Atlanta · WordPress web design

Atlanta WordPress sites your marketing team can edit itself

You get branded blocks, the training to use them, and a layout nobody can break.

We’ll open your site together and tell you what we’d change. Thirty minutes, no deck, and if you don’t need a rebuild we’ll say so.

Hi 👋 that’s Chris, in the orange. He’s on the review call, and he’s on the build.

The problem, in your words

Your site didn’t fail. It drifted.

It launched clean. Every button matched, every page had a job. Then the calendar started doing its thing.

Launch day

Clean. Every button matched. Every page had a job.

Month three

Someone added a page, couldn’t find the header style, and made the text bigger by hand.

Month six

A banner went up that didn’t quite match. Nobody said anything.

Month twelve

Half the buttons look different and the whole thing feels off.

The problem: by month twelve someone says the words every marketing team eventually says. We need a redesign.

You don’t. The site didn’t fail because it was built wrong. It drifted because your team got handed something only a developer could safely touch.

Blocks, not a blank canvas

Every site we build starts from the same library of 41 blocks. Your site gets the 10 to 15 it actually needs, restyled to your brand, so your team never starts from a blank page.

The Tuesday afternoon test

Your team builds pages by stacking them

Nobody picks a font, nobody guesses at spacing, and nobody has to have an eye for design to put up a landing page on a Tuesday afternoon.

Building a page stops being a design exercise and goes back to being a content exercise.

Included in every build

Video training, recorded on your site

Not a generic help doc. Every site ships with training recorded on your actual site, in your actual admin.

When someone new joins the marketing team in eighteen months, the training is still there.

Nobody can break the layout, including the new hire

This is the part your developer will ask about, and it’s a fair question.

Most “your team can edit it” promises mean somebody gets admin access and full rein over the CSS, which is how a marketing coordinator takes a page down two days before a launch. The blocks are the guardrail.

The type scale

Set once, by us. Not a menu your team ever sees.

The colors

Your brand palette, and only your brand palette.

The spacing

Every block is spaced correctly before anyone touches it.

Change words

Headlines, body copy, button text. All yours.

Swap images

Upload, crop, replace. The frame stays put.

Reorder sections

Drag a block up or down the page.

Publish pages

A new landing page on a Tuesday afternoon, without a ticket.

The edits that matter are open. The ones that break things aren’t there to make. You’re not trading a bottleneck for a worse one.

The proof

Evangel University

A 4,000-page university site, run by two people in-house

Evangel came to us on an old page builder with thousands of pages and a brand-new style guide that looked nothing like their site. We picked the 30 to 40 pages prospective students actually visit, designed the blocks those pages needed, rebuilt them first, then moved the rest over the following year.

What that bought them: when their marketing team needed a new page type, we built the template once and handed it over. They filled it and published it. That arrangement ran for three years.

Before. The page builder era.

Evangel University homepage after the rebuild, built from branded blocks

After. Built from blocks their team runs.

“We wanted to migrate those websites over to a consolidated platform that each brand’s marketing teams could manage by themselves.”

No B-team.
Ever.

No B-team means the people on your kickoff call are the people who build it.

What it costs

Most Atlanta agencies make you book a call to hear a number. Ours are on the pricing page.

Custom WordPress Sites

Everyone wants to know what the pricing is. Let's get the ballpark estimates out of the way.

This is what you get:

Custom building-blocks

You get 10-15 branded website components that snap together like Lego pieces. These enable your marketers to create new pages, campaigns, and ideas quickly and independently.

Drag-n-drop editing

Your marketing team builds pages by simply dragging sections into place and adding content. Change anything, instantly. No more playing telephone with developers or worrying about mistakes.

Built-in training videos

Every website includes step-by-step video tutorials embedded in your admin panel so your team can solve challenges without waiting for support.

5-year durability

Your website stays fast, secure, and easy to use for years without expensive rebuilds. We build with core WordPress technology that grows with your business instead of becoming outdated.

This is what it'll cost:
WordPress website, education, bi-weekly meetings, and weekly status reports included across all.

$15,000

5 hand-crafted pages, blog (6 weeks)

$25,000

6-10 hand-crafted pages, blog, custom content, more QA (2 months)

$35,000

11+ hand-crafted pages, blog, custom content, custom dev, messaging (3 months)

Yea, but your website may not fall into these simple buckets. Take a deeper dive.

The constraints

We only build websites, and only for teams who want to run them

We don’t do ads, we don’t do SEO retainers, and we don’t take a project where the plan is to hand it back to us for every change. That last one isn’t a preference, it’s the whole model. If you want an agency that stays in the loop on every edit, we’re the wrong shop, and there are good ones in Atlanta who do exactly that.

The teams this works for have someone in marketing who wants the keys.

About the address

Yes, we’re in Decatur

Six miles from downtown, and we’ve been here since 2004. We work with teams across metro Atlanta and with clients in Missouri, Colorado, and California, so the office matters less than it used to.

If you want to meet in person, we’d rather. If you never want to, that works too.

The drift doesn’t stop on its own

Every month you wait, someone adds another page that doesn’t quite match, and the redesign you’re trying to avoid gets closer. A review costs you half an hour.

We’ll open your site together and tell you what we’d change. Thirty minutes, no deck, and if you don’t need a rebuild we’ll say so.
