Custom Solutions from Expert WordPress Developer

Custom WordPress Themes

In recent years, the demand for custom WordPress websites and theme development has grown significantly. As expert WordPress developers, Darkstar Media has the experience to build your custom theme and website or help manage your existing one. We also provide a concise user manual and training so you can confidently manage your new site.

We use our own highly flexible WordPress template, which allows us to implement any design you envision. This is the perfect tool for creating a brand theme free from the limitations common in many paid and free theme packages.

Custom Plugins

Sometimes, a standard plugin doesn’t quite meet your unique needs. Whether you need to add extra functionality or can’t find the right solution, we can develop a custom plugin tailored for you.

We also specialize in extending industry-standard plugins like WooCommerce and RankMath by adding custom hooks and functionality to perfectly align with your business processes.

Whatever your business requires, we are happy to work with you to reach your goals.

WordPress Shopping Carts

We have developed numerous websites that include a comprehensive eCommerce component. Our plugin of choice for implementing eCommerce functionality is WooCommerce due to its flexibility and ease of customization. WooCommerce allows us to create highly tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of your business.

Whether you need a fully functional online store or a more simplified approach, we can configure WooCommerce to handle everything from product management to content control.

In some cases, we leverage WooCommerce’s robust features for content management while disabling the payment processing capabilities when they aren’t required. However, we are also adept at working with other eCommerce tools and platforms, giving you the freedom to choose the solution that best fits your needs.

Professional WordPress Maintenance, Support & Help

Keep your website — WordPress or any platform — secure, fast, and fully functional with our expert maintenance and support services. Our team also provides SEO support, including content creation and posting, to help your site stay visible, optimized, and competitive. From updates and backups to troubleshooting and ongoing website management, we take care of the technical work so you can focus on growing your business.

Website Page Speed and Loading Time

With the rise of many new WYSIWYG WordPress tools such as Divi, Elementor and WP Bakery Page Builder we have noticed a decline in page quality and page loading time for websites. This also can be a result of a poorly made theme or plugin (frequently just too many plugins), We understand that these tools can be very helpful for managing content for non-web designers, yet we recommend you use the tools sparingly.

Regardless of whether you use them or not our WordPress Developers can help speed up and optimize your websites with a variety of tools and techniques. If you are curious about the performance of your current site, follow this link to Google Page Speed Insights and test it out.
