IN ONE SENTENCE
Custom WordPress development means building a website around a business’s actual content, workflows and technical requirements instead of adapting a generic theme or page-builder stack.
That can include a custom theme, structured content model, reusable editor blocks, migrations, API integrations and performance-focused architecture.
Maksut provides custom WordPress development for business websites, rebuilds, migrations and platform integrations. Projects are scoped before development and delivered directly by the developer responsible for the architecture and implementation.
WHAT I BUILD
Start with a complete website, a rebuild of an existing site, or a move to WordPress. The proposal identifies the pages, editing controls and connections your business needs.
01
Build service pages, case studies and enquiry routes around the questions your customers ask. Your team gets reusable page sections and editing controls for everyday updates.

02
Review the current site before rebuilding. Map important pages and URLs, plan redirects where needed, migrate agreed content, and check navigation, forms and tracking before launch.
03
Connect WordPress to CRMs, APIs, internal services and multi-site publishing workflows as part of a wider website, rebuild or platform delivery—without turning the site into a chain of overlapping add-ons. Standalone plugin systems and proprietary integration logic are scoped through Custom Plugin Development.
SELECTED WORK
Selected websites across transport, travel and professional services. Explore the page layouts, content structures and functionality built for each business.

Reusable page sections, appropriate editing permissions and a walkthrough of everyday content updates.
Responsive templates and agreed performance checks using representative pages and real content.
A documented theme, plugin and integration setup, with dependencies and ongoing costs identified.
Access to the agreed code and site administration, plus handover notes for your team or next developer.
WHO THIS IS FOR
For businesses that need a site their customers can use and their team can update. The initial review establishes whether a focused improvement or a full build makes sense.
You need a fast, conversion-focused website with structured templates your team can operate confidently.
The current theme or page-builder stack is slow, fragile or difficult to extend, but the content and search equity still matter.
The website needs to exchange data with a CRM, marketing platform, internal API or external service without becoming another fragile plugin chain.
For teams comparing a WordPress development company with an independent specialist, the model here is intentionally direct: one senior developer owns the architecture, implementation and handover, without adding an agency layer between the project and the person building it.
WHEN A SMALLER CHANGE IS ENOUGH
If your existing site works and only a form, page or plugin needs attention, start with that problem. I will review the current setup before recommending a rebuild. A suitable existing theme or plugin can be retained.
HOW IT WORKS
Goals, users, content, constraints, integrations and success criteria.
CLEAR SCOPEContent model, templates, components, migration rules and technical boundaries.
BUILDABLE SYSTEMIterative development on staging with functional, responsive, accessibility, performance and search checks.
VERIFIED STAGING BUILDProduction release, documentation, repository handover and post-launch support.
A TEAM THAT CAN OPERATE ITA clear scope, a working production system, a Git-backed codebase and documentation your team can actually use.
Start with your brief →TECHNICAL FOUNDATION
The exact tools change with the problem. The architecture principles do not.
SEARCH FOUNDATION
Technical search fundamentals are part of the build: semantic HTML, crawlable templates, performance, migration hygiene and structured-data support where it accurately describes the page.

Receive a fixed proposal in GBP after the brief and current site are reviewed. Page templates, content migration, integrations and testing determine the scope. Share your budget range so the first recommendation is realistic.
Agreed pages and functionality, design responsibility, migration volume, testing, launch and handover. Deliverables and exclusions are written down before work starts.
Confirm who supplies copy, images and translations. Hosting, domains, paid licences, maintenance and ongoing SEO are identified separately; they are included only when stated in the proposal.
Focused business websites commonly launch in 3–6 weeks after scope approval. Complex migrations, multisite and integration-heavy projects are scoped separately.

Retainer vs Fixed-Price Project →The proposal lists the pages and templates, editing controls, integrations, migration work, testing, launch and handover included in your project. Design, copywriting and content entry responsibilities are agreed explicitly rather than assumed.
I provide a fixed proposal in GBP after reviewing the brief. The main cost factors are unique templates, design requirements, content migration, integrations and testing. Share a budget range and I can suggest a realistic scope. Hosting, domains, paid licences and ongoing services are separate unless the proposal includes them.
A focused business website is commonly scoped for 3–6 weeks after approval, with content and design decisions ready. Large migrations, complex integrations, additional revisions or delayed approvals require a different schedule. The proposal confirms milestones and dependencies.
I am based in Istanbul and work remotely with UK and European businesses. Communication is in English, with calls and launch windows agreed around UK working hours. Suitable projects from other countries are welcome too.
Yes. I review the current theme, plugins, hosting and the problem you need to solve first. A focused fix may be enough. An existing page builder or plugin is not removed simply because it is already installed.
Important pages, URLs, metadata and tracking are inventoried before migration. Where URLs change, relevant redirects are planned and checked. Forms, internal links and indexing controls are reviewed before and after launch. This reduces migration risk; search rankings cannot be guaranteed.
Yes. If your designs and content structure are approved and you need the theme and editing controls built, the custom theme development service is the most direct starting point. For a complete website project, design responsibility is agreed in the proposal.
We agree who supplies copy, images and any approved translations before work starts. Handover includes the agreed code, administration access and operating notes. Hosting, domain and third-party licence ownership are identified in the proposal so your team understands what it controls and what it needs to renew.
Yes, where the API and access permissions support the requirement. The scope covers what data moves, validation and what happens when a connection fails. A standalone plugin or complex business workflow has its own plugin development scope; store checkout and ordering work is handled through WooCommerce development.
The proposal defines the handover and initial support period. Ongoing updates, backups and recovery support are available through WordPress Care. Further feature development and continuing SEO work are scoped separately, so recurring services are a clear choice.
