In WordPress theme development, the design of your website is programmed as a custom theme – with templates, blocks and styles that contain only what your site needs. Nano Concepts turns designs from LOMA DESIGN or your existing corporate design into a modern block theme with theme.json or a classic theme, and trains your team in maintaining it. A theme for a company website usually falls under the Starter package from €2,500, extensive themes with many templates and functions under the Professional package from €8,000.

WordPress theme development with Nano Concepts

Having a WordPress theme built means the look of your website doesn't come from a theme marketplace but is programmed for your company. Off-the-shelf themes are designed for as many industries as possible and come with sliders, layout variants and often a page builder – you never need much of it, but your visitors have to load it anyway. A custom theme contains only your templates, your fonts and your components. That makes the website faster, maintenance clearer and leaves you independent of a theme vendor's update decisions.

01

We prefer to develop block themes for the WordPress site editor: colors, fonts and spacing are defined centrally in theme.json, and templates and patterns are available to your team as ready-made building blocks. That way you create new pages without accidentally breaking the design. Where it makes more sense, for example for existing websites with many custom fields, we build a classic theme with custom templates and Advanced Custom Fields. Alternatively, we adapt purchased themes via a child theme, so updates don't overwrite your changes.

02

The design is created together with our partner agency LOMA DESIGN at the same location in Dudenhofen – or we implement your existing designs from Figma or your corporate design. Because design and development are closely coordinated, every design becomes a theme that works equally well on smartphone, tablet and desktop. At the end you receive a personal walkthrough and brief documentation of the building blocks, so your team can safely create new content and pages on its own.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about WordPress theme development

Yes, if your website should load fast, look unmistakably like your brand and be maintained for the long term. A custom theme contains only the code your site needs and doesn't depend on a theme vendor's updates. For very small sites with a short lifespan, a well-chosen off-the-shelf theme with a child theme can be enough – we'll tell you that openly.

A theme for a company website with a few page types usually falls under the Starter package from €2,500. We price themes with many templates, custom blocks, multilingual setup or store integration under the Professional package from €8,000, and large portals individually as an Enterprise project. You receive the exact quote after the free initial consultation.

That depends mainly on the number of templates and on whether the design already exists. It is faster with finished designs than when LOMA DESIGN creates the layout from scratch. In the initial consultation you receive a schedule with fixed coordination dates.

For new websites we usually recommend a block theme, because your team uses templates and building blocks directly in the site editor and styles are maintained centrally. A classic theme makes sense when an existing website with many custom fields is being developed further. We build both update-ready to WordPress standards.

Yes, and often more safely than with many page builders: you work in the familiar block editor with building blocks that are already styled in the right design. You maintain text, images and new pages yourself, and the layout stays stable.

Yes. We migrate pages, posts and media into the new theme and replace shortcodes or page-builder elements with suitable blocks. If addresses change, we set up 301 redirects so old links and search engines keep finding the right pages.
