What clients say

Clients who came for one fix and stayed for years.

From 6-second load times down to 0.2 seconds. From a single project to recommendations that keep bringing new ones.

What you get

What you get when you work with us

01 Ownership

Code you actually own.

Standard WordPress, written cleanly and documented, with full source access. No proprietary builder your site can't live without, no license that expires with our invoice. Any competent developer can pick up where we left off - though most clients don't want to.

02 Editing

A site your team can run without us.

We build custom Gutenberg blocks and a clean admin around how your team actually publishes. Marketing edits pages, swaps sections, and launches landing pages without filing a ticket - and without breaking the design.

03 Speed

Performance that holds up under real traffic.

Lean custom themes instead of template bloat. One client came to us with 6-second load times; we got them to 0.2 seconds. Fast pages keep visitors around, convert better, and rank higher on Google.

04 Security

Security handled at the foundation.

Hardened configurations, monitored dependencies, and disciplined update routines. And if you arrive with a site that's already been hacked, we clean it, recover it, and close the door it came through.

Everything WordPress

Pick the work you need. We cover all of it.

Each service below has its own page with details, process, and answers. Together they cover the full life of a WordPress site - from the first build to the rescue mission.

01 Build

WordPress websites

Custom-designed, hand-coded WordPress sites. Pixel-perfect frontends, editor-friendly Gutenberg blocks, and performance built in from the first commit.

02 Build

WordPress-based apps

Web applications on WordPress: custom post types, REST APIs, headless setups, member areas, and integrations with the tools you already use.

03 Build

Plugin development

Custom plugins built for your exact workflow - safe, updatable, documented, and yours. No subscription attached.

04 Ecommerce

WooCommerce development

Stores built for serious selling: custom features, payment and shipping integrations, and performance that protects the checkout.

05 Optimize

Performance & speed optimization

Audits and fixes that take load times from seconds to milliseconds. Caching, code cleanup, image pipelines, database tuning.

06 Optimize

SEO optimization

Technical SEO for WordPress: metadata, site structure, speed, and crawlability - so search engines and AI models can find you.

07 Optimize

AI visibility & GEO

Make your WordPress site readable for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity - audits, structure fixes, and practical AI automation.

08 Optimize

Accessibility & UX optimization

WCAG compliance and UX fixes. The European Accessibility Act deadline has passed - for many businesses this is now a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have.

09 Protect

Security audits & website recovery

Hardening for healthy sites. Cleanup, malware removal, and recovery for hacked ones - plus the audit that explains how it happened.

10 Protect

Support & maintenance

Updates, monitoring, bug fixes, and small improvements on a flexible hourly package. A dev team on call without the payroll.

11 Migrate

Webflow to WordPress migration

Move off Webflow without losing your design, content, or rankings. Full ownership and room to grow on the other side.

12 Migrate

Drupal to WordPress migration

Drupal 7 support ended in January 2025. We migrate sites from every Drupal version to WordPress - planned, tested, and launched without data loss.

What we can do

From the pixels to the database.

Frontend development

We build the layer your visitors see: precise, fast, and accessible - with the kind of polish that makes a site feel designed rather than assembled.

  • Pixel-perfect implementation of your design, including transitions and animations.
  • Interfaces built to WCAG 2.2 accessibility guidelines.
  • Custom Gutenberg blocks that make editing feel like part of the design, not a fight against it.

Backend development

We build the layer that runs the business: modular, documented code that adapts as you grow and protects what you store.

  • Clear, well-documented, modular code that makes future updates easier.
  • API integrations connecting WordPress with your CRM, payment, and marketing tools.
  • Strict data protection and code safety protocols on every project.
Who we work with

Teams that hire us for WordPress work.

Most of our clients fall into one of these groups. The common thread: they need WordPress done properly, not just done.

01

Digital agencies & studios

White-label development behind your brand. We sign NDAs, follow your processes, and stay invisible to your clients. Several agencies have worked with us this way for years.

02

IT companies & software houses

Overflow capacity for teams with more projects than developers. We slot into short-term sprints or long-term roadmaps without onboarding drama.

03

Tech startups

Marketing sites and content platforms that keep up with product launches - fast to ship, easy for a small team to maintain.

04

Corporate marketing teams

Sites that pass legal review and accessibility audits, with the visual polish your brand guidelines demand and an editor your team can use.

05

E-commerce & web app owners

From WooCommerce shops to large platforms: custom features, WCAG 2.2 compliance, and security that protects your customers' data.

06

Online entrepreneurs

Solutions sized to grow with the business - start with a site that works today and doesn't need rebuilding next year.

Why Coditive

The team agencies hire when it has to be right.

WordPress is where we started 15+ years ago, and we never stopped shipping it. Our CTO speaks at WordCamps about Laravel Blade in WordPress and query optimization. We sponsor the conferences. This is not a side competency - it's the foundation the whole company was built on.

01

15+ years of WordPress specifically - we've seen every version, every API change, and every way a site can break.

02

One in-house team of full-time developers, designers, and project managers. The person who writes your code is still here next year.

03

White-label and NDA-ready. Agencies across Europe and North America ship our work under their own brand.

04

Direct access to developers, a dedicated project manager, and updates you don't have to chase.

Client feedback

Relationships measured in years, not tickets.

Emily has worked with us for over four years. Doug came back for a third website. That pattern - clients staying - is the metric we care about most.

CTO

Do you build with page builders like Elementor or Divi? +

No - we build custom themes with native Gutenberg blocks. Page builders are fine for small budgets and quick starts, but they cost you speed, flexibility, and ownership later. If a builder genuinely fits your project better, we'll tell you that on the first call instead of selling you a custom build.

Can you take over an existing WordPress site? +

Yes, and we do it constantly. We start with an audit of the code, plugins, and hosting, tell you honestly what state it's in, and then fix, extend, or rebuild as needed. Messy inherited codebases don't scare us - they're half our portfolio.

Do I need a custom plugin, or will an off-the-shelf one do? +

Sometimes off-the-shelf is the right answer, and we'll say so. Custom makes sense when a plugin almost fits but forces your team to work around it, when you're paying for five plugins to do one job, or when performance and security matter more than a quick install.

Can you migrate my site from Webflow, Drupal, or another platform? +

Yes. Migrations are a dedicated service for us, with a planned process: content mapping, redirects, SEO preservation, testing, then launch. We've moved sites from Webflow, every version of Drupal, and various custom CMS setups without losing data or rankings.

What happens after launch? +

Whatever you need. Many clients move to a monthly support package - updates, monitoring, fixes, and small improvements on flexible hours. Others take the code and run it themselves. Both are fine; there's no forced maintenance contract.

How do you handle pricing? +

Two models: fixed price for well-defined projects, time and material for ongoing work. Either way you get a detailed estimate upfront. We accept payments in USD, EUR, and PLN via bank transfer or Stripe.

Will I own the code? +

Yes. Full source code, deployment instructions, documentation - everything. No lock-in, no proprietary systems, no license fees to keep your own website running.

Can you work as a white-label partner for my agency? +

Absolutely. We work with agencies worldwide under NDA. Your clients never need to know we exist, and nothing about our cooperation goes public without your written consent.

How long have you worked with WordPress? +

More than 15 years. WordPress has been our most-requested service for over a decade, and every service we run today - custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce, headless apps, migrations, security - grew out of a real client problem. We wrote down the whole journey.
