What we build

Theme work on the products we maintain, or a design that starts from nothing.

Extending BuddyX or BuddyX Pro

Child themes, custom templates and design changes built on top of BuddyX Pro without losing the ability to update it.

BuddyX Pro

Customizing Reign

Layout, color and template changes to a Reign-powered community, including its LearnDash, Tutor LMS or marketplace add-ons.

Reign

A theme built from a design

When neither BuddyX nor Reign fits, we build a theme from your design file against BuddyPress or BuddyBoss templates.

BuddyBoss-compatible theme work

Theme customization that respects BuddyBoss Platform's own template structure instead of fighting it.

Migrating an old theme forward

Moving a community off an abandoned or unmaintained theme onto BuddyX, Reign or a maintained custom build.

Performance and accessibility passes

Auditing an existing theme for slow templates, layout shift and keyboard and screen reader gaps, then fixing what is found.

How a theme project runs

  1. We audit the current theme

    What is templated, what is hard-coded, and what breaks if we touch it, before anything is quoted.

  2. We build on staging

    Templates and styles are built and reviewed on a staging copy against your real content.

  3. We ship and hand over

    The theme goes live with its source in your repository, ready for the next developer to pick up.

What theme development customers say

  • Fantastic 6 star support. I wanted to setup a membersite and tried many solutions. I contacted Wbcom for BuddyX and tried the theme with Buddypress. I am not a webdesigner or a coder, but had a requirement that was not standaard. I contacted WBcom and Pallavi helped me from start to finish with snippets to get my requirement working. Thanks Pallavi for your patience and support.

Questions

Do we have to use BuddyX or Reign?
No. They are the themes we know best and maintain ourselves, but we build on any theme, including one built entirely to your design.
Will a theme update undo our customization?
Child themes and documented hooks keep customization separate from the parent theme's files, so an update does not overwrite what we built.
Can you redesign a community that is already live with members?
Yes. The redesign is built and reviewed on staging, and we schedule the release for a quiet window so members see one clean change, not a half-finished one.
What if we want to leave afterward?
You keep the theme's source code and documentation. Nothing is licensed to us or tied to hosting we control.
