields for Staff
  • Core Web Vitals Cleanup

WordPress and WooCommerce work well when they are built cleanly without thirty conflicting plugins slowing down every page load. We write custom themes and targeted PHP plugins so your site stays fast for visitors and simple for your staff to manage.

For online retailers with complex stock rules, we build custom WooCommerce plugins. For example, our WooCommerce Inventory and Bill of Materials (BOM) plugin validates that all child components required to build a product are in stock before allowing a sale, and depletes component inventory automatically when the order is fulfilled.

For service companies, we build custom WordPress themes with structured editing blocks so your marketing team can publish new landing pages, case studies, and blog posts without breaking mobile layouts.

We also audit existing WordPress and WooCommerce sites to remove slow plugins, upgrade PHP and database versions safely on staging, and fix Core Web Vitals.

WordPress & WooCommerce Process

How we proceed with your WordPress or WooCommerce project

Every WordPress and WooCommerce build runs through five clear steps so your theme, plugins, and checkout rules are tested before launch.

Step 1

Discovery & strategy

Audit plugins, post types, SKU rules, and SEO URLs

We review your current site or store requirements, list the exact page templates, custom post types, and WooCommerce stock or shipping rules needed, and map target SEO keywords.

  • Page template, custom post type, and plugin audit
  • WooCommerce SKU, shipping, and payment gateway spec
  • URL structure and 301 redirect protection plan

Step 2

Design & prototyping

Design Figma page templates, blocks, and mobile cart flows

We design every WordPress page template, product filter, and mobile WooCommerce cart step in Figma so you can review and approve the layout before coding starts.

  • Custom Figma designs for pages, products, and checkout
  • Reusable content block specification for your editors
  • Custom plugin workflow and database table blueprint

Step 3

Build & develop

Code custom theme templates and lightweight PHP plugins

Our developers code your custom WordPress theme and WooCommerce plugins on a private staging server using clean PHP 8.x and native hooks without heavy page-builder bloat.

  • Custom WordPress theme with structured editor fields
  • Custom WooCommerce plugin code and payment/shipping hooks
  • On-page SEO metadata, schema markup, and fast WebP assets

Step 4

Test & QA

Test staging orders, stock deduction, forms, and speed

We place test WooCommerce orders, verify stock validation and email receipts, check contact forms, and test mobile Core Web Vitals across real devices.

  • End-to-end WooCommerce checkout and stock validation test
  • Cross-browser mobile and desktop QA checklist
  • Core Web Vitals, query count, and plugin security audit

Step 5

Launch & support

Migrate live data, cut over DNS, and support your store

We sync final orders and content, switch DNS with zero downtime, train your staff on editing blocks, and set up automated off-site backups and monitoring.

  • Zero-downtime launch with SSL and 301 redirect checks
  • Recorded WordPress/WooCommerce editor training guide
  • 30-day post-launch support plus optional managed hosting
