WordPress design and development that gives marketing teams a fast, secure site their editors can run.
Custom themes, editorial workflows, and performance work on the platform that runs a third of the web.
WordPress rewards disciplined architecture. Temper And Forge designs, builds, and engineers sites that scale with your content.
How We Build On WordPress
01
Architecture and theme strategy
Every build starts with the decisions that determine how the site ages: custom theme or block-based, which plugins earn their place, and how content types map to your editorial reality. The architecture gets set before design begins, because early decisions are the ones a WordPress site lives with.
02
Custom design and block builds
Design gets built as a component system, not a page-by-page skin: custom blocks your editors can compose, patterns that hold the brand line, and templates that stay consistent as the site grows. Your team publishes without a developer in the loop, and the design stays intact.
03
Performance, security, hardening
The stack gets tuned where WordPress requires the most discipline: caching and asset strategy for Core Web Vitals, plugin audits that remove dead weight, and hardening that closes the doors attackers check first. Performance and security are engineered into the build, not patched afterward.
04
Editorial handoff and growth
Launch includes editor training on the block system, documentation of the decisions behind the build, and a roadmap for the site's next phase. The platform was chosen so your team could own it, and the handoff is treated as part of the build.

Our website was slow and didn't reflect our new messaging, so we brought Temper And Forge in to help us rebuild it. They redesigned our website layout and architecture, revamped our resources section so users can sort by section and market, and built the new site in WordPress using Advanced Custom Fields. They were incredibly communicative throughout — they used Monday.com to keep us on track and were always responsive. We get excellent value for our money.
